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've been dealing with a fistula for years now and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any permanent cure without going under the knife? The pain is constant, there's pus discharge, and the itching in that area is really bothering me. What can I do to treat this naturally?

Chronic fistula with pus and itching usually requires surgery for permanent cure.Natural or non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief but often fail to close the tract completely.

I've had anal pain for the past two months and noticed a tear when I checked in the mirror some people said it might be an anal fissure. Three days ago, I saw a general surgeon but he didn't examine the area and just gave me pain meds for five days along with diet advice. I've been following the diet for a month and taking the meds for three days, but the pain hasn't stopped. How long does it usually take for this to heal, and is surgery the only option or can it be fixed with diet like fruits and veggies? Why hasn't it gotten better yet?

Anal fissures typically heal within 6-8 weeks with conservative treatment, and diet plays a significant role in this process. If the pain persists beyond this timeframe, it may indicate a chronic fissure that requires more aggressive treatment.
