What are Piles?

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum or anus that can lead to pain, discomfort, itching, and bleeding—especially during bowel movements. Timely treatment is important to manage symptoms effectively and prevent the condition from worsening.

Piles treatment focuses on both relieving current symptoms and addressing the underlying causes to reduce the chances of recurrence. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment options may include:

  • Lifestyle and dietary changes (such as increasing fiber intake)
  • Medications to reduce pain and inflammation
  • Minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation
  • Advanced surgical options such as laser surgery or stapler hemorrhoidectomy

At Square Health in Gurgaon, patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their condition. With experienced proctologists and modern, minimally invasive techniques, the focus is on ensuring faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and long-term relief.

Diagnosis & Treatment Piles

Comprehensive insights into diagnosis methods and effective treatment options

Diagnosis of Piles
Diagnosis

Diagnosis for Piles

To accurately diagnose piles, doctors perform a series of examinations based on symptoms and severity:

  • Visual Examination – The doctor inspects the anal area to identify external or prolapsed hemorrhoids
  • Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) – A gloved and lubricated finger is gently inserted into the rectum to check for swelling, lumps, or other abnormalities
  • Imaging Tests – For internal piles, specialized instruments like an anoscope or sigmoidoscope are used to get a clear view of the rectum and confirm the diagnosis

At Square Health in Gurgaon, these diagnostic methods help ensure an accurate assessment and guide the most effective treatment plan for long-term relief.

Treatment for Piles

At Square Health  in Gurgaon, advanced laser treatment is recommended for moderate to severe piles, especially when lifestyle changes and medications do not provide sufficient relief.

Laser Surgery for Piles

Laser surgery is one of the most modern and effective treatments available today. It is a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide quick and long-lasting relief.

  • A focused laser beam is used to shrink and remove the swollen hemorrhoidal tissues
  • The procedure is highly precise, targeting only the affected area
  • Minimal to no bleeding due to simultaneous sealing of blood vessels
  • Significantly less pain compared to traditional surgery
  • Faster recovery with minimal downtime

This advanced technique ensures a safe, comfortable, and efficient treatment experience, helping patients return to their normal routine quickly.
