I've been dealing with a fissure for the last two months and consulted both a colorectal surgeon and a gastrointestinal surgeon. They said it can be managed with diet changes, but that's only a temporary fix both recommended surgery for a permanent solution, which I don't want to do. Is homeopathy or Ayurveda a good option for long-term relief?

To remove fissures permanently, surgery is generally the most effective option, especially for chronic or non-healing fissures. A procedure called Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) is often performed to relax the anal sphincter muscle and allow the fissure to heal.

I'm having some pain when I poop, and I've noticed there's a mole or something that has popped up near my butt hole. It's not bleeding, but I'm worried. What could it be? Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may have developed a hemorrhoid or a skin tag near the anal area. While it's not uncommon, I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options, especially if the pain persists.

I had a fistulectomy surgery three months ago and everything seems fully healed now, but I'm wondering about the proper way to clean the anal area during stool passing do you need to insert a finger inside to clean it? Just wanted to check what's safe post-surgery

After fistulectomy, gentle cleaning with water is sufficient. No need to insert fingers unless advised. Maintain hygiene to prevent recurrence.

I've been having a burning sensation around my anus during bowel movements. A BAMS doctor suggested surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing this issue?

A burning sensation during bowel movements can be caused by several factors, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, infections, or even dietary irritants. While surgery might be an option for certain conditions, there are often non-surgical approaches that can provide relief and address the underlying cause. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, ideally a proctologist or gastroenterologist, to determine the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment.
