I have a fistula in ano and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to avoid going under the knife if possible Are there any non-surgical treatments that could work for this condition

Fistula in ano typically requires surgery for complete cure, as non-surgical treatments have a high risk of recurrence or inadequate healing. In some early or low-risk cases, treatments like antibiotics, sitz baths, or fibrin glue may help temporarily, but they rarely offer a permanent solution. It's best to follow your surgeon's advice for long-term relief.

I'm dealing with a lump near my anus that's been there for two days now. It's starting to get a bit smaller, but I'm still not feeling back to normal. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an anal lump, which could be due to various causes like hemorrhoids, an abscess, or even a small infection. Since it's improving but not fully gone, its important to keep the area clean and consider seeing a healthcare provider if it persists or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions.
