It's generally recommended to try less invasive treatments like medication before considering surgery for piles, even if your doctor recommended it. If you're not experiencing significant pain or complications, a course of medication might resolve the issue without the need for surgery. However, it's crucial to discuss your concerns and treatment options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
