I'm considering laser surgery for piles but not sure if medicines alone can cure it How long does the laser treatment usually take and is it better than other options
Laser surgery for piles can be an effective option, offering a relatively quick procedure and recovery time. While medicines may help manage symptoms, they don't always cure the underlying condition, and laser surgery can provide a more definitive solution for larger or persistent piles. Laser treatment typically takes around 30-45 minutes, and recovery is usually faster than traditional surgery.

I forced a poop the other day and felt something weird come out besides poop. Now there's this disc-like thing next to my butthole with a dark blue or black spot on it. Pooping hurts now, and my underwear keeps getting mucus stains with a strange smell. Should I be worried? Is this something I need to see a doctor for? Are there specialists for this kind of thing, and could it require surgery? It's embarrassing to talk about in person but I'm not sure what to do
It's understandable to be concerned about these symptoms. The disc-like thing and associated discomfort could be due to a rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or other conditions affecting the rectum and anus. Since you're experiencing pain, mucus, and unusual discharge, it's important to consult a doctor, potentially a colorectal specialist, for proper diagnosis and treatment.
