I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

I had a fistulectomy surgery three months ago and everything seems fully healed now, but I'm wondering about the proper way to clean the anal area during stool passing do you need to insert a finger inside to clean it? Just wanted to check what's safe post-surgery

After fistulectomy, gentle cleaning with water is sufficient. No need to insert fingers unless advised. Maintain hygiene to prevent recurrence.

I've had an anal fissure at the 6 o'clock position for the last two months and been using laxatives and ointments. There's also some external bulging at 11 o'clock, but my doctor said it's normal due to the fissure and constipation. Will this heal with just medicine or will I eventually need surgery? I'm currently doing ayurvedic treatment too.

please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital
