A member asked:
Is it ok to get piles operated at the age of 80? or should the same be avoided because of the age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: 80 is not an absolute reason not to have a surgery. The patient's general health status needs to be taken into consideration as well as the actual indication for the surgery.
