I noticed a small muscle-like bulge near my anal area but there's no bleeding. Could this be piles or an external hemorrhoid? Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A small, muscle-like bulge near the anus without bleeding could be an external hemorrhoid, also known as piles. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that can develop inside or outside the anus and rectum. While often harmless and may resolve on their own, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to rule out other potential causes, especially if you experience pain or bleeding

View allI've been dealing with piles and a fissure, and my proctologist recommended laser surgery since it's at grade 2. Is laser surgery usually successful in one go? Also, what medications can I take to manage the pain or discomfort until I can schedule the surgery?
Laser surgery for grade 2 piles is usually effective in one go with fast recovery; pain relief until surgery can be managed with sitz baths, lignocaine gel, and stool softeners.

I'm considering laser surgery for piles but I'm not sure if it's better than the regular surgery Is it more expensive and does it have any major benefits I'm really confused about whether to go for it or not
Laser piles surgery is minimally invasive with less pain and faster recovery but is generally more expensive. Both are effective; the choice depends on severity and personal preference.
