Piles Treatment in Pune
Piles, or haemorrhoids, are swollen vascular cushions around the anus or lower rectum. Bleeding should not be assumed to be caused by piles without examination.

What to know
Symptoms
Bright red bleeding with bowel movements. Itching, discomfort or a protruding lump.
When to see a doctor
Consult for recurring bleeding, worsening pain or a persistent lump. Seek urgent care for heavy bleeding or faintness.
Diagnosis
A history and gentle examination are usually the first steps. Further tests may be needed to rule out other causes of bleeding.
Treatment options
Fibre, fluids and bowel-habit changes may help. Office procedures and surgery are options for selected cases.
When surgery may be considered
A procedure may be considered for persistent or severe symptoms despite conservative management.
Laparoscopic and robotic options
Laser and other techniques can be discussed where appropriate; no technique is guaranteed painless or recurrence-free.
Recovery and follow-up
Discomfort and recovery time vary by treatment. Your doctor will explain pain control, bowel care and follow-up.
Common questions
Does bleeding always mean piles?
No. Other causes should be excluded based on your symptoms and examination.
Will I need surgery?
Many patients do not. Treatment depends on the grade and symptoms.
