I was recently diagnosed with moderate rectal prolapse after an MR scan, and my doctor said surgery isn't needed right now. What Ayurvedic treatments or medicines could help improve this condition? Are there specific remedies or lifestyle changes that might help manage or reverse it?

I've been diagnosed with rectal prolapse and my doctor mentioned two surgery options STARR and laparoscopic rectopexy. What's the difference between them, and which one is usually better? Also, what kind of risks or complications should I be aware of with each procedure?

Adults with rectal prolapse need surgery to put rectal tissue that slips into their anus back where it belongs. Rectal prolapse surgery (rectopexy) may take place through your abdomen or perineum (a perineal rectosigmoidectomy).

I've been dealing with piles and a fistula for a few days now and it's really painful. There's trouble passing stool and sometimes blood comes out too. I'm not sure what to do is there any way to treat this permanently without surgery? The pain is getting hard to handle.

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
