I've been dealing with piles and a fissure, and my proctologist recommended laser surgery since it's at grade 2. Is laser surgery usually successful in one go? Also, what medications can I take to manage the pain or discomfort until I can schedule the surgery?
Laser surgery for grade 2 piles is usually effective in one go with fast recovery; pain relief until surgery can be managed with sitz baths, lignocaine gel, and stool softeners.

I've been dealing with this small lump about the size of a pea near my anus for months. After I have a bowel movement, it gets bigger and really painful, and I'm also dealing with constipation. I've seen a couple of doctors, and one said it's an anal abscess and gave me meds, but there's been no change. Another doctor gave me different meds that were supposed to be more effective, but no luck there either. I did some reading online and found information on hemorrhoids, so now I'm not sure if it's an anal abscess or hemorrhoids. I read abscesses can be caused by anal sex, but I've never had anal intercourse. I'm really confused and could use some advice on what this might be. Can you help me figure it out?
If it was abscess, then it should have been investigated further. Many times, abscess require surgical drainage. I would suggest you get it checked out by a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.
