A member asked:
Whar are the treatments for a sentinel pile? is it just surgery? treating a fissure w nitroglycerin, which makes the lump burn. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: Nitro has about 70% success , but to excise that annoying tissue and reach almost 100% success rate do a lateral sphincterotomy with pile excision.
