What Are Piles? Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower part of the rectum and anus. They can cause discomfort, pain, itching, and bleeding during bowel movements. Piles are a common condition, affecting millions of people worldwide, and can vary in severity from mild to severe.
Types of Piles:
- Internal Piles
- External Piles
- Prolapsed Piles
Causes of Piles
Piles can develop due to a variety of factors, including:
- Excessive pressure during bowel movements can lead to the development of piles.
- Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea: Both conditions can increase the risk of piles by straining the veins in the rectum.
- The increased pressure in the pelvic area during pregnancy can cause piles.
- Extra weight can put additional pressure on the rectal veins.
- Prolonged Sitting or Standing: Extended periods of sitting or standing can lead to the development of piles.
- Low-Fiber Diet: A diet low in fiber can cause constipation, leading to straining during bowel movements.
- Aging: As you age, the tissues supporting the veins in your rectum and anus can weaken, making piles more likely.

Laser Treatment
Why Choose Laser Treatment? Laser treatment for piles is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that offers numerous benefits over traditional surgical methods. It is highly effective for treating both internal and external piles and is particularly suitable for patients seeking a quick recovery.
During laser treatment, a laser beam is directed at the affected area to remove or shrink the piles. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, and patients can go home the same day. The laser's precision ensures that surrounding tissues are not damaged, leading to a smoother recovery.
After laser treatment, patients may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers. It is essential to follow the doctor’s instructions regarding diet, hydration, and activity to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent the recurrence of piles.
