Piles (hemorrhoids) are common swellings that form inside and around the anal canal. There is a huge network of small veins within the lining of the anal canal.

Piles (hemorrhoids) are common swellings that form inside and around the anal canal. There is a huge network of small veins within the lining of the anal canal. These veins sometimes become wider with more blood than usual. As a result, the swollen veins and overlying tissue may develop into one or more swellings (piles).
Piles can be classified into two main types based on their location within the rectum and where the swollen veins form. The types include:
Internal piles form inside the anal canal but might hang down and come out of the anus. They are graded based on the location within the rectum and where the swollen vein develops.
External piles are swellings that grow further down the anal canal, closer to the anus. They can be extremely painful, especially if they have a blood clot.
It is possible to have both internal and external piles simultaneously.
Symptoms of piles include:
Things that make piles more likely include the following:
A proctologist can easily diagnose piles based on medical history and a physical exam. In addition, they can diagnose external piles by inspecting the area around the anus. Your proctologist can also conduct a digital rectal exam to diagnose internal piles. In this diagnostic test, the doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to look for abnormalities in the anal canal and rectum. They can also perform procedures like anoscopy and rigid proctosigmoidoscopy to inspect the rectum and anus.
Depending on the severity, piles are graded from grades 1 to 4. Generally, grade 1 and grade 2 piles can be treated without any surgery, while grades 3 and 4 require surgery for treatment. Treatment for piles can be surgical and non-surgical.
Laser surgery is one of the safest surgeries to treat piles. It is a less invasive outpatient procedure that uses a narrow laser beam to shrink or remove the affected tissue without harming the nearby healthy tissue. This treatment option is preferred because it holds several benefits. It is the preferred treatment option for piles for both doctors and patients. During the procedure, the surgeon focuses a narrow beam of light on the tissues, disrupts the blood flow, and allows the tissues to fall off. Laser surgery for piles is a daycare procedure where the patient can be discharged within 24 hours. The recovery after the surgery is also short and hassle-free.
Laser surgery for piles is quite popular these days because of the following advantages:

Knowing when to seek professional help for any medical condition is extremely important, and piles is no exception. Obtaining medical help at the right time can help you avoid any further risks and complications. If you experience any of the following conditions or complications, consult an experienced and skilled proctologist at your nearest piles hospital in Pune.
A proctologist is a specialized doctor who can diagnose and treat numerous anorectal conditions, including piles. A proctologist focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus. In addition, they are seen for complex lower digestive tract problems or when surgery is required to treat the patient. To find the best doctor for piles in Pune, you must thoroughly research the qualifications and other skills of a piles specialist. Here are some things you need to consider before choosing your doctor for piles treatment in Pune:
All medical doctors, including proctologists, must earn a bachelor's degree from an accredited college. In addition, proctologists are required to attend a four-year medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). They are also required to complete a hospital residency in general surgery.
A proctologist should be able to effectively and safely diagnose and treat numerous diseases related to the anus, colon, and rectum. Some of the skills and qualities that a proctologist is expected to possess include:
Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find a good and reliable proctologist in Pune, but you can also study online reviews and get a better idea of whether the doctor meets your needs. Online reviews give you a better idea of the doctor's strengths and weaknesses without relying on word-of-mouth.
You don’t want to choose a proctologist just to find out they have a history of scamming patients. Therefore, checking out the proctologists’ malpractice and disciplinary history is essential before making a final decision.
Qualifications of medical specialists who can treat piles include:
