A Comprehensive Guide to Piles Treatment: Expert Insights
Piles, medically known as hemorrhoids, are a prevalent condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Despite their prevalence, piles can cause significant discomfort, pain, and even embarrassment. At Lux Hospitals, we understand the impact of this condition on your daily life and are dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment options that not only alleviate symptoms but also address the underlying causes.
Understanding Piles: Types, Symptoms, and Causes
Piles can be broadly categorized into internal and external piles. Internal piles are located inside the rectum and may not be visible, while external piles are located around the anus and can be seen or felt. Symptoms of piles can vary widely, including itching, pain, bleeding during bowel movements, and a feeling of discomfort or heaviness in the anal area. These symptoms can significantly affect a person’s quality of life, making effective treatment crucial.
Piles develop due to increased pressure on the blood vessels in the rectal area. This pressure can be caused by various factors, including chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, prolonged sitting, obesity, and pregnancy. Genetics can also play a role in predisposing individuals to piles.
Tailored Treatment Approaches at Lux Hospitals
At Lux Hospitals, we believe in a holistic approach to piles treatment. Our experienced proctologists begin by thoroughly assessing each patient’s condition to determine the type and severity of piles. This personalized assessment enables us to recommend the most suitable treatment approach for optimal results.
For mild cases of piles, non-surgical interventions are often effective. These may include dietary modifications to ensure regular and soft bowel movements, increased fiber intake, and the incorporation of more fluids into the diet. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding prolonged sitting and practicing good anal hygiene, can also contribute to symptom relief.
Advanced Procedures for Lasting Relief
For more severe cases of piles, Lux Hospitals offers a range of advanced treatment options. Minimally invasive procedures have revolutionized piles treatment, allowing for quicker recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort. Rubber band ligation involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the internal piles, cutting off their blood supply and causing them to shrink and fall off.
Sclerotherapy is another minimally invasive option where a solution is injected into the piles, causing them to shrink over time. Infrared coagulation uses heat to shrink the piles, promoting healing. These procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home on the same day.
Surgical Expertise for Complex Cases
In cases where non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments are not effective, Lux Hospitals’ skilled surgeons are well-equipped to perform surgical procedures such as hemorrhoidectomy. Hemorrhoidectomy involves the surgical removal of piles and is typically recommended for severe and persistent cases.
Prevention and Long-Term Care
At Lux Hospitals, we not only focus on treating the symptoms of piles but also emphasize prevention and long-term care. Our experts provide guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, adopting proper bowel habits, and avoiding factors that contribute to piles development. Education and awareness are key components of our approach, empowering patients to take control of their health.
