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

I've been dealing with fissures for 5 years and seen multiple doctors who say surgery is only needed if it grows bigger. But the pain and itching are constant and really affecting me. I recently saw an ad for laser treatment for fissures and piles could this be a solution for me? Or should I consider homeopathy or ayurveda instead?
Yes, laser surgery can be a good option for anal fissures, particularly for chronic or stubborn cases that don't respond well to conservative treatments. Laser surgery, specifically lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) with a laser, offers a minimally invasive approach with potential benefits like reduced pain, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional LIS.
