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

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.

I have grade 1 hemorrhoids and I'm trying to decide between laser and stapler surgery. What are the pros and cons of each option? I'm a bit worried about recovery time and which one might be less painful
For grade 1 hemorrhoids, both laser and stapler surgery are options, but laser surgery is generally favored for its minimally invasive nature, quicker recovery, and potential for less pain. However, staple surgery is often used for grade 4 hemorrhoids. Both options have potential risks, including pain, bleeding, and recurrence

I'm having some pain when I poop, and I've noticed there's a mole or something that has popped up near my butt hole. It's not bleeding, but I'm worried. What could it be? Is this something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like you may have developed a hemorrhoid or a skin tag near the anal area. While it's not uncommon, I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options, especially if the pain persists.
