I'm having a really tough time with piles, and it's creating a lot of pain and discomfort when I'm trying to use the bathroom. Lately, I've also noticed some blood in my stools, which is pretty worrying. Do you think using Anovate cream would help alleviate the situation? I'm really desperate for some relief.

I'm scheduled for surgery next week for 4th-grade piles, and I'm a bit nervous. My main concern is post-surgerywill I be able to sit comfortably during the five-hour drive home from the hospital?

After piles surgery, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged sitting (more than 30-45 minutes) for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing; since you have a 5-hour journey home, consider the following: break the journey into smaller segments with regular breaks (every 1-2 hours) to stretch, walk, and rest; use a doughnut-shaped cushion or a pillow to reduce pressure on the surgical site; and follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions regarding travel and activity.

I've been having a lot of swelling and really bad pain in my perineum and one side of my anus. I can feel this firm lump near the anus opening and the whole perineum area is super swollen and firm too. It's incredibly painful and sometimes I get the chills and a fever from all the pain. I've been taking paracetamol to help a bit, but the pain just keeps coming back when it wears off. It's been like this for three days now, and it's just getting worse. I tried sitting in hot water and it gives some temporary relief, but I'm worried. What could this be and how do I treat it?

Your symptoms, including severe pain, swelling, and a firm lump in the anal region, perineal swelling, chills, fever, and temporary relief with hot sitz baths and paracetamol, suggest a possible perianal abscess or anal fistula consult general surgeon
