I've been dealing with piles for a long time and it's really bothering me lately. Can you suggest the best medication to manage it without surgery? Also, what foods or habits should I avoid to help it heal faster and get back to normal?

I've been dealing with an anal fistula for around 4 years and have only tried homeopathic treatment so far but it hasn't worked. Is homeopathy still an option for me or should I consider surgery at this point?

Given that your anal fistula has persisted for 4 years without improvement, it‚Äôs unlikely to heal with homeopathy alone. Chronic fistulas typically require surgical intervention for definitive treatment. I recommend consulting a colorectal surgeon to discuss your options.

I've noticed a small bump or pimple right at the opening of my anus for the past couple of days, and it's quite painful and uncomfortable. I'm wondering if I need to see someone in the gastroenterology department or if there's another type of specialist I should consider. Any advice on what this might be and whom I should consult?
