Yes, it's generally normal for some tissue to be visible after hemorrhoid surgery, and the doctor's expectation for it to shrink on its own within a week is a reasonable timeframe. This swelling and potential skin tag are common after the surgery, and the body's reaction to the incisions made

Question

I'm having a tough time dealing with pain after using the washroom for about a month now. I saw my GP, and he diagnosed me with a fissure and gave me some meds like CiploxTzH and Rinifol, plus Smuth Laxative and Anovate cream. A week later, the pain was a bit better, but I got worried and went to see a surgeon. He said I've got a fissure and two Grade III piles, with a lump outside the anus, and suggested surgery. Surgery freaks me out, so I got a second opinion from another surgeon. He also mentioned surgery but said it's not too urgent unless things get worse. He gave me 2Dilgel for the fissure. But when I use it, there's this terrible burning sensation around the lump. He said it should get better in 2-3 days. Is 2Dilgel really good for both fissures and piles? Also, is it okay to use coconut oil internally for fissures? What should be my next steps?

Question

I have an infected fistula near my butt and my allopathic doctor recommended surgery right away. Is there any way to treat this without surgery using homeopathy? There's no bleeding, just some pain in that area now and then. What would you suggest?
