What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Anus?
Question: Hello Doctor,
I have been continuing the massage using coconut oil thrice a day for the last 12 days. For the first time things have started to improve.
Swelling / Hardness has decreased. Pain has also decreased to a large extent.
The only problem which I now have is that I can feel swelling /hardness at a small portion which is cord like.
Please suggest will this swelling /hardness flatten over the period of time if I continue with the massage.

Brief Answer:
Surely yes...
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Surely yes, as the massage has helped you to improve so much in such a short period of time.
The cord like structure is a part of the fibrosed part that has over-matured and hence you are feeling swelling or hardness. This should resolve as per the positive information you have provided.
So please continue with the massage as we discussed.
Please give feedback.

Hello Doctor,
Now the majority of the swelling and hardness has gone. I can only feel a small cord like hardness starting just outside the anus and going a little bit inside.
The problem is when i am massaging the same it is paining. Currently i a massaging thrice a day
Should i discontinue the massage absolutely or decrease the frequency like once a day at bedtime. Should i also decrease the pressure with which i am massaging.
Please can u suggest if this cord like hardness will also go with time or will it remain lifelong.
Thanks & Regards.

Brief Answer:
As discussed in details below.
Detailed Answer:
Nice to know the great progress.
Since the massage is helping please continue twice or trice (as before); only thing reduce the pressure.
The small cordlike structure must be the closed tract hence more fibrosis and may take a long time.
I have a feeling that this is further reduce.
May not stay lifelong in the same stage.
I hope this answer helps you.
