Piles Are More Common Than You Think And More Treatable Than You Fear

Millions of people in India live with piles (haemorrhoids) in silence  embarrassed to talk about it, hoping it'll go away on its own. The good news? Modern piles treatment is painless, fast, and highly effective.

What Are Piles and Why Do They Happen? 

Piles are veins that have become swollen in the rectum or around the anus. They happen when there is too much pressure from straining during bowel movements, being constipated for a long time, being pregnant, or just sitting for a long time. They're very common, and about one in three adults will have them at some point in their lives.

If you're looking for expert piles treatment in Chennai or experienced piles doctors in Chennai, you're making the right choice by seeking help sooner rather than later.

Recognising the Symptoms

• Bleeding during bowel movements (bright red blood on tissue or in toilet)
• Itching, discomfort, or pain around the anus
• A lump near the anus tender or painless
• A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying

Treatment: From Lifestyle to Surgery

Not all piles need surgery. Not all piles need to be cut off. Diet changes, fiber supplements, and topical medications often work well for mild cases. But people with Grade 3 and 4 hemorrhoids usually need help.

At Gem Hospital, we offer a variety of minimally invasive procedures, such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and laser hemorrhoidoplasty. All of these can be done in a day and have little downtime. Most people go home the same day and are back to work in 2 to 3 days.

Stop Suffering in Silence

We know this isn't the easiest thing to talk about, but our colorectal specialists at Gem Hospital make it easy for you to talk about your symptoms without fear of being judged. We've helped thousands of people in Chennai feel better for a long time, and we're ready to help you too.

Keep in mind that piles can get worse over time if they aren't treated. Early treatment leads to less pain, a faster recovery, and better results.
