Piles, medically known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed blood vessels located in the rectal or anal area. They can cause discomfort, bleeding, and pain — often disrupting everyday life.
Piles can develop both internally (inside the rectum) or externally (around the anal opening). Early diagnosis can help avoid worsening discomfort. Common symptoms include:
Bright red bleeding during bowel movements
Pain or discomfort while sitting
Itching or irritation around the anal area
Swelling or lumps near the anus
A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
Mucus discharge after passing stools
If left untreated, piles can lead to complications like thrombosis (blood clots), strangulation, and severe infection.
Minimally Invasive: No major cuts or stitches.
Painless Recovery: Less post-surgical pain and discomfort.
Quick Procedure: Usually completed within 30-45 minutes.
Same-Day Discharge: Most patients return home on the same day.
Low Risk of Recurrence: Laser technology helps eliminate the root cause.
Faster Healing: Reduced inflammation and quicker return to daily activities.
To ensure a smooth recovery and prevent recurrence, doctors advise a few simple precautions:
Before Surgery:
Follow dietary guidelines to avoid constipation.
Complete prescribed diagnostic tests.
Discuss medical history and ongoing medications with the surgeon.
After Surgery:
Stay hydrated and eat a fiber-rich diet to avoid straining.
Avoid heavy lifting for a few days.
Maintain proper anal hygiene to prevent infection.
Take prescribed medications as advised.
Attend follow-up consultations to monitor recovery.
