I've got fourth-degree piles with really bad bleeding, pain, and itching it's so uncomfortable I can barely sit or walk sometimes. Right now, I'm using diltigesic gel and taking hamamelis mother tincture, but nothing's helping. The pain and bleeding won't stop. Should I consider surgery, or are there other non-surgical treatments that might work better?

With fourth-degree piles, surgical intervention like a hemorrhoidectomy is usually necessary to remove the prolapsed hemorrhoids and address the persistent pain, bleeding, and discomfort. While lifestyle changes and some home remedies can offer temporary relief, they don't address the underlying cause of the prolapse

I've noticed a small bump or boil on the outside of my anus that showed up out of nowhere. It's been around for four days and hasn't gotten any smaller.
