Opening of PIlonidal sinus scar marks.

I had a  pilonidal sinus surgery 4 years ago. The scar has opened 5 to 6 times during this. Mostly when I used recliner seats for my commute to work. After cleaning and using betadin it usually gets healed in few days and keep shut for few months but usually reopens time to time I a thinking about lazer hair removal to reduce the possibility of reoccurrence . But I have few questions in mind. 1. Is the process painful. 2. How fast can I go back to work after session. 3. How much it may cost per session. Thanks in advance

Hemorrhoid

Hello Doctor, I had a C-section delivery about 10 months ago. I have had hemorrhoids for around 4 years. I had bleeding a few years ago, which stopped, but recently the bleeding has started again and is slightly more than before. The blood is bright red, and I have a burning sensation during bowel movements. I can feel a swollen lump when I touch the area, but it does not protrude outside. I am currently on a no-carb, calorie-deficit diet. Could this be due to hemorrhoids, or could there be another cause? Do I need an examination or any treatment?
