How is Piles (Hemorrhoids) Diagnosed?
Digital rectal examination (DRE) to physically assess the anal region.
Proctoscopy or anoscopy to visualize internal hemorrhoids directly.
Sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to rule out other causes of bleeding.
Review of patient history and symptom pattern to confirm grade and severity.
Types of Piles (Hemorrhoids) Treatment
Internal Hemorrhoids
Located inside the rectum, they usually cannot be felt but cause painless bleeding during bowel movements.
External Hemorrhoids
Form under the skin around the anus and can cause pain, itching, and swelling.
Thrombosed Hemorrhoids
A blood clot forms inside a hemorrhoid, causing severe pain and significant swelling.
How the Procedure Works
The patient is administered spinal or local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort.
A proctoscope is gently inserted to visualize the hemorrhoid tissue.
A laser fiber is precisely directed at the hemorrhoid to shrink and seal the swollen vessels.
The treated tissue gradually shrinks and is absorbed by the body over the following weeks.
The patient is monitored briefly and typically discharged on the same day.
Traditional vs Modern Treatment
| Traditional Surgery | Modern (Laser/Laparoscopic) |
|---|---|
| Open hemorrhoidectomy involves significant cutting and stitches, causing high post-operative pain. | Laser treatment precisely targets tissue with no cuts or stitches, resulting in minimal to no pain. |
| Hospital stay of 2-3 days and recovery taking up to 4-6 weeks. | Day-care procedure with recovery typically within 48-72 hours. |
| Higher risk of post-operative bleeding and infection with open surgery. | Laser seals blood vessels simultaneously, virtually eliminating bleeding risk. |
| Significant post-op discomfort requiring strong analgesics. | Minimal discomfort managed easily with mild over-the-counter pain relief. |
When to See a Doctor
Consult a specialist immediately if you experience:
- Rectal bleeding that persists for more than a few days.
- Significant pain, swelling, or a lump around the anus that does not resolve.
- Prolapsed hemorrhoid that cannot be pushed back inside.
- Symptoms that interfere with daily activities or quality of life.
Post-Operative Care Instructions
Maintain a high-fiber diet and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to prevent constipation.
Avoid straining during bowel movements; use stool softeners if prescribed.
Keep the anal area clean and dry; gently wash with warm water after each bowel movement.
Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 1 week post-procedure.
Attend all follow-up appointments so your surgeon can monitor healing progress.
