Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus that cause discomfort and bleeding. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a renowned gastroenterologist in Indore, offers expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options for piles to relieve symptoms and improve digestive health.
Piles occur due to increased pressure on the veins in the anal and rectal area, often caused by constipation, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, or heavy lifting. They can be internal, external, or prolapsed, and if untreated, may lead to pain, bleeding, and complications such as thrombosis.
Common symptoms of piles include:
Pain and itching around the anus
Bright red blood in stools or on toilet paper
Swelling or lumps near the anus
Discomfort during bowel movements
Leakage of mucus
Types of piles are:
Internal piles: Located inside the rectum, usually painless but may bleed.
External piles: Found under the skin around the anus and can be painful.
Prolapsed piles: Internal piles that protrude outside the anus.
Dr. Sarang Mahanaik provides a thorough evaluation using physical examination and anoscopy to assess the severity of piles. Treatment options vary based on the grade and symptoms and include:
Dietary and lifestyle changes to relieve constipation and reduce pressure
Medications for pain relief and inflammation reduction
Minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or infrared coagulation
Surgical intervention in severe or recurrent cases
The treatment approach focuses on symptom relief, preventing recurrence, and enhancing patient comfort.
If you are experiencing symptoms of piles, early consultation can prevent complications and provide effective relief. Contact us in Indore to book an appointment with Dr. Sarang Mahanaik for expert evaluation and personalized piles treatment tailored to your needs.
