Piles

Piles Hospital, Treatment, Surgery, Symptoms & Diagnosis in India

Piles (or Haemorrhoids) are a very common ailment that may affect men or women at any age. These are caused due to continuous high pressure in the veins. Other causes include constipation, excessive straining during bowel movements, and persistent diarrhoea. Family inheritance is also considered as one of the reasons to cause piles. Women are more susceptible to piles in pregnancy as the pressure from the growing uterus restricts the blood flow in the pelvis. Lifestyle factors also have a contributory effect. If you want to know more about piles treatment, and various piles operation then read this article till the end.

Classification of Piles :

Piles may be internal or external. Internal piles are further classified into grades:

  • Grade I - No protrusion from anus.
  • Grade II - Protrusion through the anus during straining and defecation, but return spontaneously.
  • Grade III - Protrude through the anus with defecation or straining, but manually reduced.
  • Grade IV - Protrude and cannot be manually reduced.

Causes of Piles

Piles are caused due to continuous high pressure in the veins of the anal region. Reasons may include chronic constipation, excessive straining during the passage of stool, low fiber diet, or persistent diarrhea.

Family inheritance is also a factor. Women are more susceptible to piles in pregnancy as the growing uterus imparts pressure on the area and restricts the blood flow in the pelvis.

Lifestyle factors also have a major contributory effect. People are habitually constipated, overweight, lead a sedentary lifestyle with no or minimal physical activity. Habit of reading newspaper or e-news in toilet; eating junk, drinking less water are also the contributors.


Piles Symptoms & Signs :

In most cases, the symptoms and signs of piles have not any complications.

If you are suffering from piles, you may experience the following signs and symptoms:-

  • After the bowel movement, you may experience that your bowels are still full
  • A painful hard swelling may be felt around your anus. This hard lump may contain coagulated blood. This type of piles is known as thrombosed external hemorrhoids
  • You may notice clear red blood on your stool after passing the stool
  • You may experience pain while passing the stool
  • The region around the anus feels sore, red, and itchy

Piles generally resolve on their own without showing any signs of seriousness after a few days and you may not even require any piles treatment or piles operation.

If piles are not resolved on its own, it can possibly escalate into more serious condition.

  • Extreme anal bleeding which can possibly lead to anemia
  • Inability to control bowel movements or fecal incontinence
  • Infection 
  • You may experience the occurrence of anal fistula. It is a channel which is created between the inside of the anus  and the skin near the anus
  • You may also experience strangulated hemorrhoid where the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is cut off. It can lead to severe complications like a blood clot and infection

If you experience any of these conditions then your doctor might prescribe you some medications for internal piles cure or piles surgery, whichever is appropriate to the severity of your piles disease.


Diagnosis of Piles :

RG Stone Hospital is known for providing the best piles treatment in india. The doctors at RG follow a highly successful methodology for piles disease treatment. it usually starts with diagnosing piles by conducting a physical examination. Before writing any prescription for internal piles treatment, the doctors will examine the anus region of the person suspected with piles.

Doctors may also ask certain questions regarding your discomfort which includes:

  • What color are the stools?
  • Has your bowel movements changed recently?
  • Are you experiencing a sudden weight loss?
  • Has there been any mucus or blood in the stools?
  • Does someone from your family have piles?

Moreover, for internal piles, a digital rectal examination may be conducted by the doctor using a proctoscope. Proctoscope is a device that is basically a hollow tube with a light that allows the doctor to examine the anal canal thoroughly.

If the symptoms of piles are not alarming, the doctor may recommend you a colonoscopy. However, if the symptoms are serious and demonstrate any signs of colorectal cancer; then you might be prescribed to undergo piles treatment surgery.


Piles Treatment / Surgery :

In past, not many options were available when it came to piles cure because open surgery was the only option available. But today, with minimally invasive procedures, doctors approach for patient care has revolutionized. New procedure for haemorrhoids is called 'Minimally Invasive Procedure for Piles' (MIPS), also called 'Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy'. It is less painful and ensures early recovery.

The technique uses a stapling device and takes advantage of the fact that pain-sensing nerve fibres are not present high up in the anal canal. In this procedure, the mucosa above the dentate line (containing part of pile mass) is excised and stapled with the stapler gun, thereby taking care of bleeding and prolapse.

The pile masses are compressed into a cup like cavity inside the stapler. When fired, the titanium staples cut and seal simultaneously, causing minimal bleeding. As the cut line is above the nerves, there is less post-operative pain. Also, there is no incision on the perianal skin or lower part of anal canal and the wound in the anal mucosa is also primarily closed with a stapler, thus, there is no need to do any post-operative dressing.

Nonsurgical Treatment of Piles using CO2 Laser

Haemorrhoids are vascular structures in the anal canal which help in normal stool control. These are physiological cushions made up of arterio-venous channels and connective tissue.

When these haemorrhoids become inflamed, they swell up and may get displaced outwards. This pathological state is called Piles (‘buasir’ in layman terms). These can be internal, external or mixed; and are graded as per appearance from I to IV. Piles are a very common ailment that may affect men or women at any age. If you don’t want to go for piles operation for your piles treatment then, Co2 laser method of piles cure is preferred.
