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

View allI've been dealing with a recurring fistula or abscess for the past two years it goes away for a few months but keeps coming back. I really don't want surgery, and while a recent round of antibiotics during dental treatment cleared it up temporarily, the issue returned. What could be causing this cycle, and are there other treatment options besides surgery?

Can piles at stage 3 be cured without surgery? I'm looking for ways to heal faster and need advice on medicines that can help manage symptoms better
While surgery is often recommended for stage 3 piles, it's not always the only solution. Non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or electrotherapy can be effective, especially for internal hemorrhoids. These procedures work by reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. Additionally, addressing the underlying cause of the piles, such as constipation, with lifestyle changes like a high-fiber diet and adequate hydration, can help manage symptoms and prevent further progression

my dad had surgery for hemorrhoids in chennai yesterday but some tissue is still visible outside the doctor says it's external hemorrhoids and will shrink on its own in a week is this normal or should we be concerned about the remaining tissue
Yes, it's generally normal for some tissue to be visible after hemorrhoid surgery, and the doctor's expectation for it to shrink on its own within a week is a reasonable timeframe. This swelling and potential skin tag are common after the surgery, and the body's reaction to the incisions made
