I went to see a doctor who said I have external piles but I haven't had any bleeding or pain for the past year. Before that, there was occasional bleeding but it stopped. If there's no discomfort now, how can I still have piles? The doctor used an instrument to check and confirmed it. What's the best way to handle this can it resolve on its own or do I need surgery? I've attached the prescription for reference. What do you suggest?
It's understandable to be concerned about having piles that don't cause pain or bleeding, but the doctor's diagnosis using an instrument means they are likely present.

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
