Piles Treatment

Piles (Hemorrhoids)

Piles (Hemorrhoids) are swollen and enlarged veins located in the lower rectum and anus that can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort during bowel movements. They are one of the most common anorectal conditions affecting people of all ages, often resulting from prolonged constipation, excessive straining, pregnancy, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle. If left untreated, piles may gradually worsen and interfere with daily activities and overall quality of life.

Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may include lifestyle modifications, medications, or modern laser surgery that provides minimal pain, less bleeding, faster recovery, and an early return to normal life.

Causes

Piles develop when excessive pressure is placed on the veins in the lower rectum and anus. Several lifestyle habits and medical conditions can increase the risk of developing hemorrhoids. Identifying these factors early can help prevent progression and recurrence.

  • Chronic constipation and excessive straining during bowel movements.

  • Low-fiber diet leading to hard stools.

  • Insufficient water intake causing constipation.

  • Prolonged sitting on the toilet.

  • Sedentary lifestyle with limited physical activity.

  • Pregnancy and childbirth increasing pressure on pelvic veins.

  • Obesity and excess body weight.

  • Chronic diarrhea or irregular bowel habits.

  • Heavy weight lifting and strenuous physical activity.

  • Increasing age causing weakening of supporting tissues.

  • Family history of hemorrhoids.

  • Ignoring the urge to pass stools.

Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the severity of piles and rule out other conditions that may cause rectal bleeding. Dr. Rohini Tejas Patil performs a thorough clinical assessment before recommending the most appropriate treatment.

  • Detailed medical history and symptom evaluation.

  • Physical examination of the anal region.

  • Digital rectal examination when required.

  • Proctoscopy for evaluation of internal hemorrhoids.

  • Further investigations if rectal bleeding requires additional evaluation.

The treatment for piles depends on their grade, symptoms, and severity. Early-stage hemorrhoids often respond well to lifestyle modifications and medications, while advanced or recurrent piles may require minimally invasive laser surgery for long-lasting relief.

Advanced Laser Treatment for Piles

Laser surgery is one of the most advanced treatment options for piles. It uses focused laser energy to precisely shrink or remove hemorrhoidal tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues. Compared to conventional surgery, laser treatment is associated with less pain, minimal bleeding, faster healing, and a quicker return to daily activities.

Dr. Rohini Tejas Patil carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether laser treatment is the most suitable option and provides individualized care throughout the treatment journey.
