I've been dealing with a fistula since 2013 and already had two surgeries but it's still not fixed Now my doctor is recommending laser surgery since the fistula is connected to my anal canal I'm really confused about whether to go for it or not Does laser surgery work better for this type of fistula and what are the risks compared to regular surgery

Laser fistula surgery is minimally invasive and may reduce recurrence compared to conventional surgery;risks include incontinence if muscle is damaged.

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.

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain and burning sensation in my anus for the last couple of months. At first, there was some blood too, so I thought it might just be a small cut or something and I tried using Boroline on it. The bleeding stopped, which is good, but the pain and burning are still there, mostly when I'm using the toilet. Could you please give me some advice on how to make this go away?
It sounds like you might be dealing with an anal fissure, which is common and causes pain, burning, and sometimes bleeding. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid straining during bowel movements. You could also try using a stool softener, warm sitz baths, and apply a soothing ointment like Anusol or Hydrocortisone cream. If the pain persists, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
