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'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.

I've had both external and internal piles for 3 days now with transparent sticky mucus discharge. The lump near my anus stays swollen and hard outside with mild pain and itchiness. Should I consider surgery at this point and how can I stop the mucus discharge?

As a doctor, I’d suggest starting with conservative treatment like high-fiber diet, plenty of fluids, warm sitz baths, and topical creams (like hydrocortisone or lidocaine). The mucus discharge and swelling often improve with these. Surgery isn't usually needed this early unless there’s severe pain, bleeding, or persistent prolapse. Do consult a surgeon if symptoms worsen or don’t improve in a week.

I've had two surgeries for anal fistula but still have two abscesses that keep draining and causing pain in the anal area. Are there any Ayurvedic treatments other than kshar sutra that could help with this?
