Is surgery always necessary for sentinel piles or can they be treated with oral meds or topical gels? I've heard mixed things and want to know if there are non-surgical options that actually work

Surgery for sentinel piles isn't always necessary. While it may be the best option in some cases, especially for chronic or severe issues, non-surgical treatments like lifestyle modifications, oral medications, and topical gels can often provide effective relief and resolution
