TREATMENT WITH MEDICINES AND DIET MANIPULATION : :

Many diseases can be cured by medicines and dietary adjustments. It is a misconception that qualified doctors prefers to operate for any problem arising in that area. For this reason patients tend to go to quacks who promise non -operative cure. This is not true. It is always good to see qualified doctors for your problems to avoid complications , life threatening issues and possibility of contracting contagious diseases by taking unhygienic treatment by quacks

NON-OPERATIVE METHODS (without operation ): These are techniques used to treat piles without surgery. Procedures can be done on day care basis , with less pain and inconvenience . These methods are ideal only for treating internal piles. External piles requires surgery.

Following Methods are Popular :

SCELEROTHERAPHY: A chemical is injected to block the blood vessel causing the piles, so that it prevents bulging and bleeding from piles while passing stools. Very effective in initial stages and totally painless

BANDING: A tight rubber band is applied to the base of the internal pile using a special instrument. Such banded internal pile falls off over a period of 7-10 days, resulting wound heals on its own. Very effective for second and early third degree piles. Mild pain is experienced for a few days .

CRYO-SURGERY: Even though this method is not practiced widely , finds favour with some proctologists. Here intense cold probe is applied to the pile which freezes it. This is nothing but cold burn. Over a period of 7-10 days internal pile falls off , resulting wound will heal subsequently. Mild to moderate pain may follow which will be relived with analgesics.

INFRARED COAGULATION: Infrared rays are used to burn the blood vessel causing the pile. Technique similar to scelerotherapy.

SURGICAL METHODS:

STAPLER SURGERY : Recently introduced technique where internal piles are pulled up, cut and sutured at one go , using a disposable instrument using staplers. .

LASER SURGERY : Instead of surgical knife, laser is used to perform the procedure. Studies have found out that there is no significant reduction in post operative pain compared with regular surgery.

CLASSICAL SURGERY : Gives very good results but post operative pain is an issue. With advent of good analgesics , post operative agony can be reduced significantly.
Classical surgery should be reserved for advanced and complicated piles and those which do not respond to non operative procedures.

POINTS TO REMEMBER :
All diseases around ano- rectal area are not piles. Piles (hemorrhoids ) is only one among the many diseases which occurs in that area.
Constipation, straining in the toilet for a long time, frequently eating out side , eating junk food, high spicy diet ,regular use of laxatives, avoiding fruits and vegetable in the diet, inadequate intake of liquids --leads to ano- rectal problems
Moment you notice any problem, consult your doctor.
Never see quacks( unauthorized and unqualified , self proclaimed practitioners ) for your problems. Always consult qualified specialist from any system of medicine you have faith.
Many medicines cause ano-rectal problems. Unnecessary use of medications, over the counter medicines( medicines bought without doctors prescriptions) should be avoided.
