I'm dealing with a really painful grape-sized lump on my butt, along with a low-grade fever and headache. I've been using Preparation H, and it offers some relief, but it's temporary. I've never experienced hemorrhoids, so I'm unsure if that's what this is. The veins in my groin area feel sore, and even my taint is affected. I'm hesitant to eat or use the bathroom because every cough sends pain through my entire butt. This started after a cough that I thought was a painful fart, and the pain hasn't stopped, in fact, it's worsened over the past week. Every cough or sneeze now makes me fart. Is this normal and something that'll go away on its own, or should I see a doctor?

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?

For minor internal piles and occasional difficulty passing stool, laser treatment is generally not the first line of treatment. Conservative measures like dietary changes, fiber supplements, and stool softeners often provide relief. While laser treatment is safe and effective for some cases, it's not typically needed for mild symptoms. Surgery for internal piles is also generally safe and effective, but it's typically reserved for more severe cases or when conservative measures fail.
