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.

View allI'm having a lot of pain right at the edge of my anus and lower back, and it's making it really hard to sit or go to the bathroom. I've also noticed some swelling in that area, and it hurts more if I try to stretch the muscle. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and suggest who I should see about this?
Could be an anal fissure or hemorrhoids. For confirmation you will have to consult a specialist. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter ointments like Anusol or Preparation H to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Additionally, taking a stool softener like Colace can help make bowel movements less painful. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to avoid constipation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?
-It seems you have a painful boil, likely an abscess or infected pilonidal cyst. Keep the area clean, avoid pressure, and continue your prescribed medications. If there's no improvement in 2-3 days or if swelling worsens, consult your doctor for further e

I have a small sentinel pile and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, Anovate, and sitz baths. Will this treatment be enough to get rid of it or is surgery absolutely necessary? I'm worried about whether it'll fully heal without an operation.
