Is it normal to masturbate after having an anal fistula surgery? I'm kinda worried if it might interfere with my healing. It's been around 1.5 months since my operation and the wound isn't fully healed yet.

Masturbation after an anal fistula operation should be approached with caution, especially if the wound is not fully healed. Engaging in activities that put pressure on the area could delay healing or cause discomfort. Its best to consult with your doctor for personalized advice based on your recovery progress.

**Rephrased user query:** I've had an anal fissure for two weeks and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, fidonal cream, and sitz baths with betadine. But I'm confused about two things why did he say to avoid non-veg food for a month? How does that affect the fissure? Also, can I just use my finger to apply the cream instead of the applicator? And if I end up needing surgery, how long until I can get back to my normal routine?

Non Veg causes constipation in few induviduals so that might aggravate your fissure symptoms...You can use ur finger too to apply as its designed like that whereas while using your fingers u have ur nails so u feel discomfort...After fissure surgery u can return back to normal in two days

I went to a general surgeon for constipation and noticed a small flesh near my anus. After a proctoscopy, she said I have grade 1 piles inside and a fissure outside. She suggested laser surgery for both as a permanent solution but I'm unsure if it's necessary since grade 1 piles can often be treated without surgery. Is laser surgery risky or should I consider other options first?

do all requred lab report first to understand risk and progress.
