Hemorrhoids or Piles are dilated veins in the anus, they look like abnormal lumps, they cause one of three common symptoms: Pain, bleeding or repeated inflammatory attacks and prolapse.

Not all Hemorrhoids are equal and treated equally, some are purely internal, some are pure external hemorrhoids which can develop a blood clot in them after prolonged sitting and cause severe pain necessitating urgent intervention, and some are mixed. Most hemorrhoids are the mixed type and advanced in stage by the time a patient seeks medical help.

They are classified in four grades or stages. Niraml hospital is one of the best Piles Clinic in Satara, Provides the best Piles treatment in Satara

Grades of Hemorrhoids

Causes of Hemorrhoids

• Increase in abdominal pressure during pregnancy, childbirth & weight-lifting
• Jobs which require long hours of sitting/standing like software Engineers, drivers, conductors, tailors etc
• Low fiber diet – intake of less than 30 grams of fiber per day
• Obesity – because excessive weight puts pressure on the veins of the rectum and anus

Diagnosis of Hemorrhoids

Your doctor may be able to see if you have external hemorrhoids simply by looking. Tests and procedures to diagnose internal hemorrhoids may include examination of your anal canal and rectum:

• Digital examination. During a digital rectal exam, your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum. He or she feels for anything unusual, such as growths. The exam can suggest to your doctor whether further testing is needed.
• Visual inspection. Because internal hemorrhoids are often too soft to be felt during a rectal exam, your doctor may also examine the lower portion of your colon and rectum with proctoscope, video rectoscope or sigmoidoscopy.

Your doctor may want to examine your entire colon using colonoscopy if:

• Your signs and symptoms suggest you might have another digestive system disease like IBS, ulcerative colitis, etc.
• You have risk factors for colorectal cancer
• You are middle-aged and haven’t had a recent colonoscopy

 2. Advanced Stage Piles Treatments in Satara

 B. Injection (sclerotherapy).

In this procedure, we inject a chemical solution into the hemorrhoid tissue to shrink it. The injection causes little to no pain.

 C. LigaSure Hemorrhoidectomy

The confined thermal dispersion allows the surgeon to perform a relatively bloodless surgery and reduce the anal spasm which responsible for most pain after hemorrhoidectomy. Besides, LigaSure electrosurgical unit stops energy delivery as soon as the tissue sealing is complete. LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy is considered now superior to conventional hemorrhoidectomy.

Procedure: In LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy, after the hemorrhoids are prolapsed out from the anal canal with an artery forceps, LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy will be performed by applying the LigaSure forceps close to the edge of each pile. Repeated applications of the device will be performed, and excision will be continued into the anal canal, lifting the pile from the internal anal sphincter to the level of the vascular pedicle, which will be finally divided.

 E. External Hemorrhoid Thrombectomy

If a painful blood clot (thrombosis) has formed within external hemorrhoid, removal of the clot with a simple incision and drainage under local anesthesia is recommended, which may provide prompt relief. This procedure is most effective if done within 72 hours of developing a clot.

After your treatment, the nurse will go over few instructions and you will be given a prescription for few medications and an appointment for a postoperative checkup few days later.
