I've been suffering from a fistula for the past two years and tried homeopathy but it hasn't helped. There's still bleeding and white discharge - should I consider surgery or stick with homeopathy? I'm really worried about this ongoing issue.

Question

I've noticed this small bump under the skin near my anus recently. It's about the size of a pea and doesn't really seem discolored. I started feeling it a couple of days ago because it gets uncomfortable when I tighten around there. It doesn't hurt, just kind of feels off. I even took a picture just in case, but I'm not sure what it is. Also, no bloody stool or anything like that. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been reading about rectal prolapse and saw something about contradictions for surgery does that mean surgery isn't an option for a complete prolapse? I'm worried because my symptoms are getting worse and I'm not sure what to do next

Question

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for a year now. At first, the pain wasn't too bad and didn't happen often, but over the last month, it's gotten really bad with constant pain and itching. I've seen 23 doctors and they all say surgery is the way to go. Is there any chance it could be treated without needing an operation?
