View allCan a Bartholin cyst or abscess develop into an anal fistula? Also, are there any non-surgical treatments for fistula in ano, and what side effects come with surgery for it?
While Bartholin's cysts and abscesses can cause complications like fistulas, they do not directly develop into anal fistulas. Bartholin's cysts and abscesses affect the vulva, while anal fistulas occur in the area around the anus.

I noticed a small muscle-like bulge near my anal area but there's no bleeding. Could this be piles or an external hemorrhoid? Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
A small, muscle-like bulge near the anus without bleeding could be an external hemorrhoid, also known as piles. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that can develop inside or outside the anus and rectum. While often harmless and may resolve on their own, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to rule out other potential causes, especially if you experience pain or bleeding

I've been dealing with complete rectal prolapse for over 10 years since I was young and now I'm 19. I'm scheduled for TRRPCS surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me especially since I want to join the defense forces. Are there better surgical alternatives I should consider that would fit my active career goals?
TRRPCS is a good option for young patients with prolapse; however, rectopexy or laparoscopic procedures may offer better durability for physically demanding careers.
