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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI've been dealing with piles for the last 10 years and even had surgery at Stop Piles. But now, I'm feeling the pain again. What should I do? Is there something else I can try to find relief?
The common reason for piles is constipation. It is among those who are involved in jobs that require sitting for long hours. People who do not indulge in any form of exercise and movement of the body are more vulnerable to piles.

I've had an external hemorrhoid for about a month now no pain or bleeding, but it's not getting better either. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery. Any advice on how to help it heal naturally?
To naturally manage an external hemorrhoid that isn't causing pain or bleeding, focus on improving bowel habits. Increase fiber intake, stay hydrated, and avoid straining during bowel movements. Topical treatments like over-the-counter creams, ointments, or suppositories can also help relieve discomfort, swelling, and itching. Warm baths or sitz baths can also provide relief.
