I'm just wondering if it's okay for someone who recently had an open surgery for piles to eat foods cooked in mustard oil. Also, what are the foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and drinks she should avoid after this surgery? Any home remedies that could help her with the recovery? And is there a way to treat piles permanently without having to go through surgery again?

Yes, a patient who has undergone open surgery for piles can consume mustard oil in moderation, as it does not directly affect recovery. To aid healing, she should avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods, as well as alcohol. Focus on a high-fiber diet with fruits like papaya and vegetables, stay hydrated, and avoid constipation by drinking plenty of water. For prevention without surgery, maintain a high-fiber diet, regular exercise, and avoid prolonged straining during bowel movements.

Is surgery always necessary for sentinel piles or can they be treated with oral meds or topical gels? I've heard mixed things and want to know if there are non-surgical options that actually work
Surgery for sentinel piles isn't always necessary. While it may be the best option in some cases, especially for chronic or severe issues, non-surgical treatments like lifestyle modifications, oral medications, and topical gels can often provide effective relief and resolution

I've been dealing with this small lump about the size of a pea near my anus for months. After I have a bowel movement, it gets bigger and really painful, and I'm also dealing with constipation. I've seen a couple of doctors, and one said it's an anal abscess and gave me meds, but there's been no change. Another doctor gave me different meds that were supposed to be more effective, but no luck there either. I did some reading online and found information on hemorrhoids, so now I'm not sure if it's an anal abscess or hemorrhoids. I read abscesses can be caused by anal sex, but I've never had anal intercourse. I'm really confused and could use some advice on what this might be. Can you help me figure it out?
If it was abscess, then it should have been investigated further. Many times, abscess require surgical drainage. I would suggest you get it checked out by a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.
