My husband has been having a really bad pain near his anal area. We noticed what seems like a skin tag. It's making it hard for him to sit comfortably and also, it becomes quite problematic during bowel movements. Could it be something more serious, or just a skin tag causing this much trouble? What should we do from here?

Warm Sitz Baths: Soaking in warm water for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and inflammation, especially if hemorrhoids or an anal fissure is the cause. Topical Ointments: Over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams or anal pain relievers (e.g., hydrocortisone or lidocaine) can provide temporary relief. However, these should be used cautiously and not for long periods without consulting a doctor. High-Fiber Diet: To avoid constipation and straining, encourage your husband to consume a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and drink plenty of water. This can help soften stools and reduce pain during bowel movements.

View allI'm really worried about my piles. It's been 23 years since they first showed up, and lately, I've been having a lot of pain and irritation during and after going to the bathroom. It's so bad that I cant even stand properly for about 5 minutes, and it takes about 2 hours for the pain to go away. I've cut down on oily and spicy foods and drink plenty of water, but nothing seems to help. I tried Dobesil for a month, and it worked for a while, but then after about 3-4 months, the problem came back. I really need to know if theres a way to treat this with medicine at this stage, or maybe through homeopathy? Is it possible to manage or cure this completely?
Sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids (piles). To help manage the pain and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H or Anusol. These medications help reduce inflammation, pain, and itching. You can also try sitz baths and keeping the anal area clean to help alleviate symptoms. For a more long-term solution, you may need to consult with a doctor to discuss prescription medications or procedures such as rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy.
