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 allHey, I've been dealing with a painful lump right on the outside of my anus for three days now. It's super sore when I touch it, but oddly enough, I don't really notice it when I go to the bathroom or throughout the day. I've been using Proctosedyl Cream, but it hasn't helped so far. Any idea what could be going on or what I should try next?
You should consult a doctor, a general surgeon, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as the painful lump could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, an anal abscess, or another condition requiring medical attention, and they may prescribe a different treatment or perform a minor procedure to relieve your symptoms.

I'm thinking about kshar sutra treatment and I'm curious about how much it costs. Also, how many days of rest do I need after undergoing this treatment? And could you tell me where the hospital is located in Bangalore?
The cost of Kshar Sutra treatment can range from 1500 to 2000 per session. As for rest, bed rest is not compulsory, but you may experience some discomfort and slight pain, which can affect your daily activities slightly. Regarding hospitals in Bangalore, you can consider Pranav Ayur Hospitals, which offers Kshar Sutra therapy for anorectal diseases. It's always best to consult with a doctor or the hospital directly for more information on treatment costs, rest requirements, and other details.

I have a small sentinel pile and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, Anovate, and sitz baths. Will this treatment be enough to get rid of it or is surgery absolutely necessary? I'm worried about whether it'll fully heal without an operation.
Sentinel Piles can be conveniently removed without surgery by Graded Ksharsutra Treatment. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual during treatment
