I noticed a small bump near my rectum but it's not painful or causing any issues. I had a piles surgery before with Dr Srushti at Navjeevan hospital. What could this be and how can I treat it?

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.

I have grade 1 hemorrhoids and I'm trying to decide between laser and stapler surgery. What are the pros and cons of each option? I'm a bit worried about recovery time and which one might be less painful

For grade 1 hemorrhoids, both laser and stapler surgery are options, but laser surgery is generally favored for its minimally invasive nature, quicker recovery, and potential for less pain. However, staple surgery is often used for grade 4 hemorrhoids. Both options have potential risks, including pain, bleeding, and recurrence
