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 allI'm really worried because my dad found a lump near his anus. My mom and I took a look with a torch, and it's a bump right on the side. He's been in pain, and it's making it hard for him to go to the bathroom, like it's partially blocking things. I'm wondering, could this lump be cancerous? And if it's not, is there a way to treat it without needing surgery?
It is probably an external hemorrhoid. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, there are various over-the-counter medications available in India such as Smuth cream, Anovate ointment, and Proctosedyl ointment. These medications can help reduce pain, inflammation, and itching associated with hemorrhoids. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can also help manage hemorrhoids. However, if the hemorrhoid does not improve with conservative measures, surgical options such as rubber band ligation or hemorrhoidectomy may be considered. It is best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.

I've got grade 3 and grade 4 piles but they don't hurt, and there's no bleeding when I use the bathroom. However, after I'm done, I have to push the grade 3 piles back in. I'm wondering if there's any medication that can actually cure hemorrhoids. Is that possible?
It will reduce, sometimes surgery also needed.

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
Prolapsed piles that protrude often need surgical treatment;large symptomatic ones rarely resolve fully with conservative care.
