I've had a fissure near my anal area for a while now and there's some mucus-like discharge coming out. What could be the actual issue here? If it's a fissure, can you suggest both regular medicines and ayurvedic treatments? Also, is it possible to heal this completely without needing surgery?

I've been having small internal piles and sometimes struggle to pass stool naturally it feels like I can't apply enough pressure during bowel movements. Is laser treatment necessary for something this minor, and how safe is surgery for internal piles?
