I'm considering laser surgery for piles but not sure if medicines alone can cure it How long does the laser treatment usually take and is it better than other options
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Laser surgery for piles can be an effective option, offering a relatively quick procedure and recovery time. While medicines may help manage symptoms, they don't always cure the underlying condition, and laser surgery can provide a more definitive solution for larger or persistent piles. Laser treatment typically takes around 30-45 minutes, and recovery is usually faster than traditional surgery.

View allI've been dealing with an anal fissure for the last three months, and in the past month, I've been using Smuth ointment after sitz baths and taking Cremaffin Plus at night. It seemed like things were getting better, with about 90% healed, but today I passed a hard stool and the tear happened again in the exact same spot. It's like history repeating itself, as it happened before in another direction but still in the same area. I'm really worried and wondering why this keeps occurring. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing recurrent anal fissures despite the initial healing. To help prevent further tearing and promote healing, you can try using Anovate cream after each bowel movement and continue with sitz baths. Additionally, you can take a stool softener like Duphalac to prevent hard stools and reduce straining during bowel movements. Make sure to stay hydrated and include fiber-rich foods in your diet to help with bowel movements. If the issue persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

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
