Advanced laser treatment by Dr. Kamalakkhannan
Pain, bleeding during bowel movements, itching or swelling around the anal region could be signs of piles. We provide advanced laser treatment that is safe, minimally invasive and designed for faster recovery.
The best treatment depends on the severity. Early-stage piles often improve with a high-fibre diet, adequate water and medication. Advanced or recurring cases usually benefit from laser treatment, a day-care procedure with no major cuts or stitches, minimal pain and a return to routine activities within a few days.
Understanding the Condition
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. Everyone has these blood vessels — they act as cushions that help control bowel movements. Problems begin when they become enlarged and inflamed.
They can cause discomfort, pain, itching and bleeding during bowel movements. Piles are broadly grouped as internal, which form inside the rectum and often bleed painlessly, and external, which form under the skin around the anus and tend to be more painful.
Piles are extremely common and highly treatable. The important thing is not to ignore the symptoms — early diagnosis can prevent complications and reduce the need for extensive treatment.
Warning Signs
Rectal bleeding should never be self-diagnosed. While piles are the most common cause, bleeding can also point to other conditions that need to be ruled out. If you notice bleeding, book an evaluation rather than treating it at home.
Severity
Internal piles are graded by how far they protrude. The grade guides which treatment is appropriate.
Swelling stays inside. Often only painless bleeding. Usually managed with diet and medication.
Protrudes while straining, then goes back without help. Often treatable without major surgery.
Protrudes and stays out until manually replaced. Laser treatment is commonly recommended.
Cannot be pushed back and may be painful. Needs prompt surgical evaluation.
Treatment
Laser treatment is one of the most advanced methods available for piles management. A fine laser fibre seals the blood vessels feeding the pile, which shrinks over the following weeks — with no major cuts and no open wound.
| Laser treatment | Conventional surgery | |
|---|---|---|
| Cuts and stitches | None required | Open wound and sutures |
| Pain afterwards | Usually mild | Often significant for days |
| Hospital stay | Day care in most cases | Typically overnight or longer |
| Return to work | Within a few days | Often two weeks or more |
| Bleeding during procedure | Minimal | More |
| Wound care at home | Minimal | Regular dressing needed |
Individual outcomes vary. Suitability for laser treatment is decided after clinical examination.
