Piles, medically known as haemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels inside or around the anus. Although piles are common, many patients delay treatment because of embarrassment. Timely consultation can help control symptoms and identify whether they are caused by piles or another anorectal condition.
“Bleeding is a symptom, not a diagnosis—never ignore repeated rectal bleeding.”

Can Piles Be Treated Without Surgery?

Depending on the patient's condition, treatment options may include:
-
Medicines and lifestyle modification: Changes in diet, hydration, exercise and toilet habits, along with medicines when required.
-
Laser treatment for piles: A minimally invasive treatment option that may be considered for suitable patients.

Kshar Sutra treatment for piles: A specialised treatment approach that may be recommended depending on the patient's condition.
