9 months ago I had surgery to remove hemorrhoids but now I'm noticing an external hemorrhoid growing again It doesn't hurt but the size keeps increasing My doctor prescribed Smuth cream but it's not helping Is there any way to shrink or get rid of hemorrhoids without another surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable that you're looking for options to manage recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, especially since your current treatment isn't working. While the Smuth cream might offer temporary relief, it's unlikely to shrink the hemorrhoid. Some options to consider without surgery include lifestyle changes, over-the-counter remedies, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.

View allIs surgery always necessary for sentinel piles or can they be treated with oral meds or topical gels? I've heard mixed things and want to know if there are non-surgical options that actually work
Surgery for sentinel piles isn't always necessary. While it may be the best option in some cases, especially for chronic or severe issues, non-surgical treatments like lifestyle modifications, oral medications, and topical gels can often provide effective relief and resolution

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the past 4 months and the pain is really bad though there's no bleeding during stools My doctor suggested laser surgery but I'm wondering if it can heal without surgery What are my options
Yes, anal fissures can often heal without surgery, even if they've been present for several months. Your doctor's suggestion of laser surgery is a valid option, but there are several non-surgical treatments that should be tried first, especially since your fissure has been ongoing for 4 months
