View allIs laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure

I've had anal pain for the past two months and noticed a tear when I checked in the mirror some people said it might be an anal fissure.

I've been following the diet for a month and taking the meds for three days, but the pain hasn't stopped. How long does it usually take for this to heal, and is surgery the only option or can it be fixed with diet like fruits and veggies? Why hasn't it gotten better yet?
Anal fissures typically heal within 6-8 weeks with conservative treatment, and diet plays a significant role in this process. If the pain persists beyond this timeframe, it may indicate a chronic fissure that requires more aggressive treatment.
