I have both internal and external hemorrhoids but no pain or itching yet One doctor recommended surgery for a permanent fix Should I get surgery right away and if so which method is best hemorrhoidectomy stapled hemorrhoidectomy PPH rubber band ligation or lateral internal sphincterotomy Or should I stick with meds for now

While having both internal and external hemorrhoids can be a concern, the presence of pain and/or itching may not always necessitate immediate surgery. A doctor's recommendation for surgery, especially a permanent fix, should be discussed thoroughly considering the severity of symptoms and the potential benefits and risks of different surgical options. If you are experiencing no pain or itching, and hemorrhoids are relatively small, non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy may be considered first. Surgical options like hemorrhoidectomy, stapled hemorrhoidectomy (PPH), or lateral internal sphincterotomy are usually reserved for more severe cases or when other treatments have failed

View allI recently noticed this hard lump around my rectum, and its got me really worried. I've heard about Anovate hemorroid cream and was wondering how effective it is in dealing with this kind of issue? Also, how should I use it to get the best results? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Anovate cream will help in reducing pain, itching, and inflammation associated with hemorrhoids. It will also help in shrinking the swollen tissues. However, if you feel a hard flesh over your rectum, it is important to have a proper examination by a doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions. Remember to maintain good hygiene, eat a high-fiber diet, and drink plenty of water to help with your condition.

I've had an anal fissure with a sentinel tag since December 2018. It improves with treatment but flares up again as soon as I stop meds. Doctors say surgery is the only fix, but I really want to avoid that. Are there any other options that could help long-term without needing an operation?
surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
