Piles, also known as haemorrhoids, are a common yet often misunderstood ailment that affects millions worldwide. Let’s explore the causes, symptoms, and complications of piles.

If you're considering treatment for piles, reach out to us, or book a direct appointment with our general surgeon. At the CK Birla Hospital in Jaipur, we are dedicated to ensuring that your piles treatment is as safe, comfortable, and effective as possible. We're here to guide you every step of the way towards a successful recovery.

What are the causes of piles?

Piles develop as a result of excessive pressure on the blood vessels near the rectal area. Various factors and potential triggers for this condition include:

  • Exerting excessive effort while having a bowel movement.
  • Prolonged sitting, particularly on the toilet.
  • Experiencing persistent bouts of constipation or diarrhoea.
  • Having a family history of piles.
  • Regularly engaging in strenuous physical activities or heavy lifting.
  • Being affected by obesity.
  • Participating in anal sexual intercourse, which can lead to irritation of piles.
  • Pregnancy, as an enlarged uterus, applies pressure to the colon's veins, causing them to protrude.
  • Being older than 50 years of age.

What are the risks if piles are not treated timely and properly?

Untreated piles, or haemorrhoids, can lead to various complications and discomfort:

  • Increased pain and discomfort, including itching and burning.
  • Persistent bleeding may worsen over time.
  • Formation of painful blood clots (thrombosed haemorrhoids).
  • Anaemia due to chronic bleeding.
  • Anal fissures or fistulas from straining during bowel movements.
  • Prolapse, where piles protrude outside the anus.
  • Infections from scratching or excessive wiping.
  • Anal stenosis, narrowing the anal canal.
  • Negative social and psychological impacts.
  • Delayed diagnosis of serious conditions like colorectal cancer.

Timely treatment is essential to alleviate symptoms and prevent these potential risks. Treatment options vary based on severity, ranging from lifestyle changes to surgical interventions.

What are the types of piles?

Piles may occur internally or externally, and the specific type is determined by the location of the swollen vein. These variations encompass:

  • External: Swollen veins under the skin around the anus, leading to itching, pain, occasional bleeding, and possible blood clots.
  • Internal: Swollen veins inside the rectum, typically causing bleeding but not usually painful.
  • Prolapsed piles: This can be either internal or external and involve protrusion outside the anus, which can result in bleeding or pain.

Regardless of type, piles can be uncomfortable, but they are not usually dangerous. To reduce symptoms and encourage recovery, there are treatment alternatives available.

What are the types of treatment for piles?

Your medical practitioner has various options for addressing piles, including:

  1. Rubber band ligation: Cut off hemorrhoid's blood supply by wrapping a little rubber band around its base.
  2. Electrocoagulation: An electric current stops blood flow to the hemorrhoid.
  3. Infrared coagulation: Heat is transmitted via a rectal probe to eliminate haemorrhoids.
  4. Sclerotherapy: A chemical injection destroys hemorrhoidal tissue in the swollen vein.

Surgical interventions comprise:

  • Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgery to remove large external or prolapsed internal piles.
  • Haemorrhoid stapling: A stapling instrument deals with internal piles or relocates a prolapsed one inside the anus.

What is the average cost of a piles treatment?

The cost of a piles treatment varies as per the specific type advised by a healthcare provider, such as:

  • Rubber band ligation
  • Electrocoagulation
  • Infrared coagulation
  • Sclerotherapy
  • Hemorrhoidectomy
  • Hemorrhoid stapling

The cost can also vary widely depending on several factors, including the location, the extent of the procedure, the surgeon's experience, and the hospital's pricing structure.

How can you prevent piles?

As one age, piles become increasingly common. The following measures can aid in averting the development of piles by preventing difficult bowel movements and constipation:

  1. Avoid prolonged toilet sitting and excessive straining.
  2. Respond promptly to the urge for bowel movements.
  3. Stay well-hydrated by drinking ample water.
  4. Increase fibre intake through fruits, veggies, and whole grains (25g for women, 35g for men).
  5. Maintain physical activity to keep bowels active.
  6. Use laxatives or enemas as advised by a healthcare provider to prevent disruptions in bowel regulation.

How are piles diagnosed? 

Healthcare providers diagnose piles through symptom evaluation and physical exams, including:

  1. Digital rectal exam: A gloved, lubricated finger checks for swollen veins in the rectum.
  2. Anoscopy: An anoscope (lighted tube) is used to examine the anus and rectum lining.
  3. Sigmoidoscopy: A sigmoidoscope (camera-equipped tube) examines the lower colon and rectum, with flexible or rigid options (proctoscopy).

Uncomfortable but painless tests in outpatient settings; same-day return home. A colonoscopy might be needed for results confirmation or cancer screening, with anaesthesia.

What are the pre-treatment/surgery instructions for a piles treatment?

Before undergoing piles treatment or surgery, follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

  • Schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider to discuss your medical history and medications.
  • Modify your diet to include more fibre and drink plenty of water.
  • Manage symptoms with prescribed or over-the-counter medications.
  • Develop regular bowel habits and refrain from straining when you go to the bathroom.
  • Limit spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol, which can irritate the digestive tract.
  • Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
  • Maintain good anal hygiene with gentle cleansing after bowel movements.
  • Consider discontinuing blood-thinning medications if advised.
  • Follow fasting instructions before surgery.
  • Arrange for transportation home after surgery if anaesthesia is used.

What are the post-surgery instructions for a piles treatment?

Post-surgery instructions for piles (haemorrhoid) treatment typically include:

  • Pain management: Take prescribed medications for pain relief as directed.
  • Rest and activity: Rest, avoid strenuous activities, and heavy lifting for a few days.
  • Diet: Follow a high-fibre diet, emphasising fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Stay hydrated and avoid irritating foods.
  • Stool softeners: Use stool softeners or laxatives as recommended to ease bowel movements.
  • Hygiene: Keep the anal area clean using a peri-bottle or gentle wipes.
  • Sitz baths: Take warm sitz baths several times a day to reduce swelling and promote healing.
  • Medications: Apply topical creams or ointments as instructed for inflammation.
  • Follow-up appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments.
  • Watch for complications: Be vigilant for signs of infection, severe bleeding, or unusual discomfort.
