I've been experiencing some discomfort lately, with pain in my anus that feels worse when I'm sitting or riding my motorbike. I'm also struggling with passing hard stools. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and how I can feel better?

Your TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) level is 5.4.
Normal TSH range: 0.4-4.5 UmL (may vary slightly depending on the lab)
Your TSH level: 5.4 UmL (slightly elevated)
This indicates that your thyroid gland might not be producing enough thyroid hormones (mild hypothyroidism).
Next steps:
- Consult an endocrinologist or your primary care physician.
- Discuss your test results and medical history.
- Determine the best course of action, which may include medication or further testing.
Please consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

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

How long does recovery usually take after anal fissure surgery and are there any non-surgical treatment options that could work instead
Recovery after anal fissure surgery typically takes about six weeks for complete healing, but most patients can resume normal activities, including work, within one to two weeks. Non-surgical options like topical ointments, Botox injections, or blood pressure medications can be effective in some cases and may be tried before surgery.
