Piles (Hemorrhoids) – Causes, Symptoms & Modern Laser Treatment in Thane
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus. They can cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. With modern laser and minimally invasive techniques, piles can be treated effectively with faster recovery and minimal pain.
🔍 What Are Piles?
- Piles are inflamed or enlarged blood vessels in the rectum or anus
- Can be internal (inside rectum) or external (around anus)
- May cause pain, bleeding, itching, or a lump
Grades of internal piles:
- Grade I: Small, bleed but do not prolapse
- Grade II: Prolapse during bowel movements but return spontaneously
- Grade III: Prolapse requiring manual push back
- Grade IV: Permanently prolapsed, may become thrombosed or ulcerated
⚠️ Causes & Risk Factors
- Chronic constipation or straining
- Prolonged sitting
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Obesity
- Low-fiber diet
- Heavy lifting or sedentary lifestyle
- Genetic predisposition
🩺 Symptoms of Piles
- Pain or discomfort during bowel movements
- Bleeding – bright red blood on stool or toilet paper
- Swelling or a lump near the anus
- Itching and irritation
- Mucus discharge
- Leakage of stool in severe cases
Untreated piles may lead to anemia, thrombosis, or infection.
🧪 Diagnosis of Piles
- Physical Examination – inspection of external piles
- Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) – evaluates internal piles
- Anoscopy / Proctoscopy – visualizes the rectal lining
- Colonoscopy – in patients with bleeding to rule out other causes
- Ultrasound or Doppler – in select cases for complex or recurrent piles
Early diagnosis allows less invasive treatment and quicker recovery.
