I've been applying Smuth cream for my piles as prescribed, and it's been helping to reduce the size. But now, I've started experiencing really itchy sensations around my anus and the area beneath my scrotum. It's gotten to the point where I can't stop scratching, and now there's this flaky, dry skin developing and peeling off when I do. The doctor suggested I try a sitz bath, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if this is something to be concerned about? Its really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really worried about the side effects of surgery for an anal fissure. Homeopathy says it can be cured with just medicines, but I still have this thick skin layer outside my anus from a chronic fissure that's causing trouble. They strongly advise against surgery, but I'm not sure what to do. Is surgery really risky? What are the possible side effects? I'm scared to go through with it but the discomfort is getting hard to handle.
side-effects include pain,bleeding,infection and headache.

I'm scheduled for surgery next week for 4th-grade piles, and I'm a bit nervous. My main concern is post-surgerywill I be able to sit comfortably during the five-hour drive home from the hospital?
After piles surgery, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged sitting (more than 30-45 minutes) for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing; since you have a 5-hour journey home, consider the following: break the journey into smaller segments with regular breaks (every 1-2 hours) to stretch, walk, and rest; use a doughnut-shaped cushion or a pillow to reduce pressure on the surgical site; and follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions regarding travel and activity.
