Anal fissures after constipation surgery can be a recurring issue, but there are steps you can take to manage them and prevent them from happening again. Focusing on diet, hydration, and good hygiene practices can significantly improve your situation. Additionally, consult with a doctor about potential medical interventions like topical ointments or procedures if necessary

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.
