Its been a couple of days since I've noticed something like a pimple near my anus. It really hurts when I sit, and I figured it might be a pimple because theres some swelling. Do you think it could be something else, and what should I do about the pain? Any advice would be really helpful.

My laparoscopic surgeon recommended anal dilation sphincter surgery for my chronic hard stool and constipation issues. Can you explain how this procedure works and why it's needed? Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.
