I've had an anal fissure at the 6 o'clock position for the last two months and been using laxatives and ointments. There's also some external bulging at 11 o'clock, but my doctor said it's normal due to the fissure and constipation. Will this heal with just medicine or will I eventually need surgery? I'm currently doing ayurvedic treatment too.

I've been diagnosed with rectal prolapse and my doctor mentioned two surgery options STARR and laparoscopic rectopexy. What's the difference between them, and which one is usually better? Also, what kind of risks or complications should I be aware of with each procedure?
