An Awareness Article by Sukhayu Hospital – Sukham: A Step Towards Anorectal Wellness
Piles, also known as Hemorrhoids, are one of the most common anorectal conditions affecting people of all ages. At Sukhayu Hospital, located at Patil Lane No. 1, Canada Corner, Nashik, our dedicated Sukham initiative focuses on providing modern, minimally invasive, and evidence-based care for piles and other anorectal issues.
Let’s understand what Piles are and how they can be treated effectively.
✅ What Are Piles (Hemorrhoids)?
Piles are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. They are similar to varicose veins and can occur either internally (inside the rectum) or externally (under the skin around the anus).
🔍 What Causes Piles?
Some common causes include:
- Chronic constipation or straining during bowel movements
- Sitting for long periods on the toilet
- Low-fiber diet
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Obesity or sedentary lifestyle
- Genetics
⚠️ Common Symptoms
- Painless bleeding during bowel movements
- Itching or irritation in the anal region
- Discomfort, pain, or swelling around the anus
- A lump near the anus that may be sensitive or painful
If left untreated, piles can become chronic and more painful.
💊 How Are Piles Treated?
🔹 1. Medical (Non-Surgical) Management
- Dietary Changes: High-fiber foods, plenty of fluids
- Medications:
- Stool softeners to reduce straining
- Topical creams with hydrocortisone or lidocaine
- Oral anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications
- Lifestyle Advice: Avoid prolonged sitting, improve toilet habits
🔹 2. Minimally Invasive & Surgical Treatments
At Sukhayu Hospital, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive options:
- Rubber Band Ligation: Cutting off blood supply to the pile
- Infrared Coagulation (IRC): Using heat to shrink hemorrhoids
- Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP): Bloodless, stitchless surgery
- Stapler Hemorrhoidectomy: For prolapsed hemorrhoids
- Conventional Hemorrhoidectomy: In advanced or complicated cases
These treatments offer quick recovery, minimal pain, and less recurrence.
🔹 3. Supportive Ayurvedic Care (Post-Surgical)
While our primary approach is modern and surgical, we also offer supportive Ayurvedic care such as:
- Sitz baths with herbal decoctions
- Digestive regulation through herbs
- Pain-relieving Ayurvedic ointments
These therapies help enhance healing and prevent recurrence.
