Hello
I understand—you have multiple soft lumps around the anus, increased slippery discharge, and air getting trapped. The fissure has healed but the discharge has worsened. Let me clarify a few things.
Important questions:
1. The soft lumps around the anus:
- Are they painful, or just uncomfortable?
- Do they itch?
- What color are they—red, skin-colored, or purple?
- Do they bleed when you wipe or pass stool?
2. The slippery substance:
- What color is it—clear, white, yellow, or brownish?
- Does it have an odor?
- Is it constant throughout the day, or only at certain times?
3. Air getting trapped:
- Does it cause pain, or just discomfort/embarrassment?
- Does it come out on its own, or do you have to push?
4. Your bowel movements:
- Do you have constipation, or are they normal?
- Any blood or mucus in stool?
- Any urgency or incomplete evacuation feeling?
5. Have you seen an allopathic doctor (not homeopathy) for this? A proper examination is needed to diagnose what these lumps are—they could be hemorrhoids, skin tags, or something else.
These symptoms need proper medical evaluation, not just homeopathy.
The most likely possibilities are:
1️⃣ Hemorrhoids (Piles)
Swollen veins around the anus can feel:
Soft or sponge-like
Like small lumps
Sometimes associated with mucus discharge
Can cause a feeling of incomplete emptying or trapped air
They may remain even after a fissure heals.
2️⃣ External skin tags
After a fissure heals, it can leave:
Extra soft skin folds around the anus
Usually painless
May trap moisture or mucus
3️⃣ Rectal mucosal prolapse (early stage)
If there is:
Excess mucus
Feeling of air or something stuck
Soft tissue protruding
This needs proper medical evaluation.
⚠️ Important: See a Doctor
You should now consult:
A General Surgeon, or
A Colorectal specialist (Proctologist)
They may do:
Physical examination
Possibly anoscopy (simple small scope exam)
This is much more effective than continuing homeopathy.

There are many lumps around the anus which look soft like a sponge. When air enters the anus, it gets stuck in the anus. Earlier it used to happen every 2-1 days but now it is happening all the time. Oh, there was an anal fissure, there was a crack, now it is gone and it does not hurt, but the slippery substance has increased. I have taken many homeopathy before but it does not work, what should I do now?

I’m glad you asked. Based on what you’re describing, this sounds like a medical condition that needs proper examination by a doctor, especially since it’s now happening all the time.
From your symptoms:
Soft, sponge-like lumps around the anus
Air getting trapped
Increased slippery discharge (mucus)
History of anal fissure (now healed)
Homeopathy not helping

What You Can Do Now (Until You See a Doctor)
✅ Improve bowel habits
Drink 2.5–3 liters of water daily
Eat high-fiber foods (vegetables, fruits, oats)
Avoid straining during stool
Do not sit long on the toilet
✅ Sitz bath
Sit in warm water for 10–15 minutes, 2 times daily
Helps reduce swelling and irritation

Frequent wiping with dry tissue (use water)
Applying random creams without diagnosis
