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 laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure
Laser surgery for piles is generally considered effective and can provide long-term relief, but it's not a guaranteed permanent fix. While recurrence rates are lower with laser surgery compared to traditional approaches, hemorrhoids can still return, especially if underlying causes aren't addressed and healthy habits aren't maintained

I've had an external hemorrhoid for about a month now no pain or bleeding, but it's not getting better either. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery. Any advice on how to help it heal naturally?
To naturally manage an external hemorrhoid that isn't causing pain or bleeding, focus on improving bowel habits. Increase fiber intake, stay hydrated, and avoid straining during bowel movements. Topical treatments like over-the-counter creams, ointments, or suppositories can also help relieve discomfort, swelling, and itching. Warm baths or sitz baths can also provide relief.
