I'm 22 and have been dealing with external hemorrhoids for over a month now. I've tried controlling my diet and exercising regularly, but whenever I have to go to the bathroom, they pop out, and then they go back on their own after a while. It's really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of them for good? And is this common at my age?

I'm considering laser surgery for piles but I'm not sure if it's better than the regular surgery Is it more expensive and does it have any major benefits I'm really confused about whether to go for it or not
