**Rephrased user query:** I've had an anal fissure for two weeks and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, fidonal cream, and sitz baths with betadine. But I'm confused about two things why did he say to avoid non-veg food for a month? How does that affect the fissure? Also, can I just use my finger to apply the cream instead of the applicator? And if I end up needing surgery, how long until I can get back to my normal routine?

Non Veg causes constipation in few induviduals so that might aggravate your fissure symptoms...You can use ur finger too to apply as its designed like that whereas while using your fingers u have ur nails so u feel discomfort...After fissure surgery u can return back to normal in two days

I've been dealing with piles or fistula for the past month with a 12-inch muscle growth near my anus. There's a lot of itching, swelling, and mild pain. I've tried Ayurveda meds and followed a high-fiber diet with fruits, but the pain hasn't gone away. Now I'm using Himalaya Pilex ointment and tablets, but still no relief. I really don't want surgery what else can I do to manage this?

My husband has been having a really bad pain near his anal area. We noticed what seems like a skin tag. It's making it hard for him to sit comfortably and also, it becomes quite problematic during bowel movements. Could it be something more serious, or just a skin tag causing this much trouble? What should we do from here?
Warm Sitz Baths: Soaking in warm water for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and inflammation, especially if hemorrhoids or an anal fissure is the cause. Topical Ointments: Over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams or anal pain relievers (e.g., hydrocortisone or lidocaine) can provide temporary relief. However, these should be used cautiously and not for long periods without consulting a doctor. High-Fiber Diet: To avoid constipation and straining, encourage your husband to consume a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and drink plenty of water. This can help soften stools and reduce pain during bowel movements. Pain Relief: If the pain is severe, he can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to manage the discomfort.
