Question 1

I have first stage piles and struggle with hard bowel movements. My doctor recommended enlarging the anal canal without operating on the piles. I'm a bit confused is this procedure safe and effective for my condition? What should I expect if I go through with it?

Anal canal dilation can help early piles; it‚Äôs a safe, non-surgical outpatient option if properly done.

Leg Pain Due to Cold Air Exposure

_Possible Causes_

1. _Cold-induced vasospasm_: Exposure to cold air from fans or ACs can cause blood vessels in your legs to constrict, leading to pain.
2. _Muscle cramps_: Cold air can also cause muscle cramps, especially in the legs.
3. _Poor circulation_: Reduced blood flow to the legs can contribute to pain, especially in cold environments.

_Self-Care Measures_

1. _Avoid direct exposure_: Try to avoid sitting directly under fans or ACs.
2. _Dress warmly_: Wear warm clothing, especially on your legs, when in cold environments.
3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to maintain blood flow and circulation.
4. _Stretch and move_: Regularly stretch and move your legs to improve circulation.

_When to Seek Medical Attention_

1. _Severe pain_: If pain is unbearable or worsens over time.
2. _Persistent pain_: If pain persists or recurs frequently.
3. _Other symptoms_: If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs

Question 3

I'm dealing with a fistula issue that's been bothering me for the past year, and it's been draining pus continuously. I really need to find a good doctor who specializes in fistulas. Can you help me figure out what kind of treatment options might be available or suggest any tips for finding the right specialist? I'm pretty worried about this situation and would appreciate any advice you have.
