I'm dealing with piles for about a month now and I'm kind of worried. I'm wondering, do smoking and drinking make the pain worse when I go to the bathroom, or do they have any bad effects on my piles? Also, I'm currently using Anovate cream. Is that a good choice? I haven't seen a doctor about this yet.

Smoking and drinking can indeed worsen the symptoms of piles. They can cause irritation to the digestive system and lead to increased pain during bowel movements. It is advisable to avoid smoking and drinking to help alleviate the pain associated with piles. Regarding the Anovate cream, it is a good choice for treating piles. You can apply a small amount of Anovate cream externally around the anal area after cleaning the area thoroughly. It is recommended to use Anovate cream as per the instructions provided on the packaging or as directed by a healthcare professional.

View allI'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
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.
