I've been having a lot of swelling and really bad pain in my perineum and one side of my anus. I can feel this firm lump near the anus opening and the whole perineum area is super swollen and firm too. It's incredibly painful and sometimes I get the chills and a fever from all the pain. I've been taking paracetamol to help a bit, but the pain just keeps coming back when it wears off. It's been like this for three days now, and it's just getting worse. I tried sitting in hot water and it gives some temporary relief, but I'm worried. What could this be and how do I treat it?

Your symptoms, including severe pain, swelling, and a firm lump in the anal region, perineal swelling, chills, fever, and temporary relief with hot sitz baths and paracetamol, suggest a possible perianal abscess or anal fistula consult general surgeon

View allI'm considering laser surgery for piles but not sure if medicines alone can cure it How long does the laser treatment usually take and is it better than other options
Laser surgery for piles can be an effective option, offering a relatively quick procedure and recovery time. While medicines may help manage symptoms, they don't always cure the underlying condition, and laser surgery can provide a more definitive solution for larger or persistent piles. Laser treatment typically takes around 30-45 minutes, and recovery is usually faster than traditional surgery.

I have a small sentinel pile and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, Anovate, and sitz baths. Will this treatment be enough to get rid of it or is surgery absolutely necessary? I'm worried about whether it'll fully heal without an operation.
