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 allIs it possible for a fistula to come back just 20 days after surgery? I noticed a small pimple-like bump near the surgical wound and I'm worried it might be recurring
Unfortunately, despite proper treatment and complete healing, an abscess or a fistula can come back. If an abscess comes back, it suggests that perhaps there is a fistula that needs to be treated. If a fistula comes back, additional surgery will likely be required to treat the problem.

What treatments work best for piles and can they be cured without surgery
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the anus and rectum that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. While not always cured without surgery, several nonsurgical treatments can effectively manage symptoms and reduce the size of piles. These include dietary changes, topical treatments, and medical procedures like rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy. Surgery is often reserved for severe cases or when nonsurgical treatments are not effective
