I've been dealing with really bad burning and itching around my anus along with bleeding. It's super painful when I pass stool, and the burning sensation lasts all day. Is it possible to treat piles completely without surgery? Can medications alone fix this for good? What should I do to heal it completely?

Question

I've been dealing with fissures for 5 years and seen multiple doctors who say surgery is only needed if it grows bigger. But the pain and itching are constant and really affecting me. I recently saw an ad for laser treatment for fissures and piles could this be a solution for me? Or should I consider homeopathy or ayurveda instead?

Question

I'm dealing with multiple fistulas and they're really painful. I'm trying to figure out whether laser surgery or fistulotomy would be better in the long run. I've heard fistulotomy can be more of a permanent fix, but I'm really not sure about the laser option. Could you give me some advice on this? And also, how long after surgery until I can sit comfortably and get back to working at the office?
