I've been taking stool softeners for 11 months since delivering my baby last December and now I'm on homeopathic treatment for my fissure - should I stop the softeners? The pain is really bad and I'm wondering if laser surgery would be better since it hurts so much

I've been having this pain around my anus for the last couple of days, and when I went to see the doctor yesterday, she mentioned it was the beginning stage of piles. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you give me some advice on how to manage this or what steps I should take?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of piles (hemorrhoids). To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area up to 4 times a day, especially after bowel movements. Additionally, you can take a stool softener like Colace to help make bowel movements more comfortable. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation, which can worsen hemorrhoid symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
