I've been diagnosed with piles and have three hemorrhoids plus a fissure. My doctor recommended laser surgery but I'm worried about it coming back is surgery really necessary or can they shrink on their own over time?

While some hemorrhoids might shrink on their own, having three hemorrhoids plus a fissure often requires more than just self-care. Laser surgery can be an effective treatment option, but there's always a risk of recurrence, which is why understanding your individual situation and discussing it with your doctor is crucial. The Clinic at Beverly Hills explains that while laser surgery is effective, there's still a possibility of recurrence

Question

I've been dealing with piles that have gotten pretty long and keep coming out of my anus - can this be treated with medications or do I definitely need surgery

I'm just wondering if it's okay for someone who recently had an open surgery for piles to eat foods cooked in mustard oil. Also, what are the foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and drinks she should avoid after this surgery? Any home remedies that could help her with the recovery? And is there a way to treat piles permanently without having to go through surgery again?

Question

I've been having this pain around my anus for the last couple of days, and when I went to see the doctor yesterday, she mentioned it was the beginning stage of piles. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you give me some advice on how to manage this or what steps I should take?
