I've been dealing with thrombosed external hemorrhoids and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there effective home remedies to treat them when they're still at a normal stage? What can I do at home to help them heal faster?

To manage thrombosed external hemorrhoids without resorting to surgery, focus on pain relief and inflammation reduction through home remedies. These include applying ice packs, using topical creams or ointments, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Also, try gentle sitz baths and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and staying hydrated

I've had an outgrowth near my anus for the past 3 years that causes itching. I also have constant gas and acidity issues my stomach always feels full of gas. The gas puts pressure on my heart, and I have to strain during bowel movements. I had a VSD heart surgery back in 1999. Is surgery an option for the anal outgrowth since I'm not on any medications right now?

I've been dealing with a tough perianal abscess situation and had surgery twice for it already. I'm really worried it might come back. Are there any precautions I can take to stop it from recurring? My job involves sitting for nearly 10 hours daily, and although I loved eating non-veg food, I cut it out after my last surgery. I'm a 32-year-old guy. Any advice on what I should do or avoid?

I'm having some pretty bad anal pain that started a couple of days ago, and it came on out of nowhere. I noticed the area is a bit hard on one side, and it's really painful. It's making sitting and doing any tough tasks really difficult. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I can do about it? I'm pretty uncomfortable and could really use some advice.

take rest & drink oral fluids.
