I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the past 4 months and the pain is really bad though there's no bleeding during stools My doctor suggested laser surgery but I'm wondering if it can heal without surgery What are my options

Yes, anal fissures can often heal without surgery, even if they've been present for several months. Your doctor's suggestion of laser surgery is a valid option, but there are several non-surgical treatments that should be tried first, especially since your fissure has been ongoing for 4 months

View allI've been having small internal piles and sometimes struggle to pass stool naturally it feels like I can't apply enough pressure during bowel movements. Is laser treatment necessary for something this minor, and how safe is surgery for internal piles?
For minor internal piles and occasional difficulty passing stool, laser treatment is generally not the first line of treatment. Conservative measures like dietary changes, fiber supplements, and stool softeners often provide relief. While laser treatment is safe and effective for some cases, it's not typically needed for mild symptoms. Surgery for internal piles is also generally safe and effective, but it's typically reserved for more severe cases or when conservative measures fail.

I have a painful swelling near my anus but no bleeding, is surgery the only option or can it be treated another way? Also what foods should I stay away from to help with this?
It could be a perianal abscess or thrombosed pile; sitz baths, pain meds, and dietary changes help—surgery is needed only if it worsens.
