Piles, or hemorrhoids, may require surgery (hemorrhoidectomy) if less invasive treatments fail or if severe symptoms are present, such as prolapsed hemorrhoids, persistent bleeding, or significant pain. Surgery is generally recommended for severe cases or when other treatments have not been successful.

I'm 34 and have been told I have piles, but another doctor thinks it might be condyloma. My current doctor says it's external piles and recommends surgery. What should I do? I'm confused about the different opinions and unsure if surgery is the right step

It's understandable to be confused with conflicting diagnoses. Since you've been told both "piles" (hemorrhoids) and "condyloma" (anal warts), and your current doctor suggests surgery, it's crucial to get a second opinion and clarify the diagnosis and treatment options

I've noticed a lump or bump that's been growing near my anus for a few months now, and it's starting to ooze a yellowish fluid. It's worrying me a bit, and I'm curious about what this could be. Could it be something serious, or is it possible for it to just go away on its own? What should I do next?

That could be pilonidal sinus ,without any further delay visit General Surgeon for appropriate management

I've been dealing with a fistula for years now and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any permanent cure without going under the knife? The pain is constant, there's pus discharge, and the itching in that area is really bothering me. What can I do to treat this naturally?

Chronic fistula with pus and itching usually requires surgery for permanent cure.Natural or non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief but often fail to close the tract completely.
