I've been dealing with fissures for 5 years and seen multiple doctors who say surgery is only needed if it grows bigger. But the pain and itching are constant and really affecting me. I recently saw an ad for laser treatment for fissures and piles could this be a solution for me? Or should I consider homeopathy or ayurveda instead?

Yes, laser surgery can be a good option for anal fissures, particularly for chronic or stubborn cases that don't respond well to conservative treatments. Laser surgery, specifically lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) with a laser, offers a minimally invasive approach with potential benefits like reduced pain, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional LIS.
