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've had an outgrowth near my anus for the past 3 years that causes itching. I also have constant gas and acidity issues my stomach always feels full of gas. The gas puts pressure on my heart, and I have to strain during bowel movements. I had a VSD heart surgery back in 1999. Is surgery an option for the anal outgrowth since I'm not on any medications right now?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
