What is Piles?
Piles, also known as haemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum or anus. They are similar to varicose veins, and can cause discomfort, itching, pain or bleeding during bowel movements.
Piles can happen because of straining during bowel movements, sitting for long periods, pregnancy, or chronic constipation. In simple terms, they are like tiny cushions or lumps in or around your bottom that have become swollen and irritated.
Piles are graded one to four by how far they protrude. Grade 1 stays inside; grade 2 comes down when you strain and goes back on its own; grade 3 needs pushing back; grade 4 stays out. The grade is what decides whether you need a cream, a clinic procedure, or an operation.
Common Causes of Piles
Piles happen when too much pressure is put on the veins in your bottom. These are the eight causes our proctologists see most often.
-
Straining during bowel movements
Pushing too hard while passing stool puts pressure on the veins in your bottom.
-
Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
Both irritate and stress the anal area over time.
-
Sitting for too long
Especially on the toilet or at a desk: it increases pressure on the rectal veins.
-
Pregnancy
The extra weight and pressure during pregnancy can lead to piles in women.
-
Lifting heavy objects
Doing this often, or incorrectly, strains the lower body.
-
A low-fibre diet
Not eating enough fruit, vegetables or whole grains makes stools hard and difficult to pass.
-
Obesity
Extra body weight puts sustained pressure on the pelvic area.
-
Ageing
As you age, the tissues in your rectum and anus naturally weaken, making piles more likely.
In short: piles come from pressure, straining, sitting too long, or eating habits that leave stools hard to pass.
Symptoms of Piles
The symptoms are largely the same in men and women; the severity varies with lifestyle and with other health conditions.
Symptoms in females
- Pain or discomfort while sitting or passing stool
- Itching or irritation around the anal area
- Bright red bleeding during or after bowel movements
- Swelling or tender lumps around the anus
- Slight leakage of stool, in some cases
Symptoms in males
- Pain or burning when using the toilet or sitting for long periods
- Bleeding noticeable on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
- Lumps or swelling near the anus that may feel like a bump
- Itching or irritation around the anal area
- Difficulty sitting, because of discomfort or soreness
Bleeding is not a symptom to wait out. It is the one piles share with conditions that need ruling out, and an examination is what tells them apart.
How Piles Are Diagnosed
Diagnosis is quick, and most of it is done in the consulting room on your first visit. The point is twofold: confirm the piles, and rule out the conditions that bleed the same way.
-
History & symptom review
What you are noticing, for how long, and what your bowel habits are like: this alone narrows the diagnosis considerably.
-
Physical examination
A visual check of the anal area for external piles, skin tags, swelling or a prolapsed pile.
-
Digital rectal examination
A gloved, lubricated finger examination to feel for internal piles and check the tone of the sphincter. It takes seconds.
-
Proctoscopy
A short, lubricated scope that lets the surgeon see the anal canal directly and grade the piles accurately.
-
Colonoscopy, where indicated
Advised when you are over 45, when bleeding does not fit the picture, or when there is a family history: to rule out anything higher up.
-
Blood tests
A haemoglobin check where bleeding has been heavy or prolonged, and routine pre-operative bloods if surgery is planned.
You will usually leave the first consultation knowing the grade of your piles and which treatments are open to you.
Treatments for Piles
Treatment is matched to the grade of the piles and to what you would rather avoid. Most patients never reach the second list.
Non-surgical
Non-surgical treatments for piles
-
Rubber band ligation
A small rubber band is placed around the base of the haemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply, so it shrinks and falls off.
-
Sclerotherapy
A chemical solution is injected into the haemorrhoid to shrink it. No cut, and no hospital stay.
-
Infrared coagulation (IRC)
Infrared light coagulates the blood vessels feeding the haemorrhoid, causing it to shrink.
-
Diet and lifestyle changes
A high-fibre diet, more water, and not straining during bowel movements: the foundation every other treatment sits on.
Surgical
Surgical treatments for piles
-
Laser haemorrhoidoplasty
A laser fibre shrinks the pile from the inside with no external cut: the least painful of the operative options, and usually a day-care procedure.
-
Haemorrhoidectomy
Surgical removal of large or severe haemorrhoids under anaesthesia: the definitive option for advanced grades.
-
Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH)
A stapling device removes haemorrhoidal tissue and repositions what remains, with markedly less post-operative pain.
