• Itching or irritation in the anal region

Treatment Approaches for Piles

Treatment for piles depends on their severity and type. It often starts with lifestyle changes and progresses to medical procedures if needed.

1. Non-Surgical Treatment

• Dietary Changes : Increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to soften stools and prevent straining.
  
  
• Hydration : Drinking plenty of water daily to keep stools soft.
  
  
• Lifestyle Modifications : Avoiding prolonged sitting on the toilet, not straining during bowel movements, and regular physical activity.
  
  
• Sitz Baths : Soaking the anal area in warm water for 15-20 minutes several times a day to relieve pain and itching.
  
  
  

2. Surgical Treatment Options

For more severe or persistent piles, surgical interventions may be recommended. HexaHealth partners with hospitals that offer advanced and minimally invasive surgical solutions.

• Hemorrhoidectomy : This is a surgical removal of excess tissue that causes bleeding and protrusion. It is often effective for large or severe piles.
  
  
• Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy (PPH) : This procedure blocks blood flow to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. It is less painful than traditional hemorrhoidectomy.
  
  
• Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) : A modern, minimally invasive technique where a laser fiber is used to shrink the hemorrhoidal tissue. This often results in less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal downtime. Many HexaHealth partner hospitals offer this advanced treatment.
