I've been dealing with piles and fissures for about a year now and medicines haven't helped much. I'm 25 and really worried should I consider surgery at this point? What would you recommend for my situation?

I can understand your concern. Surgery is the better option.,it won't shrink on its own. You can use pilex ointment for local application.

Which type of anesthesia is used for laser fissure surgery general or local? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect in terms of pain and recovery

Laser surgery for anal fissures typically uses local anesthesia. This means the area around the anus is numbed, and you can remain awake during the procedure. General anesthesia might be considered in some cases, like complex situations or if you're anxious. Laser surgery is generally less painful than traditional surgery and offers a faster recovery
