I've been diagnosed with a fistula and I'm really confused about the best way to treat it should I consider surgery or try Ayurvedic treatments first? I'm worried about the recovery process and which option would be more effective long-term. What would you recommend based on the severity and type of fistula?

I've been having severe pain in my anus and was told it's a fistula and fissure. The pain was so bad that there was blood with my stool for four days, but after some treatment, the pain eased up. Now I'm noticing pus keeps coming out regularly. I'm really confused about whether this can heal with medicine or if surgery is the only option. What would be the best treatment for this?

Fat reduction surgeries like liposuction carry risks like contour irregularities and anesthesia complications; cost varies but non-surgical options like cryolipolysis exist.

I'm having a tough time dealing with pain after using the washroom for about a month now. I saw my GP, and he diagnosed me with a fissure and gave me some meds like CiploxTzH and Rinifol, plus Smuth Laxative and Anovate cream. A week later, the pain was a bit better, but I got worried and went to see a surgeon. He said I've got a fissure and two Grade III piles, with a lump outside the anus, and suggested surgery. Surgery freaks me out, so I got a second opinion from another surgeon. He also mentioned surgery but said it's not too urgent unless things get worse. He gave me 2Dilgel for the fissure. But when I use it, there's this terrible burning sensation around the lump. He said it should get better in 2-3 days. Is 2Dilgel really good for both fissures and piles? Also, is it okay to use coconut oil internally for fissures? What should be my next steps?

yes u can take 2.. dilgel .

I've been dealing with piles for about 4 years now most days it's manageable but sometimes the pain gets really bad. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the flare-ups?

High-fiber diet, hydration, and Sitz baths may reduce pile symptoms—surgery is only needed if conservative methods fail.
