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

You may be experiencing a perianal abscess. I recommend you to see a physician for further evaluation and treatment. You may be prescribed antibiotics such as Augmentin 625mg to help with the infection. In some cases, surgical drainage may be necessary to treat the abscess effectively. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent any complications.

I've got grade 3 and grade 4 piles but they don't hurt, and there's no bleeding when I use the bathroom. However, after I'm done, I have to push the grade 3 piles back in. I'm wondering if there's any medication that can actually cure hemorrhoids. Is that possible?
