My husband has been dealing with an anal issue for about 35 days now. He's really uncomfortable whether he's walking or sitting, and there are three lumps near his anus. We're living in different cities because of work so I'm worried. He says it's painful and that he's having regular bowel movements. He's also feeling a bit feverish and can't really concentrate at work. He's been doing warm compresses with Betadine twice a day, but since yesterday it's not helping either. What could be going on, and how can we help him feel better?

Immediate action required:
- Wash the wound with soap and water.
- Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage.
- Seek medical attention within 24 hours for a tetanus shot and rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
- Monitor your dog's behavior and health for the next 10 days.
- Consult your veterinarian about vaccinating your dog as soon as possible.
Precaution: Rabies risk is higher if your dog isn't vaccinated.

View allI've been having a lot of swelling and really bad pain in my perineum and one side of my anus. I can feel this firm lump near the anus opening and the whole perineum area is super swollen and firm too. It's incredibly painful and sometimes I get the chills and a fever from all the pain. I've been taking paracetamol to help a bit, but the pain just keeps coming back when it wears off. It's been like this for three days now, and it's just getting worse. I tried sitting in hot water and it gives some temporary relief, but I'm worried. What could this be and how do I treat it?
Your symptoms, including severe pain, swelling, and a firm lump in the anal region, perineal swelling, chills, fever, and temporary relief with hot sitz baths and paracetamol, suggest a possible perianal abscess or anal fistula consult general surgeon

I've had an external hemorrhoid for about a month now no pain or bleeding, but it's not getting better either. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery. Any advice on how to help it heal naturally?
To naturally manage an external hemorrhoid that isn't causing pain or bleeding, focus on improving bowel habits. Increase fiber intake, stay hydrated, and avoid straining during bowel movements. Topical treatments like over-the-counter creams, ointments, or suppositories can also help relieve discomfort, swelling, and itching. Warm baths or sitz baths can also provide relief.
