My wife sometimes bleeds when passing stool and has skin tears on three sides of her anus, making it really painful to sit on a bike or the floor. We've tried everything is surgery the only solution left?

Persistent fissures with multiple tears may need surgery; check with a colorectal surgeon if conservative measures fail.

I've been having sharp pain in my anus and it's gotten so bad I can't even sit properly. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about it. On top of that, I've been dealing with constipation and it's messing up my sleep. Is surgery the only option or are there other things I can try first?

I've had piles without bleeding for 5 years but developed a fistula problem in the last three months. There's also a lump formed with my piles now. The fistula keeps leaking pus - can this heal without surgery?

Anal fistulas, once they develop, generally require surgical intervention for a definitive cure, according to the NHS. While in rare cases, fistulas might close up on their own, they often recur if left untreated, leading to infections and abscesses. Your situation, with a newly developed fistula and pus discharge, strongly suggests a need for surgical treatment, as fistulas rarely heal spontaneously

Had piles laser surgery 2 months back but now having trouble with bowel movements feels like anal stenosis since I strain a lot and need multiple bathroom trips to fully empty. Sometimes there's slight bleeding too. What could be going on?

Fistulectomy is the procedure,surgery opinion is advised for 3rd degree piles.
