I've had an anal fissure with a sentinel tag since December 2018. It improves with treatment but flares up again as soon as I stop meds. Doctors say surgery is the only fix, but I really want to avoid that. Are there any other options that could help long-term without needing an operation?

My husband had laser surgery for grade 1 piles and a fissure two months ago but still bleeds around 10-15 drops with brown discharge every time he passes stool. He doesn't have constipation and never bled before the surgery. His stool test shows pus cells, occult blood, and RBCs. Should we be concerned about this?
