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

Laser piles surgery is minimally invasive with less pain and faster recovery but is generally more expensive. Both are effective; the choice depends on severity and personal preference.

View allI 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

I've been struggling with a fissure for over 20 years now and it's been really tough. I'm considering surgery, but I'm also open to other permanent solutions if there are any. What would you recommend? I'm based in Pune and would love some guidance.
Considering your 20-year history with fissures, surgical intervention might be a viable option; in Pune, you can consult appolo hospitals

I've been dealing with anal fissure pain on and off since late 2019 and have been using Anovate cream with laxatives, plus increasing fiber and fluids. It's really disruptive and painful I want to get rid of it for good. Does surgery work better than these treatments? For now, I'm trying sitz baths and fiber supplements but would like to know if there are better options
While your current approach with Anovate, laxatives, increased fiber and fluids, sitz baths, and fiber supplements is a good starting point, it's understandable that you're seeking more definitive relief after experiencing anal fissures for several years. Surgery, specifically a lateral internal sphincterotomy, is often a highly effective option for chronic or refractory anal fissures, but it's also associated with a small risk of incontinence. If medical treatments haven't been successful, discussing surgical options with your doctor is a valid next step
