I am having piles and suggested for laser. what to do?

I do not: Recommend laser hemorrhoid surgery at all!it was popular in the 90's but has lost favor. If she needs surgery a standard hemorrhoidectomy is still the gold standard of procedures with less potential complications than with laser surgery and better results.
