About Piles

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that cause pain, itching, and bleeding. They commonly occur due to constipation, prolonged sitting, or straining during bowel movements. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can provide quick relief and prevent complications.

Causes of Piles:

• Chronic constipation or straining during bowel movements
• Prolonged sitting, especially on the toilet
• Low-fibre diet leading to hard stools
• Obesity or lack of physical activity
• Pregnancy due to increased pressure on rectal veins
• Family history or weak vein structures

Symptoms of Piles:

• Bright red bleeding during bowel movements
• Pain or discomfort around the anal area
• Itching, irritation, or swelling near the anus
• A lump or swelling felt around the anal opening
• Mucus discharge after passing stool
• Difficulty sitting due to discomfort
• Feeling of incomplete evacuation after bowel movements

Grades of Piles:

• Grade I: Small internal hemorrhoids that bleed but do not protrude outside the anus.
• Grade II: Hemorrhoids that come out during bowel movements but go back inside on their own.
• Grade III: Hemorrhoids that protrude and need to be pushed back manually.
• Grade IV: Severely prolapsed piles that remain outside and cannot be pushed back, often requiring surgery.

Diagnosis for Piles:

1. Physical examination of the anal area to check for external swelling or lumps.
2. Digital rectal examination (DRE) to feel for internal hemorrhoids or abnormalities.
3. Proctoscopy to visually inspect the anal canal and lower rectum using a small scope.
4. Anoscopy for a detailed view of internal hemorrhoids.
5. Sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy (if needed) to rule out other causes of rectal bleeding or pain.

Recovery from Piles Treatment:

• Most patients resume normal activities within a few days after minimally invasive piles treatment.
• Pain and discomfort gradually reduce with prescribed medication and warm sitz baths.
• A high-fibre diet and good hydration help ensure smooth bowel movements during recovery.
• Avoid heavy lifting and straining to prevent recurrence.
• Regular follow-up with the doctor ensures proper healing and long-term relief.

List of Piles Surgeries

1. Laser Piles Surgery

A minimally invasive procedure that uses a precise laser beam to shrink swollen hemorrhoidal tissue. It causes minimal pain, less bleeding, and offers a quick recovery.

2. Stapler Hemorrhoidectomy (MIPH)

This technique uses a circular stapling device to remove prolapsed hemorrhoids and reposition tissues. It is less painful than traditional surgery and ideal for Grade III–IV piles.

3. Rubber Band Ligation (RBL)

A rubber band is placed at the base of the internal hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply. The hemorrhoid shrinks and falls off naturally within a few days.

4. Sclerotherapy

A chemical solution is injected into the hemorrhoid to shrink the swollen veins. It is effective for early-stage piles and offers quick relief.

5. Hemorrhoidectomy (Open or Closed)

This is the surgical removal of severe or recurrent hemorrhoids. It provides permanent relief but may involve a slightly longer recovery period.

6. Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (DGHAL)

A Doppler instrument identifies the arteries supplying blood to hemorrhoids, which are then tied off. This reduces swelling and is useful for advanced-grade piles without major tissue removal.
