I've been dealing with an anal fissure for a year now. At first, the pain wasn't too bad and didn't happen often, but over the last month, it's gotten really bad with constant pain and itching. I've seen 23 doctors and they all say surgery is the way to go. Is there any chance it could be treated without needing an operation?

I've been suffering from a fistula for the past two years and tried homeopathy but it hasn't helped. There's still bleeding and white discharge - should I consider surgery or stick with homeopathy? I'm really worried about this ongoing issue.

I'm kind of worried because it's been a month since I had surgery for my anal fissure. They did both a fissurectomy and lateral internal sphincterotomy, but I'm still seeing blood sometimes when I poop. It seems to happen right at the end, just when I think I'm done. Do you think this bleeding could be related to piles? I'm a bit scared and would love some guidance on what might be going on.

I'm dealing with a lump near my anus that's been there for two days now. It's starting to get a bit smaller, but I'm still not feeling back to normal. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an anal lump, which could be due to various causes like hemorrhoids, an abscess, or even a small infection. Since it's improving but not fully gone, its important to keep the area clean and consider seeing a healthcare provider if it persists or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions.
