I've been having small internal piles and sometimes struggle to pass stool naturally it feels like I can't apply enough pressure during bowel movements. Is laser treatment necessary for something this minor, and how safe is surgery for internal piles?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For minor internal piles and occasional difficulty passing stool, laser treatment is generally not the first line of treatment. Conservative measures like dietary changes, fiber supplements, and stool softeners often provide relief. While laser treatment is safe and effective for some cases, it's not typically needed for mild symptoms. Surgery for internal piles is also generally safe and effective, but it's typically reserved for more severe cases or when conservative measures fail.

View allMy friend has been dealing with hemorrhoids for the past 8 months and the doctor recommended surgery to remove them but he's really scared of going under the knife Is there any other way to treat hemorrhoids without surgery
External hemorrhoids can be treated non-surgically with a variety of methods, including topical creams, sitz baths, ice packs, and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and hydration. Over-the-counter medications containing hydrocortisone or witch hazel can help relieve pain and itching, while warm sitz baths can soothe the area. Applying ice packs can reduce swelling, and a high-fiber diet can help prevent straining during bowel movements

Topical treatments: Imiquimod cream, Podofilox solution, or Sinecatechins ointment 2. Cryotherapy: Freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen 3. Surgical removal: Excision or laser treatment 4. Antiviral medications: Interferon or Cidofovir (in severe cases) Consult a dermatologist or a urologistgynecologist for proper evaluation and treatment. Note: HPV itself cannot be "cured," but the symptoms (genital warts) can be treated.
