Just found out I have piles in the early stages and the surgeon said surgery isn't needed right now. Can early-stage piles be treated with medicines? Which type works best allopathic, ayurvedic, homeopathic, or unani? Would love some advice on what to try first.

Yes, early-stage piles can often be effectively treated with medications and home remedies before resorting to surgery. Your surgeon's recommendation to delay surgery is likely because early-stage piles (Grade 1 and 2) can often be managed with non-surgical options

I'm 50 and have a small fissure but the pain is unbearable. I've been taking painkillers for 2 days and sitting in hot water but nothing helps. Should I consider surgery at this point and if so, what would the cost be?
