(Piles Disease Symptoms and Effective Treatment Options) Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, affect millions of people globally, causing discomfort, pain, and often embarrassment. While piles are not usually life-threatening, they can severely affect one’s quality of life if not diagnosed and treated properly. In this article, we’ll dive deep into the symptoms, causes, and latest treatment options for piles, with a special focus on Advanced Laser Treatment available at the Colon Care Center in Lahore, led by Dr. Saad Bin Tahir, the pioneer of laser surgery for piles in Pakistan.
Piles are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). Depending on their severity, they may cause bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort.

Recognizing the early signs of piles is key to seeking timely and effective treatment. Symptoms can vary depending on whether the hemorrhoids are internal or external.
Bright red blood after a bowel movement
Painless bleeding
Mucus discharge
Feeling of incomplete evacuation
Pain or discomfort around the anus
Itching or irritation
Swelling or a hard lump near the anus
Bleeding during bowel movements
Understanding the underlying causes of piles can help in prevention and management.
Chronic constipation or diarrhea
Straining during bowel movements
Sitting for long periods on the toilet
Low-fiber diet
Obesity
Pregnancy (due to pressure on rectal veins)
Genetics
A healthcare provider typically diagnoses piles through a physical examination. In the case of internal hemorrhoids, they might use an anoscope or perform a digital rectal exam.
If symptoms are severe or unusual (e.g., persistent bleeding), further investigations such as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy may be recommended.
Depending on the severity of the piles, treatment may vary from lifestyle changes to surgical procedures.
High-fiber diet (vegetables, fruits, whole grains)
Increased water intake
Avoid prolonged sitting or straining
Regular exercise
Over-the-counter stool softeners
Topical creams (hydrocortisone, lidocaine)
Oral pain relievers (acetaminophen, ibuprofen)
Sitz baths for soothing irritation
Rubber band ligation
Sclerotherapy (injection of a solution)
Infrared coagulation
Hemorrhoidectomy (removal of hemorrhoids)
Hemorrhoidopexy (stapling technique)
While effective, traditional surgeries often involve longer recovery times and post-operative pain.
Laser treatment has revolutionized the management of piles, offering a less invasive and more effective solution.
Minimal Pain: Precision laser minimizes nerve damage.
Less Bleeding: Laser cauterizes blood vessels.
Quicker Recovery: Return to normal activities in 2–3 days.
Day-care Procedure: No need for hospital admission.
High Success Rate: Significantly lower chances of recurrence.
No Cuts or Stitches: Leads to faster healing and reduced complications.
