What is Piles?
Piles or hemorrhoids are the swollen blood vessels or veins present inside or around the anus (at the bottom of the rectum). Piles is a very common condition, affecting almost 50% of the population over the age of 50. It is formed when continuous excess pressure is laid on the blood vessel, resulting in painful, bloody, and itchy hemorrhoids. They are of two types:
1. Internal Hemorrhoids: These occur when blood vessels in the anus and rectum become swollen.
2. External Hemorrhoids: The external hemorrhoids can be seen and felt on the surface of the anal skin.
Piles Surgery
As there are not many troublesome symptoms of piles in their early stages, people are usually unaware of their existence. Even if they get to know, due to embarrassment, many people do not discuss it with others and suffer silently. There’s nothing to embarrass!
There are several surgical and non-surgical procedures to treat hemorrhoids. Surgical treatment is conducted to restrict the blood supply or remove the hemorrhoids. Your doctor will first diagnose the severity and location of hemorrhoids and then opt for a suitable treatment to shrink or cut them off.
Causes & Symptoms of Piles
Although there are several factors that can cause piles or hemorrhoids, long-term constipation or diarrhoea and a low-fibre diet are the major ones. Pregnancy, heavy weight lifting, being overweight, being older than 50, having a long-term cough, or having an infection around the anus are all possible risk factors.
Symptoms
- Itching and irritation around the anus
- Pain and inflammation
- Tender lump (prolapse)
- Blood after passing the stool
- Slimy discharge from the anal
Treatment of Piles
Rubber band ligation
This is the most common method to treat hemorrhoids. This procedure uses a tight band at the base of hemorrhoids to restrict the blood supply; eventually, it falls off.
Coagulation
This procedure uses infrared light, electric current, heat, or extreme cold to make the hemorrhoid retract and shrink. It causes scar tissue to form, later causing hemorrhoids to fall off.
Sclerotherapy
Your doctor will use this technique to shrink the hemorrhoids by injecting some chemicals into the internal hemorrhoids. This causes the hemorrhoid to fall off and leave the infected area without a scar.
Hemorrhoidectomy
This is the open surgery technique that makes a small cut on the perianal skin to slice the hemorrhoids into pieces and remove them. This procedure leaves a small scar and takes time to heal.
Laser Surgery
Treatment of piles using laser technology is a minimally invasive approach with a high success rate. A focused laser beam is used during the procedure to target the afflicted areas to burn and shrink the hemorrhoids. To stop additional swelling, the laser beam cuts off the blood flow from the enlarged blood vessels.
