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 a 23-year-old boy dealing with external hemorrhoids for the past 25 to 30 days, and the pain is really bad. There's no bleeding, but it's been a struggle. I've already tried some home remedies and SUCRAL ANO cream, but I haven't gotten any relief. What can I do next?

I've noticed this small, soft, pea-sized lump near my anal area for the past few years. It doesn't hurt, nor does it bleed or cause any irritation. Should I be worried about it, or is it something normal?

It is possible that the lump you are experiencing could be a skin tag or a hemorrhoid. However, without a physical examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or irritation, it may not be a cause for concern. If you are still worried about it, you can try using over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams like Preparation H or Tucks to see if there is any improvement. However, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and advice.
