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.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the past 4 months and the pain is really bad though there's no bleeding during stools My doctor suggested laser surgery but I'm wondering if it can heal without surgery What are my options

Yes, anal fissures can often heal without surgery, even if they've been present for several months. Your doctor's suggestion of laser surgery is a valid option, but there are several non-surgical treatments that should be tried first, especially since your fissure has been ongoing for 4 months
