Question 1

I'm dealing with what looks like grade 2 piles do I need surgery or will it go away on its own? Right now I'm taking Himalaya Pilex 2 tablets twice a day and using the ointment too. Is that enough treatment? How long until it heals? I've attached a photo of the swelling for reference.

Accepted Answer

conservative therapy is advised to the patient.

Question 2

My husband has had this round lump near his anus for a few months now. Sometimes it's really painful, and other times it's not bothering him at all. Should we be concerned about this? What type of doctor would be best to consult for something like this?

Accepted Answer

Ask him to avoid straining for stools, avoid lifting heavy objects and have high fiber diet. And consult a general surgeon

Question 3

I'm 50 and have a small fissure but the pain is unbearable. I've been taking painkillers for 2 days and sitting in hot water but nothing helps. Should I consider surgery at this point and if so, what would the cost be?

Accepted Answer

While surgery for an anal fissure is an option, it's usually not the first course of action, especially for a small fissure. Most fissures heal with conservative treatments like dietary changes and topical medications. If pain is unbearable and persists despite two days of pain medication and sitz baths, it's advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance. The cost of surgery in India can vary, but generally ranges from ‚Çπ35,000 to ‚Çπ50,000

my doctor recommended surgery for external piles but I'm hesitant about going under the knife are there any effective non-surgical treatments I could try first and if surgery ends up being the only option how much would it usually cost

MIGHT TAKE 1-2 WEEKS .
