Is laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Laser surgery for piles is generally considered effective and can provide long-term relief, but it's not a guaranteed permanent fix. While recurrence rates are lower with laser surgery compared to traditional approaches, hemorrhoids can still return, especially if underlying causes aren't addressed and healthy habits aren't maintained

View allI've been experiencing some discomfort recently, especially when I'm sitting for long periods. I noticed a pimple-like bump near my anus, and it hurts when I touch it. I'm worried this might be piles, but I'm not entirely sure. I've read online about self-care options, but I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out if this is piles or something else, and suggest any creams or treatments? I've also attached a picture for reference.
It's generally safe to take cefadroxil and azithromycin together, as they work against different types of bacteria and have different mechanisms of action. However, it's essential to consult your doctor or surgeon before taking both medications, as they may interact or increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor about the azithromycin you've already taken and the remaining doses. They will assess the situation and provide guidance on whether to continue with the azithromycin and cefadroxil concurrently. Follow their instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective treatment. Monitor yourself for any adverse reactions or side effects while taking both medications.

I've noticed a small bump or boil on the outside of my anus that showed up out of nowhere. It's been around for four days and hasn't gotten any smaller. I came across some info online, and it seems like it could be either piles or a hemorrhoid. I'm worried because I'm not sure which it is or what I should do next. Any advice or suggestions would really help.
A small bump or boil on the outside of your anus could be a perianal abscess, a skin tag, or an anal gland infection, rather than piles or hemorrhoids, which typically occur inside the anus, and given that it hasn't reduced in size after four days, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist
