Diagnosis

External piles do not need any special diagnosis as these are visible and can be seen with naked eyes. However, for internal piles, diagnosing them might require a visual inspection and physical examination, which requires feeling around the rectum and anal canal to notice any lumps or unusual growths. Sometimes doctors may use specific instruments like a proctoscope or a sigmoidoscope for a clear visual.

Treatment

• Medicines and topical treatments such as applying a hemorrhoid cream, or ointments are prescribed, especially if your hemorrhoids produce mild discomfort.
• Sclerotherapy where specific liquid is injected into the piles to shrink them.
• Infrared Coagulation, a procedure where infrared light is used to shrink the veins and cut the blood supply to the piles.
• Rubber Band Ligation is a procedure where a rubber band is tied around the piles to cut off its blood flow. As a result, the hemorrhoids will fall off within a week’s time.

Surgery

• At Felix Hospital, the best hospital for piles treatment in Noida, we provide Hemorrhoidectomy, a surgery that cuts out the piles that cause bleeding. It is the most effective and complete way to treat severe or recurring hemorrhoids. There are two types of hemorrhoidectomy: open and closed. In an open haemorrhoidectomy, our doctor makes an incision in the tissue around the haemorrhoid and removes the offending blood vessel.
• In a Closed Hemorrhoidectomy, our doctor removes the haemorrhoids with staples or stitches without making an incision in the surrounding tissue. Stapling generally involves less pain than hemorrhoidectomy and lets you get back to regular activities sooner.

• Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation is the procedure, where the blood supply to the piles is cut using stitches to make them shrink.

Pre Surgery Care

At Felix Hospital, one of the best piles treatment hospitals in Noida, our specialists take care of some key considerations in preparing a patient for piles treatment surgery. These include:

• Based on the patient's general health, the surgeon may start or stop certain medications before the procedure.
• Besides, the patient will be advised to limit alcohol intake and quit smoking before the procedure since it can interfere with healing.
• The patient will be asked to avoid eating or drinking for six hours before the scheduled surgery time. This includes plain water and coffee.

Post Surgery Care & Recovery

At Felix Hospital, the most preferred hospital for piles treatment in Noida, we provide postoperative and follow-up care for the smooth recovery to all our patients who have undergone piles surgery.

Soon after the surgery, the patient will be brought to the recovery unit, where our staff and nurses will keep an eye on the vital signs and recuperation.

Although piles surgery is a minimally invasive procedure, recovery takes time and needs changes in diet and lifestyle to help you heal properly. Pain medications and stool softeners may also be required to recover after piles surgery.

Recovery from piles surgery can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. The timeline of recovery changes based on the size and severity of the medical condition, the type of surgery, and the general health and mobility level.

Therapy

Some other post-operative care tips to follow after piles surgery include the following

• Avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 weeks after the surgery.
• Drink plenty of water and fruit juices after your surgery.
• Avoid constipation.
• Gently clean the anus in the shower after each bowel movement or use wet toilet wipes or water.
• Take a warm sitz bath to alleviate symptoms.
• Exercise regularly to help stimulate bowel movements.

• The primary dietary goal following a piles surgery is the avoidance of constipation. Hardened stools put extreme pressure on the surgical site during bowel movements. In addition, it is caused due to insufficient fiber intake and dehydration. During the first few days of recovery, you should consume a low-residue diet.
• Later, as you begin to heal after your surgery, you can consider a low-fat, high-fiber diet. This diet includes foods rich in soluble fiber, which draws water out of the intestines and helps soften stools.
• Avoid foods that cause constipation, like dairy products, red meat, and processed foods.
