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 have a painful swelling near my anus but no bleeding, is surgery the only option or can it be treated another way? Also what foods should I stay away from to help with this?
It could be a perianal abscess or thrombosed pile; sitz baths, pain meds, and dietary changes help—surgery is needed only if it worsens.
