some doctors recommend postponing laser surgery for piles and fistula until after delivery, others find it safe during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. Laser surgery is generally considered safer than traditional surgery during pregnancy due to its lower risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications. However, it's crucial to consult with a specialist to determine the best course of action, considering the severity of the condition and the individual's medical history
