I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a week now and I'm using Soframycin, but it hasn't really helped. I noticed some bleeding at first, but that's stopped, although it's still tough to sit down comfortably. Could you suggest any medicine that might help speed up the recovery?

I'm using lignocaine 2 jelly for my anal fissure or piles like the doctor recommended. I'm a bit worried and curious about any side effects. Could this cause any problems I should be aware of while using it?

I've had thrombosed piles for the past week and the pain is unbearable can't sit or walk properly. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them but I'm worried because I already had hemorrhoid surgery back in 2012. Is another surgery really necessary or are there other options to manage this?
Recurrent thrombosed piles with severe pain may require surgery if conservative treatments fail; a second surgery is possible but alternatives like laser can be considered.
