Anal sores: Could you be referring to fissures, fistula, abscess? Sexually transmitted disease (syphilis, gc, hiv, etc.) should be considered.

Evaluation is recommended to distinguish serious versus less concerning reasons for your problem as described.

Accepted Answer

Abnormal: If you are talking about stool incontinence that is always abnormal. Would suggest seeing your PCP ASAP.

You need a thorough exam and further recommendations based on findings.

Question 6

anal fissure treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Just 3 words?...: More details would help. For anus problems, one can start with her primary care doctor. The doctor can light up the anal area and get a good exam. Most problems can be resolved there. If not resolved, then anal skin problems can be seen by a dermatologist, and internal problems may need a gastroenterologist, protologist, colorectal surgeon, or general surgeon... depending on the type of problem.

Question 7

what treatment for anal fistula?

Accepted Answer

Start with fiber: Fiber supplements will bulk the stool which can stretch the spastic internal sphincter that is the cause of fissure pan. Sitz baths also sooth the muscle.  The addition of Diltiazem or Nifedipine or Nitroglycerin cream may ALS help. If medical therapy fails the surgery has highest cure rate.

Question 8

what is the treatment for anal cancer?

Accepted Answer

Chemo and radiation: First - anal cancer is different from rectal cancer - this answer is for anal cancer.  Most anal cancers are treated with chemotherapy and radiation.  This works in most cases.  Surgery is reserved for those patients who do not respond to chemo/rad (unusual) and for recurrences.

Question 9

what's the best remedy for anal leakage?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: The best remedy for anal leakage depends on the cause.  There are a number of anorectal problems that could lead to leakage including hemorrhoids and anal sphincter abnormalities.  These are treated differently so i suggest seeing a colorectal surgeon who specializes in treatment of incontinence for a work-up.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Cortisone/ surgery: Definitive treatment for external hemorrhoids is surgical removal but most are not bad enough to deserve that.  Milder cases often respond to short courses of steroid ointment or suppositories.
