My sister is dealing with severe piles and we're really confused about the best treatment. Some doctors recommend laser surgery while others advise against it and suggest regular surgery instead. Which option would be safer long-term without causing future problems?

View allhow long does it take to heal an anal fissure with surgery or other treatments i'm really worried about the recovery time and which option works faster
Anal fissure healing time varies, but complete healing can take 6-12 weeks with either medical or surgical treatments. Surgical options like lateral internal sphincterotomy can offer faster healing, potentially allowing some to return to work within a week or two. However, complete healing with surgery still takes about 6 weeks

For piles problem, you should consult a Proctologist or a Colorectal Surgeon. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus.
