Piles (Hemorrhoids)
Piles, also known as Arsha, are symptomatic anal cushions that can develop into a pathological state and cause anal bleeding, prolapse, inflammation, and thrombosis.
Everyone has anal cushions, but everyone does not have hemorrhoids. Anal cushions are anatomical structures consisting of blood vessels, smooth muscle, and elastic connective tissue in the submucosa. When there is a disruption in the smooth muscle and the intermingled elastic fibers, it causes prolapse, sliding of the anal cushions.
What are the types of piles?
Piles are classified into internal and external hemorrhoids. The anal canal has a dentate line that divides two forms of anal tissue.
Internal hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids are primarily painless as they occur above the dentate line. You mostly cannot feel or see them. However, irritation or straining at the time of bowel movements can cause painless bleeding or prolapse.
Stages of internal hemorrhoids:
- 1st degree: Remaining inside the anal canal
- 2nd degree: Protruding during bowel movements and reducing spontaneously.
- 3rd degree: Manual repositioning is required
- 4th degree: Hemorrhoids that remain prolapsed outside
External hemorrhoids
External hemorrhoids occur below the dentate line. They are located under the skin and can become discomforting when the blood in the hemorrhoidal plexus clots and swelling irritates the surrounding pain-sensitive skin.
Symptoms of external hemorrhoids:
- Swelling around your anus
- Throbbing pain
What are the causes of piles?
The main cause of piles is abnormal defecation. However, some other causes involve:
- Long periods of sitting can trigger the hemorrhoidal process.
- Wrong sitting position during stool passing can also lead to piles.
- Constipation or diarrhea can cause increased straining during bowel movements, which can lead to piles.
- Obesity may play a role as it puts too much strain on the hemorrhoidal plexus by poor muscle tone or poor posture.
- Piles are often associated with pregnancy due to internal bearing forces and pressure caused during normal vaginal delivery. Also, during pregnancy, women tend to take iron and calcium supplements, which can cause constipation leading to piles.
- Smoking cigarettes during bowel movements may aggravate piles and cause severe internal bleeding of veins in the anus.
- Any activity on which abdominal pressure is increased leads to hemorrhoid, involving excessive squatting, weight lifting, physical exercise, rope skipping.
What are the symptoms of piles?
Pure Piles/ Hemorrhoids are always painless. When it is associated with other conditions like Thrombosis / Haematoma means blood clot, then it can give pain. Symptoms of piles may involve:
- Bleeding from the anus during bowel movements. Initially, it is drop by drop, but it can increase in quantity and reach up to sputter or jet-like flow
- Prolapse
- Itching around the anal opening

Kshara Treatment

Kshara is the preferable ayurvedic piles treatment in Bhuj. It is considered the best approach to treat piles.
Excision of Piles and Ligation of Sutra
In this procedure, the haemorrhoidal tissue is excised (cut) by tying a ligature at the root. It will stop the blood flow to the vein allowing the piles to shrink. It will shrivel and fall off within 10 to 15 days. After all treatments have failed, the doctor will recommend this ayurvedic piles treatment in Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat.
Laser Haemarrhoidopaxy (Laser Piles Treatment)
Many people opt for laser piles treatment in Bhuj. For Grade 2 and early stages of Grade 3 Piles, laser haemarrhoidopaxy is the preferred treatment. This treatment takes around 20 minutes and is done under local anesthesia. A special radially emitting fiber is used to apply laser energy through the natural anal opening. The controlled emission of laser energy causes the vaporization of the haemorrhoidal mass. The cost of laser piles treatment in Bhuj is expensive than other procedures.
Minimal Invasive Procedure for Hemorrhoids (MIPH) – Stapler Method
MIPH has become the treatment of choice for grade 3 and 4 prolapsed piles treatment in Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat. The operation usually takes 25-30 minutes and is performed under spinal or general anesthesia. The mucosa that causes hemorrhoids to prolapse is circumferentially excised with a circular stapler, and the prolapsed hemorrhoids are pulled up to their usual place. The MIPH procedure is expensive than other treatment modalities.
Hemorrhoidectomy
Hemorrhoidectomy is a procedure that removes piles from the body. You will be given local anesthesia to prevent you from feeling pain. The doctor will make incisions in the tissues around the piles. Before extracting the piles, the swollen vein will be tied to avoid bleeding. The doctor will stitch the surgical area shut or leave it open.
Recovery after piles treatment
Piles treatment is an outpatient surgery at our hospital where the patient comes in by 9 am and is discharged by 2 pm. The patient is fully awake during the procedure as it is performed under local anesthesia.
After the procedure, the patient can immediately walk by themselves and go to the recovery room. The patients will have to rest on the day of surgery and move in the periphery from the next day.
