I've been noticing this itchy lump right at the opening of my anus for over a month now. It's not always itchy, but it's definitely there. I'm trying to figure out what it might be and what kind of doctor I should see about it. Any advice?

The itchy lump at the anus opening could be a hemorrhoid, anal tag, or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis; schedule an appointment with a general surgeon

I'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 thinking about kshar sutra treatment and I'm curious about how much it costs. Also, how many days of rest do I need after undergoing this treatment? And could you tell me where the hospital is located in Bangalore?

The cost of Kshar Sutra treatment can range from 1500 to 2000 per session. As for rest, bed rest is not compulsory, but you may experience some discomfort and slight pain, which can affect your daily activities slightly. Regarding hospitals in Bangalore, you can consider Pranav Ayur Hospitals, which offers Kshar Sutra therapy for anorectal diseases. It's always best to consult with a doctor or the hospital directly for more information on treatment costs, rest requirements, and other details.
