I'm dealing with a small pimple or boil right at the opening of my anus, and it's making it hard to pass motion, especially when I'm constipated. I also notice that eating spicy food sometimes causes pain during bowel movements. Can you advise me on which type of doctor I should see about this?

You may be experiencing a condition known as an anal abscess or a hemorrhoid. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter stool softeners like Colace (docusate sodium) to ease bowel movements. You can also apply over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream like Preparation H to the affected area to reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've got grade 3 and grade 4 piles but they don't hurt, and there's no bleeding when I use the bathroom. However, after I'm done, I have to push the grade 3 piles back in. I'm wondering if there's any medication that can actually cure hemorrhoids. Is that possible?

It will reduce, sometimes surgery also needed.

Also, what should I look for when choosing a surgeon for this kind of operation?

Colon cancer surgery should be performed by an experienced surgeon, ideally someone with a strong background in colorectal cancer. Dr. Sushil Kumar from AIIMS Delhi is a reputable surgeon. Look for experience, patient reviews, and hospital reputation when choosing a surgeon.
