I've seen studies saying traditional piles surgery has better long-term results and fewer recurrences compared to stapling surgery. If that's the case, why do doctors still recommend stapling surgery when traditional surgery is considered the gold standard?

I've been dealing with piles and I'm just 25. What's really concerning me is that I can actually feel something outside coming from inside when I'm washing the anus. It's just right near the opening. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?

If it's already coming outside, medicines will not help.

I had fissure surgery last month but now I'm dealing with anal fistula pus discharge and an abscess. It's been going on for almost 9 months. Is there any homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine that can fully treat this? I'm based in Mumbai and looking for options.
