I'm really worried about my piles. It's been 23 years since they first showed up, and lately, I've been having a lot of pain and irritation during and after going to the bathroom. It's so bad that I cant even stand properly for about 5 minutes, and it takes about 2 hours for the pain to go away. I've cut down on oily and spicy foods and drink plenty of water, but nothing seems to help. I tried Dobesil for a month, and it worked for a while, but then after about 3-4 months, the problem came back. I really need to know if theres a way to treat this with medicine at this stage, or maybe through homeopathy? Is it possible to manage or cure this completely?

Sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids (piles). To help manage the pain and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H or Anusol. These medications help reduce inflammation, pain, and itching. You can also try sitz baths and keeping the anal area clean to help alleviate symptoms. For a more long-term solution, you may need to consult with a doctor to discuss prescription medications or procedures such as rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy.

Piles, or hemorrhoids, may require surgery (hemorrhoidectomy) if less invasive treatments fail or if severe symptoms are present, such as prolapsed hemorrhoids, persistent bleeding, or significant pain. Surgery is generally recommended for severe cases or when other treatments have not been successful.

I've been dealing with complete rectal prolapse for over 10 years since I was young and now I'm 19. I'm scheduled for TRRPCS surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me especially since I want to join the defense forces. Are there better surgical alternatives I should consider that would fit my active career goals?
TRRPCS is a good option for young patients with prolapse; however, rectopexy or laparoscopic procedures may offer better durability for physically demanding careers.

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.
