I'm dealing with piles and my surgeon recommended surgery but I'm really confused about which procedure to choose. Some doctors say laser surgery is the best option while others suggest staple surgery or even traditional surgery. Can you help me understand which one would be most suitable for my condition? I'm worried about making the right decision

It's understandable to feel overwhelmed when choosing a surgical procedure for piles. The best approach depends on your individual condition and preferences. Laser surgery offers a minimally invasive option with benefits like less pain, faster recovery, and reduced bleeding, making it a popular choice. Stapler surgery, or stapled hemorrhoidopexy, is another option that can be effective for certain types of piles, particularly those involving prolapse. Traditional surgery, or open surgery, is still an option, but it generally involves larger incisions and a longer recovery time.

View allIs laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure
Laser surgery for piles is generally considered effective and can provide long-term relief, but it's not a guaranteed permanent fix. While recurrence rates are lower with laser surgery compared to traditional approaches, hemorrhoids can still return, especially if underlying causes aren't addressed and healthy habits aren't maintained

I'm dealing with an anal fissure and I'm on ayurvedic treatment for it. I'm wondering if it's okay to add Nifecaine cream to my routine since my current ayurvedic regimen doesn't include any kind of ointment. What do you think? Is it safe to combine both treatments?
