I'm 34 and have been told I have piles, but another doctor thinks it might be condyloma. My current doctor says it's external piles and recommends surgery. What should I do? I'm confused about the different opinions and unsure if surgery is the right step

It's understandable to be confused with conflicting diagnoses. Since you've been told both "piles" (hemorrhoids) and "condyloma" (anal warts), and your current doctor suggests surgery, it's crucial to get a second opinion and clarify the diagnosis and treatment options

Question

I went to see a doctor who said I have external piles but I haven't had any bleeding or pain for the past year. Before that, there was occasional bleeding but it stopped. If there's no discomfort now, how can I still have piles? The doctor used an instrument to check and confirmed it. What's the best way to handle this can it resolve on its own or do I need surgery? I've attached the prescription for reference. What do you suggest?
