Expert care by Dr. Parth Prajapati · Palanpur, Gujarat
What is Piles (Hemorrhoids)?
Piles (hemorrhoids) are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, bleeding, and pain. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). While common, they often go untreated due to embarrassment — but effective, minimally invasive treatments are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about this condition
Piles (hemorrhoids) are swollen veins in the rectal and anal area. They can cause pain, bleeding, and itching. They are very common and treatable.
Common causes include chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, a low-fiber diet, obesity, pregnancy, and prolonged sitting.
Symptoms include rectal bleeding, pain, swelling around the anus, itching, and mucus discharge.
A doctor can diagnose piles through a physical examination. In some cases, a digital rectal exam or proctoscopy may be needed.
No. Mild cases respond well to dietary changes, medications, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is recommended for severe or recurring cases.
Most patients experience relief within 1–2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 3–4 weeks depending on the procedure.
Recurrence is possible if the underlying causes (constipation, poor diet) are not addressed. Lifestyle changes significantly reduce recurrence risk.
Eat a high-fiber diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, avoid prolonged sitting, and don't strain during bowel movements.
Piles are rarely dangerous but can significantly affect quality of life. In rare cases, chronic bleeding may lead to anemia.
Laser treatment is minimally invasive with significantly less pain compared to traditional surgery. Most patients report only mild discomfort.
