Persistent pain or discomfort around the anal region
Bright red blood during or after bowel movements
A feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation

How is Piles Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is usually simple and can be done during a physical examination. Doctors may recommend:

Visual examination: Checking external piles around the anus
Digital rectal exam: Using a gloved, lubricated finger to feel inside the rectum
Proctoscopy/anoscopy: A small tube with light is inserted to view internal hemorrhoids
Colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy: Suggested in severe or recurrent cases to rule out other conditions

Recovery Time

Recovery depends on the treatment method. With laser piles surgery, most patients resume normal activities in 2–3 days, while full recovery takes about a week. Conventional surgery may take 2–3 weeks to heal completely. Conservative treatment methods like medications or diet changes provide symptom relief but may not cure advanced piles.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before: The doctor conducts tests, evaluates symptoms, and explains the procedure. You may be advised to fast before surgery.

During: Laser piles treatment is performed under anesthesia. A laser beam targets hemorrhoids, shrinking and sealing them with precision. The procedure takes about 30–45 minutes.

After: You can go home the same day. Mild discomfort may be present but is manageable with medicines. Patients are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids and follow a fiber-rich diet.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Day 1–3: Mild pain and swelling, easily managed with prescribed medicines.
First week: Patients resume normal routines. Heavy lifting should be avoided.
Week 2 onwards: Most patients experience complete relief.
By Week 3–4: Healing is complete, and lifestyle adjustments help prevent recurrence.