-
Doppler-guided haemorrhoidal artery ligation (DGHAL)
Ultrasound locates the arteries feeding the haemorrhoids so they can be tied off, reducing blood flow and swelling.
Which of these is right depends on the severity of the piles and on your own preference: a conversation with a colorectal surgeon, not a decision to make from a list.
What Laser Piles Surgery Involves
The procedure most of our patients have. It takes about thirty minutes, leaves no external wound, and you go home the same day.
Laser haemorrhoidoplasty
-
Pre-operative assessment
Routine bloods, an ECG where age or history calls for one, and a fasting window of six hours before your slot.
-
Anaesthesia
Usually a short spinal or a brief general anaesthetic. You feel nothing during the procedure either way.
-
Accessing the pile
A proctoscope holds the anal canal open so the surgeon can see and reach each haemorrhoid directly. No incision is made.
-
Laser energy delivered
A fine laser fibre is passed into the pile and energy is applied in controlled pulses, sealing the feeding vessels so the swelling collapses.
-
Checking the result
The surgeon confirms each pile has shrunk and that there is no bleeding. The sphincter is left untouched throughout, which is what protects continence.
-
Recovery & discharge
Two to four hours in the day-care ward, a light meal, and home the same evening with medication and a follow-up date.
Because nothing is cut away and no stitches are placed externally, the pain that people most associate with piles surgery is largely absent from this one.

Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients are back at a desk job inside three days. The timeline below is for laser haemorrhoidoplasty; open surgery runs roughly twice as long at every stage.
- Day 0
Home the same evening. Some heaviness and a mild ache, controlled with oral painkillers.
- Days 1–3
First bowel movement, usually within 24 hours and easier than expected. Light walking encouraged; desk work is realistic by day three.
- Week 1
Spotting on wiping is normal and settles. Sitz baths twice a day. Follow-up review at the end of the week.
- Weeks 2–4
Swelling resolves fully and normal activity resumes, including the gym. Driving from about day five.
- Week 6
Final review. The tissue has healed completely and the diet changes become the long-term prevention.
Aftercare
-
Sitz baths
Ten minutes in warm water, twice daily for the first fortnight. It soothes and it keeps the area clean.
-
Fibre and water
25–30g of fibre a day and two to three litres of water. Soft stools are what stop the piles coming back.
-
Do not sit and strain
No phone on the toilet. Longer than five minutes on the seat undoes the point of the operation.
-
Avoid heavy lifting
Nothing above ten kilos for the first three weeks: heavy lifting raises the same pressure that caused the piles.
-
When to call us
Heavy fresh bleeding, fever, or an inability to pass urine after the procedure. Any of the three, call the ward.
-
Keep both follow-ups
Week one and week six. The second one is the one people skip, and it is the one that confirms full healing.
Recurrence after laser treatment is uncommon, and it is uncommon largely because of the diet changes: the operation fixes the pile, the fibre stops the next one.
When Should You Seek Treatment for Piles?
Book a consultation if you have any of the following.
- Persistent pain or bleeding during bowel movements.
- Piles that do not improve with lifestyle changes or medication.
- Symptoms that interfere with your daily activities.
Cost of Piles Treatment in Hyderabad
What piles treatment costs at Lux Hospitals depends on the grade, the procedure it calls for, and the room you choose. These are the ranges our patients fall into.
| Procedure | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Rubber band ligation / sclerotherapy Out-patient, per session, no admission | ₹8,000 – ₹18,000 |
| Laser haemorrhoidoplasty Day care, same-day discharge | ₹45,000 – ₹75,000 |
| Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH) One night’s stay | ₹55,000 – ₹90,000 |
| Open haemorrhoidectomy One to two nights’ stay | ₹40,000 – ₹70,000 |
What changes the estimate
-
Grade & number of piles
A single grade-2 pile and three grade-4 piles are not the same operation, and the theatre time differs accordingly.
-
Procedure chosen
Laser costs more than a conventional haemorrhoidectomy in theatre, and less in recovery time away from work.
-
Room category
A shared ward, a twin-sharing room or a private suite: the largest single swing in most estimates.
-
Insurance & TPA cover
We are empanelled with most major insurers, and our team files the pre-authorisation for you.
Every figure above is an indicative range, not a quote. After your consultation you are given a written, fixed-cost estimate, and that is the number you pay, with no additions once treatment begins.
