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 allIts been a couple of days since I've noticed something like a pimple near my anus. It really hurts when I sit, and I figured it might be a pimple because theres some swelling. Do you think it could be something else, and what should I do about the pain? Any advice would be really helpful.
U can use Anovate cream, lignocaine jelly for local application for 2 weeks, sitz bath is also advised, if any side -effects dermat opinion is advised

My laparoscopic surgeon recommended anal dilation sphincter surgery for my chronic hard stool and constipation issues. Can you explain how this procedure works and why it's needed? Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.
Anal dilation and sphincter surgery, also known as Lords' Dilatation or lateral internal sphincterotomy, are procedures aimed at widening the anal sphincter and easing the passage of stool. While they can provide relief, they are often considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed, as they can sometimes affect bowel control
