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 have an infected fistula near my butt and my allopathic doctor recommended surgery right away. Is there any way to treat this without surgery using homeopathy? There's no bleeding, just some pain in that area now and then. What would you suggest?

An infected anal fistula usually requires surgery for proper treatment. While your doctor has recommended immediate surgery, it's important to understand the different surgical options and what to expect.

I've had anal pain for the past two months and noticed a tear when I checked in the mirror some people said it might be an anal fissure. Three days ago, I saw a general surgeon but he didn't examine the area and just gave me pain meds for five days along with diet advice. I've been following the diet for a month and taking the meds for three days, but the pain hasn't stopped. How long does it usually take for this to heal, and is surgery the only option or can it be fixed with diet like fruits and veggies? Why hasn't it gotten better yet?

Anal fissures typically heal within 6-8 weeks with conservative treatment, and diet plays a significant role in this process. If the pain persists beyond this timeframe, it may indicate a chronic fissure that requires more aggressive treatment.
