I've been dealing with external and internal hemorrhoids for a year now, and despite being on medication, they're not getting better in fact, they seem to be getting bigger. I'm really nervous about surgery but heard about rubber band ligation. Is this treatment available in Hyderabad, and could it be an option for me?

If your hemorrhoids persist or worsen despite treatment, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a doctor, gastroenterologist, or colorectal surgeon. They can determine the severity, confirm the diagnosis, rule out other potential issues, and offer more effective treatment options, which may include office procedures or surgery

I had laser surgery for a fistula and am currently recovering. I've been using lignocaine, but today I noticed a small hump-like bump near my anus that doesn't hurt. What could this be? Will it go away on its own?

Observe for few days. It may go off

Can piles at stage 3 be cured without surgery? I'm looking for ways to heal faster and need advice on medicines that can help manage symptoms better

While surgery is often recommended for stage 3 piles, it's not always the only solution. Non-surgical treatments like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or electrotherapy can be effective, especially for internal hemorrhoids. These procedures work by reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. Additionally, addressing the underlying cause of the piles, such as constipation, with lifestyle changes like a high-fiber diet and adequate hydration, can help manage symptoms and prevent further progression
