Question 1

I've been dealing with a fissure for the last two months and consulted both a colorectal surgeon and a gastrointestinal surgeon. They said it can be managed with diet changes, but that's only a temporary fix both recommended surgery for a permanent solution, which I don't want to do. Is homeopathy or Ayurveda a good option for long-term relief?

Accepted Answer

To remove fissures permanently, surgery is generally the most effective option, especially for chronic or non-healing fissures. A procedure called Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) is often performed to relax the anal sphincter muscle and allow the fissure to heal.

Question 2

I've been dealing with piles for the past 2 years and it's flared up again. I've seen many doctors, tried sithamaruthuvam, and taken various medicines but nothing has helped long-term. I even had piles surgery, but the problem persists. What else can I do and what kind of medicine should I take to finally get relief?

Accepted Answer

For persistent piles, advanced laser surgery, dietary changes, and medications like flavonoids can help. If you've already had surgery, consider a colorectal surgeon‚Äôs opinion to check for incomplete treatment or another condition like fissures.

Question 3

I'm dealing with a bad case of piles for about a week now, and it hasn't improved. I'm not dealing with any other medical issues at the moment. What would you suggest I do next?

_Self-Care Measures_

1. _Avoid direct exposure_: Try to avoid sitting directly under fans or ACs.
2. _Dress warmly_: Wear warm clothing, especially on your legs, when in cold environments.
3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to maintain blood flow and circulation.
4. _Stretch and move_: Regularly stretch and move your legs to improve circulation.

_When to Seek Medical Attention_

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
