I've been dealing with what I think is an external thrombosed hemorrhoid for about 5 days now. I noticed some slight bleeding months ago but didn't think much of it. Now it seems bigger and more purple, and while the pain comes and goes, I'm not sure if it's getting better or worse. Should I stick with home treatment or look into seeing someone about surgery or other options?

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?

I've had anal fissures for about 3 months now and my gastroenterologist recommended sucralfate ointment. But now I feel like there's a muscle-like fissure near my anus and the doctor is suggesting surgery with a one-day hospital stay. Is surgery really the only option here? Are there any other treatments that could work? I've heard about Ayurvedic treatments would those be a better choice for healing this?

Fistulectomy is advised,also surgery opinion is advised.
