I've been dealing with piles and a fissure, and my proctologist recommended laser surgery since it's at grade 2. Is laser surgery usually successful in one go? Also, what medications can I take to manage the pain or discomfort until I can schedule the surgery?

Laser surgery for grade 2 piles is usually effective in one go with fast recovery; pain relief until surgery can be managed with sitz baths, lignocaine gel, and stool softeners.

Question

I'm having a tough time with this burning and itching around my anus, and there's even blood when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a small piece of tissue or something external there, and it's really painful when I pass stool. The discomfort lasts all day, making it hard to sit or walk. After seeing the doctor, they mentioned it looks minor and focused on easing my constipation with some ointment and syrup to soften the stool. That part's a bit better now, but the opening feels too small, and this external pile makes it difficult when I go to the bathroom. I dealt with piles about two years ago, and medication helped within a few weeksit hasn't been an issue until now. I'm really eager to find a permanent solution for this external issue. Any advice on the best approach to tackle this?
