What treatments work best for piles and can they be cured without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the anus and rectum that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. While not always cured without surgery, several nonsurgical treatments can effectively manage symptoms and reduce the size of piles. These include dietary changes, topical treatments, and medical procedures like rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy. Surgery is often reserved for severe cases or when nonsurgical treatments are not effective

I've had an outgrowth near my anus for the past 3 years that causes itching. I also have constant gas and acidity issues my stomach always feels full of gas. The gas puts pressure on my heart, and I have to strain during bowel movements. I had a VSD heart surgery back in 1999. Is surgery an option for the anal outgrowth since I'm not on any medications right now?

I just got a sonogram report showing two tracks in my anal fistula and I'm considering laser surgery how effective is this treatment and what should I expect during recovery
Laser surgery, specifically FiLAC (Fistula-Tract Laser Closure), offers a minimally invasive approach to treating anal fistulas and is generally considered effective, particularly for certain types of fistulas. Success rates vary, but generally range from 60% to 85%, depending on factors like fistula complexity and patient health. Recovery is typically quicker than with traditional surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
