I think I might have piles in the early stages and I'm wondering if laser surgery is the right option for me at this point or if there are other treatments I should consider first
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For mild or early-stage piles, non-surgical treatments are usually recommended first, and laser surgery might be considered later if those don't work or if the piles are more severe. Laser treatment offers advantages like minimal pain and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.

View allWhat treatments work best for piles and can they be cured without surgery
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the anus and rectum that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. While not always cured without surgery, several nonsurgical treatments can effectively manage symptoms and reduce the size of piles. These include dietary changes, topical treatments, and medical procedures like rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy. Surgery is often reserved for severe cases or when nonsurgical treatments are not effective

I have anal fistulas that itch but don't hurt and I'm really scared of surgery. Can homeopathy cure them completely and how much would the treatment cost roughly
While homeopathic treatment for anal fistulas can offer some symptom relief, it's crucial to understand that anal fistulas typically require surgery to be completely cured. Homeopathy may help manage symptoms like itching, but it won't eliminate the fistula itself. The cost of homeopathy treatment can vary widely depending on the practitioner, the duration of treatment, and the specific remedies used

I'm having a tough time with this burning and itching around my anus, and there's even blood when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a small piece of tissue or something external there, and it's really painful when I pass stool. The discomfort lasts all day, making it hard to sit or walk. After seeing the doctor, they mentioned it looks minor and focused on easing my constipation with some ointment and syrup to soften the stool. That part's a bit better now, but the opening feels too small, and this external pile makes it difficult when I go to the bathroom. I dealt with piles about two years ago, and medication helped within a few weeksit hasn't been an issue until now. I'm really eager to find a permanent solution for this external issue. Any advice on the best approach to tackle this?
To help with the pain, itching, and burning, you can use Preparation H ointment to reduce inflammation and discomfort. For permanent relief, you may need to consider a surgical procedure called hemorrhoidectomy to remove the external pile. In the meantime, continue using the ointment as directed and maintain soft stools with the syrup provided by your doctor. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
