Advanced Piles Surgery

People who are afflicted with chronic constipation can develop piles due to the exertion of pressure while passing stools. This exertion of pressure causes swelling in the anus and the anal canal which are known as hemorrhoids. The condition of piles occurs when there is an inflammation in the hemorrhoids. The factors that increase one’s risk of developing the condition of piles include old age, genetics, pregnancy and chronic constipation.

Piles are divided mainly into two types; internal and external piles. Patients can be afflicted by this condition at different degrees. Therefore, a range of treatments and procedures are available to help you treat and deal with piles.

The treatment of piles includes changes in diet and lifestyle such as eating a fibrous diet, drinking plenty of water as well as regularizing bowel movements. The non-surgical procedures for treating piles are banding, sclerotherapy, and Infrared coagulation.

The surgical procedures for the treatment for piles include a hemorrhoidectomy and hemorrhoid stapling. A hemorrhoidectomy is a conventional surgery for piles, which involves cutting and removing the hemorrhoids from the body. In the procedure of stapling of the hemorrhoids, the doctor staples the large intestines, thus causing them to shrink and fall away. Stapling the hemorrhoids is an alternative method that can lead to certain complications.
