I've been dealing with a small, pea-sized skin tag near my anus, and it's really painful when I pass stools. Sometimes, it even bleeds. I've tried eating bananas to soften the stools, but it doesn't seem to help. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to alleviate the pain and bleeding?

View allI'm dealing with multiple fistulas and they're really painful. I'm trying to figure out whether laser surgery or fistulotomy would be better in the long run. I've heard fistulotomy can be more of a permanent fix, but I'm really not sure about the laser option. Could you give me some advice on this? And also, how long after surgery until I can sit comfortably and get back to working at the office?
laser surgery is better for fistula

I have both internal and external hemorrhoids but no pain or itching yet One doctor recommended surgery for a permanent fix Should I get surgery right away and if so which method is best hemorrhoidectomy stapled hemorrhoidectomy PPH rubber band ligation or lateral internal sphincterotomy Or should I stick with meds for now
While having both internal and external hemorrhoids can be a concern, the presence of pain and/or itching may not always necessitate immediate surgery. A doctor's recommendation for surgery, especially a permanent fix, should be discussed thoroughly considering the severity of symptoms and the potential benefits and risks of different surgical options. If you are experiencing no pain or itching, and hemorrhoids are relatively small, non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy may be considered first. Surgical options like hemorrhoidectomy, stapled hemorrhoidectomy (PPH), or lateral internal sphincterotomy are usually reserved for more severe cases or when other treatments have failed

I've had thrombosed piles for the past week and the pain is unbearable can't sit or walk properly. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them but I'm worried because I already had hemorrhoid surgery back in 2012. Is another surgery really necessary or are there other options to manage this?
Recurrent thrombosed piles with severe pain may require surgery if conservative treatments fail; a second surgery is possible but alternatives like laser can be considered.
