I've been diagnosed with an anal fissure and just got my report. Is surgery the only way to fix this or can it be treated with medication? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife if there are other options.

The majority of anal fissures do not require surgery. The most common treatment for an acute anal fissure consists of making one's stool more consistent with a diet high in fiber as well as utilizing over-the-counter fiber supplementation (totaling 25-35 grams of fiber/day).

Can I eat mangoes before going to bed? How long should I wait after eating one? I'm a bit worried it might cause some digestive issues.
You can eat mango at night in moderation, but it's best to have it at least 1-2 hours before bed to give your body time to digest. Eating too close to bedtime might cause discomfort or indigestion for some people, especially if they have a sensitive stomach.
