Hemorrhoid pile not shrinking

I am at Day 24 post laser plus stapled hemorrhoidopexy surgery. I had a grade 3 prolapsed hemorrhoid for 5 years. The surgeon has removed (excised) the hemorrhoid (hemorrhoidopexy) that used to pop out and he has applied laser at the rectal exit which also used to pop out along with the hemorrhoid as a unified mass. Post defecation the hemorrhoid lump is no more there but I can still feel quite a big lump (mostly the mass at which laser was aimed). On wiping I can feel that protrusion and the lump continues internally for a certain small length. The surgeon at the Day 16 follow up said that it will be ok within a month's time, and gave some painkillers for a week. I don't see the lump shrinking even a bit. I'm on cremaffin plus till now for soft and loose stools. How long can I continue cremaffin plus? I'm extremely worried and I don't believe that the mass is going to shrink. Also I do not know if I should put that mass inside post defecation but on spreading the leg I can feel it out

Piles (Surgery or medication) ?

My mother is suffering from Piles. She has both the hemoroids outside all the time(internal and external).Also she bleeds and it pains alot at the time of stool passage. I think this is Grade 4 Piles. The doctor that we consulted only suggested a Laser Surgery. Can you please let me know if this cant be treated using medication. Also the doctor said that it will take 3 laser sessions. Is it so or this can be done in 1 sitting also ? Please let me know if surgery is the only option or if we have any other alternative.

MTB Test - Very Low without RIF

My friend had a pretty big abscesses on his right shoulder which got burst last week. The consultation doctor at Apollo Hospital asked for MTB test for which we got the result today. The Result just says MTB Complex - Detected Very Low. I was trying to make some sense of this and everywhere online, other reports included a reference for RIF status, which is missing from my report. Does this mean my friend has no Tuberculosis?
