I'm dealing with piles, but they haven't been painful at all. My doctor has mentioned surgery as an option, but I'm wondering if I should try medication first. What do you think? Should I consider other treatments before jumping into surgery?

I've been dealing with piles and fissures for about a year now and medicines haven't helped much. I'm 25 and really worried should I consider surgery at this point? What would you recommend for my situation?

I've been dealing with thrombosed piles for about 15 days and also have 1st grade piles. Doctors recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are any medications that could help instead
