Laser Piles Treatment
What Are Piles (Hemorrhoids)?
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed blood vessels in and around the anus or lower rectum. They may develop due to increased pressure during bowel movements and can cause discomfort, bleeding, itching, or swelling.
What Is Laser Piles Treatment?
Laser piles treatment is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to treat symptomatic hemorrhoids. It uses focused laser energy to treat the affected blood vessels with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. The procedure generally involves less discomfort and may allow a faster recovery compared with traditional surgical methods.
Types of Piles
Internal Hemorrhoids:
These develop inside the rectum and may cause painless bleeding or protrusion during bowel movements.
External Hemorrhoids:
These occur under the skin around the anus and may cause pain, swelling, itching, or discomfort.
Common Causes of Piles
Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
Straining during bowel movements
Prolonged sitting
Pregnancy and obesity
Low-fibre diet and inadequate water intake
Increasing age
Symptoms of Piles
Common symptoms may include:
Bright red bleeding during or after bowel movements
Pain or discomfort around the anus
Itching or irritation
Swelling or a lump near the anus
Prolapse or a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
Why Consider Laser Piles Treatment?
Laser treatment may offer advantages such as minimal tissue damage, reduced postoperative discomfort, less bleeding, and quicker recovery in appropriately selected patients. A qualified surgeon can determine whether laser treatment is suitable based on the type and severity of hemorrhoids.
