I've been dealing with piles for a while now and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about it - is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I could try first

For advanced cases (Grade III and IV) or when non-surgical methods fail, surgical intervention may be the best option. Common surgical procedures include: Hemorrhoidectomy: This involves the complete removal of hemorrhoids and is highly effective for severe cases.

Question

What treatments work best for piles and can they be cured without surgery

I'm really concerned about my situation. I think I might have piles, but I haven't seen a doctor yet. I've been using Anovate for about 78 months, and it used to help with the pain. However, since coming abroad and having to walk a lot, the pain has become unbearable, especially when walking, and now I can feel a bump in my anus. There's also some bleeding when I pass stool. I'm planning to return to India in a week, but the pain is getting too much to handle, and it's hard to walk. I'm using stool softeners, but they're not really helping, and the bump just seems to be getting bigger. Anovate isnt working anymore, and I'm not sure what else I can do until I get back. Can you advise me on how to manage this until I can see a doctor?

Question

Had fissure surgery about 15 days back and still noticing some mucus discharge. Is this normal at this stage of recovery?
