I've been having a burning sensation around my anus during bowel movements. A BAMS doctor suggested surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing this issue?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A burning sensation during bowel movements can be caused by several factors, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, infections, or even dietary irritants. While surgery might be an option for certain conditions, there are often non-surgical approaches that can provide relief and address the underlying cause. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, ideally a proctologist or gastroenterologist, to determine the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment.

View allI'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’s 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'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?
-It seems you have a painful boil, likely an abscess or infected pilonidal cyst. Keep the area clean, avoid pressure, and continue your prescribed medications. If there's no improvement in 2-3 days or if swelling worsens, consult your doctor for further e

I'm dealing with piles and my surgeon recommended surgery but I'm really confused about which procedure to choose. Some doctors say laser surgery is the best option while others suggest staple surgery or even traditional surgery. Can you help me understand which one would be most suitable for my condition? I'm worried about making the right decision
It's understandable to feel overwhelmed when choosing a surgical procedure for piles. The best approach depends on your individual condition and preferences. Laser surgery offers a minimally invasive option with benefits like less pain, faster recovery, and reduced bleeding, making it a popular choice. Stapler surgery, or stapled hemorrhoidopexy, is another option that can be effective for certain types of piles, particularly those involving prolapse. Traditional surgery, or open surgery, is still an option, but it generally involves larger incisions and a longer recovery time.
