It's been about 2.5 months since my laser piles surgery, but the swollen veins near my anus haven't fully gone down yet. My doctor says everything's fine, but I'm still worried should I be concerned? Is this normal healing time?

View allI've had an anal fissure for about 8 months now with an 8mm mass near the front. It only hurts during bowel movements when my stool is hard, otherwise no pain at all, but there's a little pus at the site. Do I need surgery for this? If so, what are the side effects? Would lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) be recommended and what are its side effects?
Given the presence of an anal fissure for 8 months, a mass, pain during hard stools, and pus, surgery might be needed to address the chronic nature of the issue and potential infection.

However, these should be used cautiously and not for long periods without consulting a doctor. High-Fiber Diet: To avoid constipation and straining, encourage your husband to consume a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and drink plenty of water.
