Piles (Hemorrhoids)

Advanced Surgical Care for Piles (Hemorrhoids)

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal and lower rectum. They are a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Piles can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). They can cause significant discomfort, bleeding, itching, and pain, especially during bowel movements. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for relief and long-term cure.

Dr. Surendra Pal Jakhar specializes in the surgical management of piles, utilizing advanced laser, stapler, and minimally invasive techniques. His comprehensive approach combines accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and compassionate care to achieve the best possible outcomes for his patients.

Types of Piles

  • Internal Hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum and usually not visible. They may prolapse (protrude) outside the anus in advanced stages.
  • External Hemorrhoids: Located under the skin around the anus. They can be painful and may thrombose (form a clot).
  • Prolapsed Hemorrhoids: Internal hemorrhoids that have pushed through the anal opening and are visible outside.
  • Thrombosed Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids with a blood clot inside, causing severe pain and swelling.

Common Symptoms of Piles

  • Painless bleeding during bowel movements (bright red blood on toilet paper or in the stool)
  • Anal pain, discomfort, or a feeling of fullness
  • Itching or irritation in the anal area
  • Swelling or a lump near the anus
  • Pain during bowel movements
  • Mucus discharge from the anus
  • Incomplete evacuation (feeling that the bowel is not empty)

Surgical Treatment Options for Piles

  • Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty: A minimally invasive laser treatment that reduces internal hemorrhoids with minimal pain, bleeding, and quick recovery.
  • Stapler Hemorrhoidopexy (PPH): A procedure using a circular stapler to reposition and fix prolapsed hemorrhoids, reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue.
  • Open Hemorrhoidectomy (Milligan-Morgan): Surgical removal of large or thrombosed hemorrhoids for definitive cure in severe cases.
  • Rubber Band Ligation: A non-surgical procedure where a small rubber band is placed around the base of an internal hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply.
  • Sclerotherapy: Injection of a chemical solution into the hemorrhoid to shrink it.
  • Infrared Coagulation: Use of infrared heat to coagulate and shrink internal hemorrhoids.
