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

I've been having small internal piles and sometimes struggle to pass stool naturally it feels like I can't apply enough pressure during bowel movements. Is laser treatment necessary for something this minor, and how safe is surgery for internal piles?

For minor internal piles and occasional difficulty passing stool, laser treatment is generally not the first line of treatment. Conservative measures like dietary changes, fiber supplements, and stool softeners often provide relief. While laser treatment is safe and effective for some cases, it's not typically needed for mild symptoms. Surgery for internal piles is also generally safe and effective, but it's typically reserved for more severe cases or when conservative measures fail.
