Laser Piles Treatment

Piles, also called haemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or around the anus that may cause bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort.

Overview

Piles, also called haemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or around the anus that may cause bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort.

Symptoms

Common symptoms include bright red bleeding, pain or discomfort during bowel movements, itching, swelling, mucus discharge, and painful swelling in thrombosed piles.

Causes

Increased pressure on lower rectal veins may be related to constipation, straining, prolonged toilet sitting, low-fibre diet, pregnancy, obesity, age, diarrhoea, or heavy lifting.

Diagnosis

Evaluation may include inspection, digital rectal examination, proctoscopy, and additional investigations when needed to exclude other causes of bleeding.

Treatment

Early cases may be managed with fibre, fluids, lifestyle changes, and medication. Persistent or advanced piles may need laser treatment, conventional surgery, or another appropriate procedure.

Recovery

Advice is individualized and may cover diet, hydration, bowel habits, pain management, activity, hygiene, and follow-up.
