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.

I'm dealing with this boil near my anus, and I think it might be from a hair breaking. It's really painful and makes it hard for me to walk, sit, or even use the bathroom comfortably. Can you suggest any remedies to get rid of it for good? I'm hoping for something that can help permanently.

I'm 23 and considering fissure surgery but I'm really nervous about the recovery time for pain to go away after the procedure I've heard some people say surgery made their condition worse is that common or does it usually help

Fissure surgery (sphincterotomy) is generally effective at relieving pain and promoting healing, but there can be some post-operative discomfort and potential complications. While surgery usually improves the condition, it's important to understand that some individuals may experience temporary or lasting issues like incontinence or constipation
