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

View allI recently noticed this hard lump around my rectum, and its got me really worried. I've heard about Anovate hemorroid cream and was wondering how effective it is in dealing with this kind of issue? Also, how should I use it to get the best results? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Anovate cream will help in reducing pain, itching, and inflammation associated with hemorrhoids. It will also help in shrinking the swollen tissues. However, if you feel a hard flesh over your rectum, it is important to have a proper examination by a doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions. Remember to maintain good hygiene, eat a high-fiber diet, and drink plenty of water to help with your condition.

I've been dealing with a fissure for the last two months and consulted both a colorectal surgeon and a gastrointestinal surgeon. They said it can be managed with diet changes, but that's only a temporary fix both recommended surgery for a permanent solution, which I don't want to do. Is homeopathy or Ayurveda a good option for long-term relief?
To remove fissures permanently, surgery is generally the most effective option, especially for chronic or non-healing fissures. A procedure called Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) is often performed to relax the anal sphincter muscle and allow the fissure to heal.

My laparoscopic surgeon recommended anal dilation sphincter surgery for my chronic hard stool and constipation issues. Can you explain how this procedure works and why it's needed? Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.
Anal dilation and sphincter surgery, also known as Lords' Dilatation or lateral internal sphincterotomy, are procedures aimed at widening the anal sphincter and easing the passage of stool. While they can provide relief, they are often considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed, as they can sometimes affect bowel control
