I've noticed a small bump or pimple right at the opening of my anus for the past couple of days, and it's quite painful and uncomfortable. I'm wondering if I need to see someone in the gastroenterology department or if there's another type of specialist I should consider. Any advice on what this might be and whom I should consult?

I went to a general surgeon for constipation and noticed a small flesh near my anus. After a proctoscopy, she said I have grade 1 piles inside and a fissure outside. She suggested laser surgery for both as a permanent solution but I'm unsure if it's necessary since grade 1 piles can often be treated without surgery. Is laser surgery risky or should I consider other options first?

I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

For piles problem, you should consult a Proctologist or a Colorectal Surgeon. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus. They can provide you with the appropriate treatment plan, which may include medications such as Daflon (500mg) and topical creams, as well as procedures like rubber band ligation or surgical intervention if necessary.
