some doctors recommend postponing laser surgery for piles and fistula until after delivery, others find it safe during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. Laser surgery is generally considered safer than traditional surgery during pregnancy due to its lower risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications. However, it's crucial to consult with a specialist to determine the best course of action, considering the severity of the condition and the individual's medical history

I've been dealing with an anal fistula and finally decided to go for surgery but I'm confused between laser treatment and open surgery. Which one would be better in terms of recovery and long-term results? I've heard mixed opinions and want to make the right choice.

I'm dealing with pretty painful 3rd degree external hemorrhoids. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible, and I'm curious if there are any medicines or treatments that can actually help shrink them?
