I've had an anal fissure with a sentinel tag since December 2018. It improves with treatment but flares up again as soon as I stop meds. Doctors say surgery is the only fix, but I really want to avoid that. Are there any other options that could help long-term without needing an operation?

View allmy dad noticed a painful lump near his anus and when we checked with a torch, there's a protruding lump on the side of the anus. it's making it hard for him to pass stool since it seems to be partially blocking the opening. could this lump be cancerous or is there a way to treat it without surgery?
It sounds like your dad may have an anal abscess or possibly an external hemorrhoid, both of which can cause a painful lump and difficulty passing stool. While cancer is less common, it’s important he gets a prompt evaluation by a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Treatment often starts with conservative measures like warm sitz baths, pain relief, and stool softeners, but some cases may need minor procedures or surgery. Please advise him to see a healthcare professional soon.

I'm 21 and dealing with external piles. I haven't been able to talk to my family about it because it's embarrassing, and now they're interfering with getting a government job. It's been about 6 months since I've had any symptoms like bleeding, pain, or itching, but the lump around my anal area still isn't going away. I do get constipated now and then. What should I do about this, and how can I get rid of the lumps?
