What is Piles or Hemorrhoids?
Piles are the result of inflammation of the veins in the lower part of the anus and rectum. They can cause tissue growth in and around the anus and cause significant discomfort and these growths can vary in size and location.
- Pain during passing the stools
- Itchy, red and sore area around the anus
- Hard lump around the anus which can be very painful
- Bright red blood after passing stools
Surgical treatment may be required in some cases, and options include:-
Bandaging:-
Attaching an elastic band around the base of the pile. The purpose of putting on a rubber band is to stop the blood supply to the hemorrhoid and within a few days hemorrhoid will fall off.
Infrared coagulation:-
Commonly used to treat grade I and II hemorrhoids, is a method that uses a device to burn the hemorrhoid tissue.
Sclerotherapy:-
The doctor injects a drug into a hemorrhoid to make it shrink and eventually wrinkle. This is effective for grade II and III hemorrhoids and is an alternative to banding.
Haemorrhoidectomy:-
In this type of surgery, the hemorrhoidal tissue is completely removed. It is the most effective trusted source to get rid of hemorrhoids completely, but there is a risk of complications including difficulty passing stool.
Hemorrhoid staples:-
During this procedure, a surgeon uses staples to block blood flow to the hemorrhoid tissue.
