Piles (Bleeding Haemorrhoids)

Piles Treatment in Mysore

Haemorrhoids or Piles are swollen veins (lumps) in your anus or lower rectum. Internal Haemorrhoids are developed inside the rectum, and external Haemorrhoids form around the anus. With simple home treatment and lifestyle changes, Piles can be easily prevented and managed. These swollen blood vessels can cause due to constipation, heavy lifting, pregnancy, or pushing too hard when pooing. 

Symptoms 

Common symptoms of Piles depend on the type of Haemorrhoid you have, such as 

External Haemorrhoids

  • Bleeding 

  • Pain or discomfort 

  • Swelling around anus 

  • Itching or irritation in the anal region 

Internal Haemorrhoids

  • Painless bleeding during straining when pooing 

  • Prolapsed or protruding haemorrhoid resulting in pain and irritation 

Thrombosed Haemorrhoids

  • Severe pain when blood pools in the external piles, thereby forming a clot 

  • Swelling 

  • Hard lump near or around the anus 

  • Inflammation 

Treatment 

Normally, bleeding Haemorrhoids go away after home treatment, after which the haemorrhoids improve significantly. However, even after following the home treatment, you may require hospital treatment if there is no improvement. While these hospital treatments help in healing present piles, there is no guarantee that treatments always prevent piles from coming back. Your doctor will recommend the best treatment based on your medical condition, medical history and type of piles. Patients might not feel much pain where the area is numbed for performing the treatment. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Common Piles treatments are as follows: 

  • Rubber Band Ligation: 

Here, a rubber band is placed around the piles to detach them from the body.

  • Electrotherapy 

To shrink the piles, a gentle electric current is applied to the area. 

  • Sclerotherapy

A liquid is injected into the piles to make them shrink 

  • Infrared Coagulation

 Infrared radiation (IR) light stops the blood supply to the area and makes it shrink.  

Surgery 

While most treatments are successful, surgery is expected when the treatment does not work. The surgery is performed on unconscious patients, and a hospital stay of more than 1 day is required.  

These surgeries include: 

  • Haemorrhoidectomy

 In this surgical treatment, the haemorrhoid is surgically removed from the body.

  • Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation

Doctors stitch the haemorrhoid to cut the blood supply so that it can shrink in size.

  • Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy

The affected area is attached back inside the anus. Visit our general surgery hospital in Mysore for the best treatment.
