I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

For piles problem, you should consult a Proctologist or a Colorectal Surgeon. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus. They can provide you with the appropriate treatment plan, which may include medications such as Daflon (500mg) and topical creams, as well as procedures like rubber band ligation or surgical intervention if necessary.

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

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.

I think I might have piles in the early stages and I'm wondering if laser surgery is the right option for me at this point or if there are other treatments I should consider first

For mild or early-stage piles, non-surgical treatments are usually recommended first, and laser surgery might be considered later if those don't work or if the piles are more severe. Laser treatment offers advantages like minimal pain and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
