I went to a general surgeon for constipation and noticed a small flesh near my anus. After a proctoscopy, she said I have grade 1 piles inside and a fissure outside. She suggested laser surgery for both as a permanent solution but I'm unsure if it's necessary since grade 1 piles can often be treated without surgery. Is laser surgery risky or should I consider other options first?

I've been dealing with external and internal hemorrhoids for a year now, and despite being on medication, they're not getting better in fact, they seem to be getting bigger.

Question

I've had anal fissures for about 3 months now and my gastroenterologist recommended sucralfate ointment. But now I feel like there's a muscle-like fissure near my anus and the doctor is suggesting surgery with a one-day hospital stay. Is surgery really the only option here? Are there any other treatments that could work? I've heard about Ayurvedic treatments would those be a better choice for healing this?
