I've had an outgrowth near my anus for the past 3 years that causes itching. I also have constant gas and acidity issues my stomach always feels full of gas. The gas puts pressure on my heart, and I have to strain during bowel movements. I had a VSD heart surgery back in 1999. Is surgery an option for the anal outgrowth since I'm not on any medications right now?

I've been dealing with piles and I'm just 25. What's really concerning me is that I can actually feel something outside coming from inside when I'm washing the anus. It's just right near the opening. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?

If it's already coming outside, medicines will not help.

I'm really worried about the side effects of surgery for an anal fissure. Homeopathy says it can be cured with just medicines, but I still have this thick skin layer outside my anus from a chronic fissure that's causing trouble. They strongly advise against surgery, but I'm not sure what to do. Is surgery really risky? What are the possible side effects? I'm scared to go through with it but the discomfort is getting hard to handle.

side-effects include pain,bleeding,infection and headache.

I'm dealing with a lump near my anus that's been there for two days now. It's starting to get a bit smaller, but I'm still not feeling back to normal. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an anal lump, which could be due to various causes like hemorrhoids, an abscess, or even a small infection. Since it's improving but not fully gone, its important to keep the area clean and consider seeing a healthcare provider if it persists or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions.
