Introduction to Piles (Hemorrhoids)
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can lead to discomfort, itching, and sometimes bleeding. They can be internal or external and vary in severity. Contributing factors include chronic constipation, prolonged sitting, or even pregnancy. Though common, untreated hemorrhoids can result in persistent discomfort and complications.
At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, located in OMR, Chennai, we specialize in providing advanced, patient-centric treatment options for piles. Our expert team is committed to helping you achieve lasting relief and improved quality of life.
Types of Piles
- Internal Hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum, these are often painless but may cause bleeding.
- External Hemorrhoids: These develop around the anus and may cause significant discomfort.
- Thrombosed Hemorrhoids: These occur when a clot forms inside an external hemorrhoid, leading to severe pain and swelling.
Symptoms of Piles
- Pain or discomfort during bowel movements
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- Swelling or a lump near the anus
- Bright red rectal bleeding
- Leakage of stool
Diagnosis and Consultation
At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, our skilled specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical exams and, if necessary, diagnostic tests such as a proctoscopy or colonoscopy. This allows us to accurately determine the severity of your condition and customize a treatment plan.
Advanced Treatment Options for Piles
We offer a variety of treatment options based on the type and severity of your hemorrhoids:
- Lifestyle and Dietary Adjustments: Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can significantly reduce symptoms.
- Medications: Topical ointments and suppositories can help reduce pain, swelling, and itching.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures:
- Rubber Band Ligation: A band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off the blood supply, causing it to shrink.
- Sclerotherapy: A solution is injected to shrink the hemorrhoid.
- Infrared Coagulation: This procedure uses infrared light to cause the blood vessels to clot, reducing hemorrhoid size.
- Surgical Treatments:
- Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal of hemorrhoids, recommended for severe cases.
- Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy: A procedure where prolapsed hemorrhoids are stapled back into place.
