I have first stage piles and struggle with hard bowel movements. My doctor recommended enlarging the anal canal without operating on the piles. I'm a bit confused is this procedure safe and effective for my condition? What should I expect if I go through with it?

Anal canal dilation can help early piles; it’s a safe, non-surgical outpatient option if properly done.

I've been dealing with complete rectal prolapse for over 10 years since I was young and now I'm 19. I'm scheduled for TRRPCS surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me especially since I want to join the defense forces. Are there better surgical alternatives I should consider that would fit my active career goals?
TRRPCS is a good option for young patients with prolapse; however, rectopexy or laparoscopic procedures may offer better durability for physically demanding careers.

I've noticed a soft, painless lump near my anus that's grown bigger over the last few months. Also, I've had a couple of small boils on my scrotum for years now, though they don't bother me. Should I be worried about these? If so, which doctor should I see, and is surgery usually needed for something like this?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
