Is it normal to masturbate after having an anal fistula surgery? I'm kinda worried if it might interfere with my healing. It's been around 1.5 months since my operation and the wound isn't fully healed yet.

Masturbation after an anal fistula operation should be approached with caution, especially if the wound is not fully healed. Engaging in activities that put pressure on the area could delay healing or cause discomfort. Its best to consult with your doctor for personalized advice based on your recovery progress.

I'm dealing with this boil near my anus, and I think it might be from a hair breaking. It's really painful and makes it hard for me to walk, sit, or even use the bathroom comfortably. Can you suggest any remedies to get rid of it for good? I'm hoping for something that can help permanently.
