I've had a fissure near my anal area for a while now and there's some mucus-like discharge coming out. What could be the actual issue here? If it's a fissure, can you suggest both regular medicines and ayurvedic treatments? Also, is it possible to heal this completely without needing surgery?

I've been dealing with an anal fistula and finally decided to go for surgery but I'm confused between laser treatment and open surgery. Which one would be better in terms of recovery and long-term results? I've heard mixed opinions and want to make the right choice.

I'm having a really tough time with piles, and it's creating a lot of pain and discomfort when I'm trying to use the bathroom. Lately, I've also noticed some blood in my stools, which is pretty worrying. Do you think using Anovate cream would help alleviate the situation? I'm really desperate for some relief.

I've been dealing with what I think is an external thrombosed hemorrhoid for about 5 days now. I noticed some slight bleeding months ago but didn't think much of it. Now it seems bigger and more purple, and while the pain comes and goes, I'm not sure if it's getting better or worse. Should I stick with home treatment or look into seeing someone about surgery or other options?

fistulectomy is advised.sx opinion is advised.
