I'm dealing with pretty painful 3rd degree external hemorrhoids. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible, and I'm curious if there are any medicines or treatments that can actually help shrink them?

View allI've been having sharp pain in my anus and it's gotten so bad I can't even sit properly. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about it. On top of that, I've been dealing with constipation and it's messing up my sleep. Is surgery the only option or are there other things I can try first?
kindly share report

I've been dealing with anal fissure pain on and off since late 2019 and have been using Anovate cream with laxatives, plus increasing fiber and fluids. It's really disruptive and painful I want to get rid of it for good. Does surgery work better than these treatments? For now, I'm trying sitz baths and fiber supplements but would like to know if there are better options
While your current approach with Anovate, laxatives, increased fiber and fluids, sitz baths, and fiber supplements is a good starting point, it's understandable that you're seeking more definitive relief after experiencing anal fissures for several years. Surgery, specifically a lateral internal sphincterotomy, is often a highly effective option for chronic or refractory anal fissures, but it's also associated with a small risk of incontinence. If medical treatments haven't been successful, discussing surgical options with your doctor is a valid next step
