It's been about 2.5 months since my laser piles surgery, but the swollen veins near my anus haven't fully gone down yet. My doctor says everything's fine, but I'm still worried should I be concerned? Is this normal healing time?

It may take time to subside completely, do continue sitz bath 3 times daily and visit once to surgeon for further management

View allI'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.

How long does recovery usually take after anal fissure surgery and are there any non-surgical treatment options that could work instead
Recovery after anal fissure surgery typically takes about six weeks for complete healing, but most patients can resume normal activities, including work, within one to two weeks. Non-surgical options like topical ointments, Botox injections, or blood pressure medications can be effective in some cases and may be tried before surgery.
