I'm dealing with these recurring anal fissures, and it's really uncomfortable. Right now, they're not active, but I'm worried about them coming back again in the future. I've heard Ayurveda can help, and I'm interested in treatments that might stop this from happening. Any advice on what to try?

View allI'm having some pretty bad anal pain that started a couple of days ago, and it came on out of nowhere. I noticed the area is a bit hard on one side, and it's really painful. It's making sitting and doing any tough tasks really difficult. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I can do about it? I'm pretty uncomfortable and could really use some advice.

I just got a sonogram report showing two tracks in my anal fistula and I'm considering laser surgery how effective is this treatment and what should I expect during recovery
Laser surgery, specifically FiLAC (Fistula-Tract Laser Closure), offers a minimally invasive approach to treating anal fistulas and is generally considered effective, particularly for certain types of fistulas. Success rates vary, but generally range from 60% to 85%, depending on factors like fistula complexity and patient health. Recovery is typically quicker than with traditional surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks.

I'm really worried because my dad found a lump near his anus. My mom and I took a look with a torch, and it's a bump right on the side. He's been in pain, and it's making it hard for him to go to the bathroom, like it's partially blocking things. I'm wondering, could this lump be cancerous? And if it's not, is there a way to treat it without needing surgery?
It is probably an external hemorrhoid. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, there are various over-the-counter medications available in India such as Smuth cream, Anovate ointment, and Proctosedyl ointment. These medications can help reduce pain, inflammation, and itching associated with hemorrhoids. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can also help manage hemorrhoids. However, if the hemorrhoid does not improve with conservative measures, surgical options such as rubber band ligation or hemorrhoidectomy may be considered. It is best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.
