I've had painful anal fissures and piles for the last six months and it's really bothering me. Can you suggest some treatment options that don't involve surgery? I'm worried about the discomfort and want to know what else might help.

Anal fissures often heal within a few weeks with appropriate home treatment. Take steps to keep the stool soft, such as increasing your intake of fiber and fluids. Soak in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day, especially after bowel movements. This can help relax the sphincter and promote healing

View allI've been dealing with anal fissures for about 8 months now and I'm really nervous about surgery. Can you suggest some food habits or lifestyle changes that might help? Also, what are my other options if I want to avoid surgery?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I had an ultrasound 5 years ago that showed two small gallstones in my gallbladder. Now I've had another ultrasound because I've been having trouble digesting food, and it says my gallbladder is collapsed. I never had surgery to remove it, so why would it show up as collapsed? What does this mean for my digestion issues?
A contracted or collapsed gallbladder, even without a prior surgical removal, can be caused by various factors, including chronic inflammation, gallstones, or the inability of the gallbladder to contract and release bile. While the ultrasound finding might suggest a gallbladder issue, it's essential to correlate it with your digestive symptoms and other diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause and its impact on your digestion

My mom has multiple gallstones with the biggest one at 15mm but she's scared of surgery and doesn't want her gallbladder removed She also has high sugar levels at 272 before food and a 43cm cyst The doctor gave her four medicines Ulyses 300 Qtil 500 chymoral forte and cap happi d Should we go ahead with surgery or try homeopathy or ayurveda instead
Given the large gallstone (15mm), symptoms, and high blood sugar, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is generally recommended for your mother. While homeopathy and Ayurveda can offer complementary therapies, they are not a replacement for conventional medical treatment.
