I've been dealing with a fissure and it's really painful, especially during bowel movements the pain lingers all day. I'd prefer to see a female doctor for a checkup and want to know if surgery might be needed. Can you help me understand my options?

I have a painful swelling near my anus but no bleeding, is surgery the only option or can it be treated another way? Also what foods should I stay away from to help with this?

It could be a perianal abscess or thrombosed pile; sitz baths, pain meds, and dietary changes help‚Äîsurgery is needed only if it worsens.
