I've been dealing with an anal fistula and finally decided to go for surgery but I'm confused between laser treatment and open surgery. Which one would be better in terms of recovery and long-term results? I've heard mixed opinions and want to make the right choice.

View allI have both internal and external hemorrhoids but no pain or itching yet One doctor recommended surgery for a permanent fix Should I get surgery right away and if so which method is best hemorrhoidectomy stapled hemorrhoidectomy PPH rubber band ligation or lateral internal sphincterotomy Or should I stick with meds for now
While having both internal and external hemorrhoids can be a concern, the presence of pain and/or itching may not always necessitate immediate surgery. A doctor's recommendation for surgery, especially a permanent fix, should be discussed thoroughly considering the severity of symptoms and the potential benefits and risks of different surgical options. If you are experiencing no pain or itching, and hemorrhoids are relatively small, non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy may be considered first. Surgical options like hemorrhoidectomy, stapled hemorrhoidectomy (PPH), or lateral internal sphincterotomy are usually reserved for more severe cases or when other treatments have failed

I'm dealing with this boil near my anus, and I think it might be from a hair breaking. It's really painful and makes it hard for me to walk, sit, or even use the bathroom comfortably. Can you suggest any remedies to get rid of it for good? I'm hoping for something that can help permanently.

fistulectomy is the procedure,surgery opinion is advised.
