Hemorrhoids (commonly called piles) are a very common problem among people. Yet, many patients continue to suffer silently out of embarrassment. This is understandable — piles affect an intimate area, and many hesitate to seek medical help until symptoms become severe. If you are experiencing bleeding while passing stool, pain, itching, or a lump near the anus, you may be dealing with piles. The good news is that modern treatments such as Laser, Ligasure, and Stapler surgery offer safe, quick, and effective solutions.

At our surgical center, we bring together 25+ years of experience, 8,000+ successful laparoscopic and advanced surgeries, and a strong patient-first philosophy. Our goal is to help you return to a comfortable, pain-free life with compassion and expertise.

Causes of Piles

Why Are Piles Common?

Dietary and lifestyle habits play a big role in the high incidence of hemorrhoids in our region:

  • Spicy and Oily Foods: Popular snacks like farsan, sev, gathiya, fried items, and spicy curries can sometimes trigger constipation and irritation.
  • Low Fiber Intake: Traditional meals often lack sufficient raw vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
  • Sedentary Jobs: Many residents work in offices or run businesses that involve long hours of sitting, increasing pressure on rectal veins.
  • Hot Weather & Dehydration: The climate can lead to reduced water intake, which contributes to hard stools and constipation.
  • Cultural Hesitation: Talking about anorectal health is often considered embarrassing, leading to delayed treatment.

Understanding these causes helps us not only treat piles but also guide patients on preventing recurrences through diet and lifestyle modification.

Symptoms of Piles

What Are Hemorrhoids (Piles)?

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus, similar to varicose veins but located in the lower digestive tract.

Common Symptoms:

  • Bright red bleeding after bowel movements.
  • Pain, burning, or itching in the anal area.
  • Swelling or a lump around the anus.
  • Prolapse (tissue coming out of the anus).
  • Discomfort while sitting for long periods is common among office workers and drivers.

Classification:

01

Internal Hemorrhoids

  • Inside the rectum, often painless but cause bleeding and prolapse.
02

External Hemorrhoids

  • Around the anus, usually painful and swollen.
03

Grading Severity

  • Graded from I to IV depending on severity (I = mild, IV = severe, permanently prolapsed).
