View allI'm having a tough time with this burning and itching around my anus, and there's even blood when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a small piece of tissue or something external there, and it's really painful when I pass stool. The discomfort lasts all day, making it hard to sit or walk. After seeing the doctor, they mentioned it looks minor and focused on easing my constipation with some ointment and syrup to soften the stool. That part's a bit better now, but the opening feels too small, and this external pile makes it difficult when I go to the bathroom. I dealt with piles about two years ago, and medication helped within a few weeksit hasn't been an issue until now. I'm really eager to find a permanent solution for this external issue. Any advice on the best approach to tackle this?
To help with the pain, itching, and burning, you can use Preparation H ointment to reduce inflammation and discomfort. For permanent relief, you may need to consider a surgical procedure called hemorrhoidectomy to remove the external pile. In the meantime, continue using the ointment as directed and maintain soft stools with the syrup provided by your doctor. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm 34 and have been told I have piles, but another doctor thinks it might be condyloma. My current doctor says it's external piles and recommends surgery. What should I do? I'm confused about the different opinions and unsure if surgery is the right step
It's understandable to be confused with conflicting diagnoses. Since you've been told both "piles" (hemorrhoids) and "condyloma" (anal warts), and your current doctor suggests surgery, it's crucial to get a second opinion and clarify the diagnosis and treatment options

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?
