Is laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure

Laser surgery for piles is generally considered effective and can provide long-term relief, but it's not a guaranteed permanent fix. While recurrence rates are lower with laser surgery compared to traditional approaches, hemorrhoids can still return, especially if underlying causes aren't addressed and healthy habits aren't maintained
