I've had a chronic anal fissure for the last three months, and it's caused a small skin tag. Can medicine alone completely heal it, or is surgery the only permanent fix? Also, if I skip surgery, could things like constipation or anal sex make the fissure worse later on? Would really appreciate your advice.

I've been feeling like I want to throw up and I'm really weak. I ended up taking Metrogyl 400 in the morning and then again at night. Is that the right thing to do?

I've been diagnosed with Grade 3 internal hemorrhoids by a gastroenterologist who recommended surgery. Before going that route, I'd like to explore non-surgical options like diet and exercise. Is it scientifically possible to manage or treat Grade 3 piles this way? If so, I'd appreciate recommendations for a good dietician in Thane who specializes in this.
