I've noticed a small bump or pimple right at the opening of my anus for the past couple of days, and it's quite painful and uncomfortable. I'm wondering if I need to see someone in the gastroenterology department or if there's another type of specialist I should consider. Any advice on what this might be and whom I should consult?

View allmy father has been dealing with a fissure and tried anovate cream along with antibiotics but still isn't feeling better is surgery the only option left for him
If a fissure persists beyond 6-8 weeks of conservative treatment (like Anovate cream and antibiotics), surgery may be considered. However, it's not always the only option, and a colorectal surgeon can assess the best course of action. Surgery, when necessary, often involves a lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS), which involves cutting a small part of the anal sphincter muscle to release tension and promote healing

I just got a sonogram report showing two tracks in my anal fistula and I'm considering laser surgery how effective is this treatment and what should I expect during recovery
Laser surgery, specifically FiLAC (Fistula-Tract Laser Closure), offers a minimally invasive approach to treating anal fistulas and is generally considered effective, particularly for certain types of fistulas. Success rates vary, but generally range from 60% to 85%, depending on factors like fistula complexity and patient health. Recovery is typically quicker than with traditional surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
