I'm dealing with a healing anal fissure and I'm thinking about having sex with my girlfriend. Could this make my fissure worse or cause any problems?

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a common sexually transmitted infection.

Treatment for genital warts caused by HPV:

  1. Topical treatments: Imiquimod cream, Podofilox solution, or Sinecatechins ointment
  2. Cryotherapy: Freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen
  3. Surgical removal: Excision or laser treatment
  4. Antiviral medications: Interferon or Cidofovir (in severe cases)

Consult a dermatologist or a urologistgynecologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Note: HPV itself cannot be "cured," but the symptoms (genital warts) can be treated.

While surgery is often recommended for stage 3 piles, it's not always the only solution. Non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or electrotherapy can be effective, especially for internal hemorrhoids. These procedures work by reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. Additionally, addressing the underlying cause of the piles, such as constipation, with lifestyle changes like a high-fiber diet and adequate hydration, can help manage symptoms and prevent further progression

My laparoscopic surgeon recommended anal dilation sphincter surgery for my chronic hard stool and constipation issues. Can you explain how this procedure works and why it's needed? Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.

Anal dilation and sphincter surgery, also known as Lords' Dilatation or lateral internal sphincterotomy, are procedures aimed at widening the anal sphincter and easing the passage of stool. While they can provide relief, they are often considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed, as they can sometimes affect bowel control
