Care Highlights at GEM Hospital Chennai
What are Piles (Hemorrhoids)?
Piles, medically called hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins located in the lower rectum and anus. They act like varicose veins and can form inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Internal hemorrhoids are classified into four grades based on their degree of prolapse:
Grade 1
Internal hemorrhoids that bleed during bowel movements but do not prolapse outside the anal canal.
Grade 2
Hemorrhoids that protrude during defecation but retract back inside spontaneously.
Grade 3
Prolapsed hemorrhoids that require manual pushing back inside after bowel movements.
Grade 4
Permanently prolapsed hemorrhoids that cannot be manually reduced, carrying risk of strangulation or thrombosis.
Symptoms and Causes of Piles
You do not have to live in pain or silent discomfort. Common signs of piles include:
Painless Bright Red Bleeding
Fresh blood visible on the toilet paper or dripping into the toilet bowl during or after passing stool.
Anal Itching & Irritation
Persistent pruritus ani caused by mucus discharge from swollen hemorrhoidal tissue.
Lump or Mass at the Anus
Tender or painful swelling around the anus, especially in thrombosed external hemorrhoids.
Incomplete Evacuation
A recurring feeling that the bowels have not completely emptied after defecation.
Modern, Painless Treatment Options
Old surgical techniques that caused days of intense pain are now a thing of the past. At GEM Hospital Chennai, we emphasize advanced, minimally invasive proctology:
Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) - Gold Standard
A fine diode laser fiber is inserted into the hemorrhoidal node to coagulate the vessel from within without cutting the sensitive anal skin or sphincter muscles. Benefits include virtually no open wounds, negligible bleeding, same-day discharge, and return to work within 48 hours.
Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy (MIPH)
Ideal for Grade 3 and Grade 4 circumferential prolapsing hemorrhoids. A circular surgical stapler repositions the prolapsed tissue above the pain line, cutting off its blood supply and shrinking the cushions painlessly.
Conservative & Medical Management
For Grade 1 piles, targeted dietary fiber enhancements, adequate hydration, phlebotonic medications, and warm sitz baths frequently resolve symptoms without any surgical intervention.
