I've been dealing with complete rectal prolapse for over 10 years since I was young and now I'm 19. I'm scheduled for TRRPCS surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me especially since I want to join the defense forces. Are there better surgical alternatives I should consider that would fit my active career goals?

TRRPCS is a good option for young patients with prolapse; however, rectopexy or laparoscopic procedures may offer better durability for physically demanding careers.

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

I've seen studies saying traditional piles surgery has better long-term results and fewer recurrences compared to stapling surgery. If that's the case, why do doctors still recommend stapling surgery when traditional surgery is considered the gold standard?

I'm really worried about my piles. It's been 23 years since they first showed up, and lately, I've been having a lot of pain and irritation during and after going to the bathroom. It's so bad that I cant even stand properly for about 5 minutes, and it takes about 2 hours for the pain to go away. I've cut down on oily and spicy foods and drink plenty of water, but nothing seems to help. I tried Dobesil for a month, and it worked for a while, but then after about 3-4 months, the problem came back. I really need to know if theres a way to treat this with medicine at this stage, or maybe through homeopathy? Is it possible to manage or cure this completely?

Sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids (piles). To help manage the pain and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H or Anusol. These medications help reduce inflammation, pain, and itching. You can also try sitz baths and keeping the anal area clean to help alleviate symptoms. For a more long-term solution, you may need to consult with a doctor to discuss prescription medications or procedures such as rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy.
