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 really worried and wondering if what I'm dealing with is a hemorrhoid. It started itching really badly after I had anal sex without using any lube, and as soon as we were done, I felt uncomfortable. I checked and saw something protruding, so I tried to push it back in, but that didn't seem to help. Now it feels bigger, it itches a lot more, and it's still protruding. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

That could be hemorrhoid,visit your general surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management,donot attempt to scratch it or push it back inside.

I'm kind of worried because it's been a month since I had surgery for my anal fissure. They did both a fissurectomy and lateral internal sphincterotomy, but I'm still seeing blood sometimes when I poop. It seems to happen right at the end, just when I think I'm done. Do you think this bleeding could be related to piles? I'm a bit scared and would love some guidance on what might be going on.

I'm 22 and have been dealing with external hemorrhoids for over a month now. I've tried controlling my diet and exercising regularly, but whenever I have to go to the bathroom, they pop out, and then they go back on their own after a while. It's really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of them for good? And is this common at my age?

Developing external hemorrhoids at 22 is uncommon, but not unheard of; factors like genetics, constipation, poor diet, and inadequate exercise may contribute; to manage and potentially remove hemorrhoids permanently, consider: increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, avoiding prolonged sitting, and practicing good bowel habits;
