Question 1

I'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?

Accepted Answer

-It seems you have a painful boil, likely an abscess or infected pilonidal cyst. Keep the area clean, avoid pressure, and continue your prescribed medications. If there's no improvement in 2-3 days or if swelling worsens, consult your doctor for further e

Question 2

I've got fourth-degree piles with really bad bleeding, pain, and itching it's so uncomfortable I can barely sit or walk sometimes. Right now, I'm using diltigesic gel and taking hamamelis mother tincture, but nothing's helping. The pain and bleeding won't stop. Should I consider surgery, or are there other non-surgical treatments that might work better?

Accepted Answer

With fourth-degree piles, surgical intervention like a hemorrhoidectomy is usually necessary to remove the prolapsed hemorrhoids and address the persistent pain, bleeding, and discomfort. While lifestyle changes and some home remedies can offer temporary relief, they don't address the underlying cause of the prolapse

Question 3

I went to see a doctor who said I have external piles but I haven't had any bleeding or pain for the past year. Before that, there was occasional bleeding but it stopped. If there's no discomfort now, how can I still have piles? The doctor used an instrument to check and confirmed it. What's the best way to handle this can it resolve on its own or do I need surgery? I've attached the prescription for reference. What do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned about having piles that don't cause pain or bleeding, but the doctor's diagnosis using an instrument means they are likely present. External hemorrhoids can resolve on their own, and many cases don't require surgery. However, it's important to follow the doctor's advice and address any underlying issues that may be causing them

I'm having some pain when I poop, and I've noticed there's a mole or something that has popped up near my butt hole. It's not bleeding, but I'm worried. What could it be? Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may have developed a hemorrhoid or a skin tag near the anal area. While it's not uncommon, I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options, especially if the pain persists.
