I've been dealing with really bad bleeding from piles since giving birth, and I'm currently breastfeeding my 3-month-old. Can I safely use factu ointment, along with magnesium sulphate powder and glycerin? What else can I do to stop the bleeding?

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.

My mom has grade 4 piles with both internal and external hemorrhoids that stay outside all the time. She bleeds a lot and has severe pain during bowel movements. The doctor recommended laser surgery in 3 sessions can this be treated with meds instead or is surgery the only option? Also, is it possible to do it in just one session?
