Overview
Making lifestyle adjustments like eating more fiber, drinking plenty of water, and exercising frequently is commonly the first step in treating piles (hemorrhoids). Symptoms can be alleviated by over-the-counter medications such suppositories and lotions. Pain and swelling can be decreased with cold compresses and warm sitz baths. Medical treatments include sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation, or surgery could be required for more serious cases. To control and prevent piles, it’s also critical to practice excellent hygiene and refrain from straining when bowel motions occur. Seeking advice from a healthcare professional is essential for customized care.
What are the types of piles surgery?
To cure piles (hemorrhoids), various surgical techniques are available, with varying degrees of severance and suitability for different situations. The primary categories are as follows:
1.Hemorrhoidectomy:
- Description: Surgical removal of hemorrhoids.
- Method: Involves cutting out the hemorrhoids and may require stitches.
- Use: Typically for large or severe hemorrhoids that do not respond to other treatments.
- Recovery: May involve a longer recovery time and post-operative pain.
2. Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy:
- Description: Involves stapling the hemorrhoids and repositioning them.
- Method: A circular stapling device is used to cut off blood flow to the hemorrhoids and reposition the tissue.
- Use: Suitable for internal hemorrhoids, less invasive than traditional hemorrhoidectomy.
- Recovery: Generally results in less post-operative pain and a quicker recovery.
3. Rubber Band Ligation:
- Description: A non-surgical procedure where a rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid.
- Method: The band cuts off the blood supply, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and fall off.
- Use: Effective for internal hemorrhoids that are not too large.
- Recovery: Usually involves minimal discomfort and a short recovery period.
4. Sclerotherapy:
- Description: Injection of a chemical solution into the hemorrhoid to shrink it.
- Method: The solution causes the hemorrhoid tissue to harden and shrink.
- Use: Often used for smaller internal hemorrhoids.
- Recovery: Minimal downtime, though multiple sessions may be required.
