I've been dealing with really bad piles and heard thuthi leaf might help but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old is it safe to take? I don't want surgery, what else can I try for relief?

Thuthi leaf lacks safety data in breastfeeding. Try stool softeners, high-fiber diet, and topical creams. Sitz baths can provide good relief without surgery.

Question

My husband had laser surgery for grade 1 piles and a fissure two months ago but still bleeds around 10-15 drops with brown discharge every time he passes stool. He doesn't have constipation and never bled before the surgery. His stool test shows pus cells, occult blood, and RBCs. Should we be concerned about this?
