I've been dealing with a low fistula track for over a year now and I'm really hoping there's some treatment option other than surgery - is there any other way to heal this or manage it better The pain and discomfort from this fistula has been bothering me for more than a year and I'm worried about surgery - are there any effective non-surgical treatments I could try This low fistula track has been persistent for a year now - are there any medications or home remedies that might help instead of going under the knife

I have a small pea-sized mass that protrudes from my anus during bowel movements but there's no pain or bleeding. Can this be removed with laser or surgery? How much does the procedure usually cost and will I need to stay in the hospital for it?

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the last three months, and in the past month, I've been using Smuth ointment after sitz baths and taking Cremaffin Plus at night. It seemed like things were getting better, with about 90% healed, but today I passed a hard stool and the tear happened again in the exact same spot. It's like history repeating itself, as it happened before in another direction but still in the same area. I'm really worried and wondering why this keeps occurring. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you are experiencing recurrent anal fissures despite the initial healing. To help prevent further tearing and promote healing, you can try using Anovate cream after each bowel movement and continue with sitz baths. Additionally, you can take a stool softener like Duphalac to prevent hard stools and reduce straining during bowel movements. Make sure to stay hydrated and include fiber-rich foods in your diet to help with bowel movements. If the issue persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I was diagnosed with fistula in ano back in 2015 and had open surgery for it in June that year, but I'm still dealing with issues like itching, bleeding, and irritation around my anus. I also struggle with constant constipation. What could be causing these problems to persist even after surgery, and what can I do to finally get relief?

follow-up with the surgeon is advised to the patient.
