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

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.
