Just found out I have piles in the early stages and the surgeon said surgery isn't needed right now. Can early-stage piles be treated with medicines? Which type works best allopathic, ayurvedic, homeopathic, or unani? Would love some advice on what to try first.

Yes, early-stage piles can often be effectively treated with medications and home remedies before resorting to surgery. Your surgeon's recommendation to delay surgery is likely because early-stage piles (Grade 1 and 2) can often be managed with non-surgical options

It's been about 2.5 months since my laser piles surgery, but the swollen veins near my anus haven't fully gone down yet. My doctor says everything's fine, but I'm still worried should I be concerned? Is this normal healing time?

It may take time to subside completely, do continue sitz bath 3 times daily and visit once to surgeon for further management

I'm a bit worried because I noticed a small lump near my anus. It's not bleeding, but it does cause a lot of itching. I'm not sure if it's piles or something else. Can you recommend any ointment or treatment that might help?

-It sounds like it could be an external hemorrhoid or irritation. For itchiness and discomfort, you can try applying an over-the-counter ointment like Anusol or Preparation H. If the lump persists or worsens, it's best to consult a doctor to confirm if it

I've been dealing with a small, pea-sized skin tag near my anus, and it's really painful when I pass stools. Sometimes, it even bleeds. I've tried eating bananas to soften the stools, but it doesn't seem to help. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to alleviate the pain and bleeding?
