I went to see a doctor who said I have external piles but I haven't had any bleeding or pain for the past year. Before that, there was occasional bleeding but it stopped. If there's no discomfort now, how can I still have piles? The doctor used an instrument to check and confirmed it. What's the best way to handle this can it resolve on its own or do I need surgery? I've attached the prescription for reference. What do you suggest?

It's understandable to be concerned about having piles that don't cause pain or bleeding, but the doctor's diagnosis using an instrument means they are likely present. External hemorrhoids can resolve on their own, and many cases don't require surgery. However, it's important to follow the doctor's advice and address any underlying issues that may be causing them

View allI have first stage piles and struggle with hard bowel movements. My doctor recommended enlarging the anal canal without operating on the piles. I'm a bit confused is this procedure safe and effective for my condition? What should I expect if I go through with it?
Anal canal dilation can help early piles; it’s a safe, non-surgical outpatient option if properly done.

I noticed a small painful boil near my rectum opening and it's really uncomfortable. I've been constipated for a few days and think that might have caused it. I'm worried it could turn into a fistula but I really want to avoid surgery. Can this be treated with medicines or diet changes at this early stage? How can I manage it before it gets worse?
Physical examination needed for your case. Plz consult a surgeon

What 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
