I had laser surgery for grade IV hemorrhoids 20 days ago but there's still some swelling near my anus that feels like a hemorrhoid. Is this normal or should I be concerned? How long does it usually take for the swelling to go away completely after this type of surgery?

Post-hemorrhoid laser swelling at 20 days is common.Swelling usually subsides within 4–6 weeks.If pain or discharge persists,consult your surgeon.

View allI forced a poop the other day and felt something weird come out besides poop. Now there's this disc-like thing next to my butthole with a dark blue or black spot on it. Pooping hurts now, and my underwear keeps getting mucus stains with a strange smell. Should I be worried? Is this something I need to see a doctor for? Are there specialists for this kind of thing, and could it require surgery? It's embarrassing to talk about in person but I'm not sure what to do
It's understandable to be concerned about these symptoms. The disc-like thing and associated discomfort could be due to a rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or other conditions affecting the rectum and anus. Since you're experiencing pain, mucus, and unusual discharge, it's important to consult a doctor, potentially a colorectal specialist, for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Can piles at stage 3 be cured without surgery? I'm looking for ways to heal faster and need advice on medicines that can help manage symptoms better
While surgery is often recommended for stage 3 piles, it's not always the only solution. Non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or electrotherapy can be effective, especially for internal hemorrhoids. These procedures work by reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. Additionally, addressing the underlying cause of the piles, such as constipation, with lifestyle changes like a high-fiber diet and adequate hydration, can help manage symptoms and prevent further progression
