I've had anal pain for the past two months and noticed a tear when I checked in the mirror some people said it might be an anal fissure. Three days ago, I saw a general surgeon but he didn't examine the area and just gave me pain meds for five days along with diet advice. I've been following the diet for a month and taking the meds for three days, but the pain hasn't stopped. How long does it usually take for this to heal, and is surgery the only option or can it be fixed with diet like fruits and veggies? Why hasn't it gotten better yet?

Anal fissures typically heal within 6-8 weeks with conservative treatment, and diet plays a significant role in this process. If the pain persists beyond this timeframe, it may indicate a chronic fissure that requires more aggressive treatment.

View allI have a fissure at 6 o'clock on the left side with a skin tag and now another fissure has developed on the right side. Is there any doctor who performs carbon dioxide laser surgery for chronic fissures?
Yes, many proctologists in metro cities offer CO2 laser for fissure treatment. It causes less pain and faster recovery. Look for laser proctology clinics or colorectal surgeons.

I've been dealing with really bad piles and heard thuthi leaf might help but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old is it safe to take? I don't want surgery, what else can I try for relief?
Thuthi leaf lacks safety data in breastfeeding. Try stool softeners, high-fiber diet, and topical creams. Sitz baths can provide good relief without surgery.

I'm having some pain when I poop, and I've noticed there's a mole or something that has popped up near my butt hole. It's not bleeding, but I'm worried. What could it be? Is this something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like you may have developed a hemorrhoid or a skin tag near the anal area. While it's not uncommon, I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options, especially if the pain persists.
