I've been dealing with thrombosed external hemorrhoids and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there effective home remedies to treat them when they're still at a normal stage? What can I do at home to help them heal faster?

To manage thrombosed external hemorrhoids without resorting to surgery, focus on pain relief and inflammation reduction through home remedies. These include applying ice packs, using topical creams or ointments, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Also, try gentle sitz baths and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and staying hydrated

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

Every winter I get piles with no bleeding but a lot of burning and they keep coming out often. Should I consider surgery or will medicines work for this?

For recurrent prolapsed hemorrhoids with burning, even without bleeding, you should consult a doctor to determine the best course of action. Surgery is not always necessary, but it might be considered if conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications don't provide relief or if you experience significant complications.
