I'm dealing with a bad case of piles for about a week now, and it hasn't improved. I'm not dealing with any other medical issues at the moment. What would you suggest I do next?

Leg Pain Due to Cold Air Exposure _Possible Causes_ 1. _Cold-induced vasospasm_: Exposure to cold air from fans or ACs can cause blood vessels in your legs to constrict, leading to pain. 2. _Muscle cramps_: Cold air can also cause muscle cramps, especially in the legs. 3. _Poor circulation_: Reduced blood flow to the legs can contribute to pain, especially in cold environments. _Self-Care Measures_ 1. _Avoid direct exposure_: Try to avoid sitting directly under fans or ACs. 2. _Dress warmly_: Wear warm clothing, especially on your legs, when in cold environments. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to maintain blood flow and circulation. 4. _Stretch and move_: Regularly stretch and move your legs to improve circulation. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain_: If pain is unbearable or worsens over time. 2. _Persistent pain_: If pain persists or recurs frequently. 3. _Other symptoms_: If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs

My mom has grade 4 piles with both internal and external hemorrhoids that stay outside all the time. She bleeds a lot and has severe pain during bowel movements. The doctor recommended laser surgery in 3 sessions can this be treated with meds instead or is surgery the only option? Also, is it possible to do it in just one session?
