Laser Surgery In Piles!

Piles are swellings that occur inside or around the anus. The other name for Piles is Hemorrhoids. They are a group of inflamed tissues in the anal canal. They contain blood vessels, support tissue, muscle along with elastic fibres. Internal piles are usually located between 2 and 4 centimetres above the opening of the anus and they happen to be the more common type. External ones occur on the outer edge of the anus.

Before looking at the tips for laser surgery in Piles, let us briefly discuss the symptoms and causes of Piles.

Symptoms

In most of the cases, the symptoms of piles are not that serious. They tend to resolve normally on their own after a few days. An individual suffering from piles can experience the following symptoms:

• Hard, painful lumps are felt around the anus. They may contain coagulated blood.
• A person suffering from piles can have a feeling that the bowels are still full, even after passing a stool.
• Bright red blood is noticed after a bowel movement.
• The region around the anus tends to be itchy, red and sore.
• People with the problem of Piles can experience pain while passing stool.

Causes

Piles are mainly caused by having an increased pressure in the lower rectum. The blood vessels around the anus and the rectum tend to stretch under pressure. They may swell up or bulge, leading to the formation of piles. This can happen due to:

• Acute Constipation
• Chronic Diarrhoea
• Lifting up of heavyweights
• Pregnancy
• Strain while passing a stool

The problem of developing Piles can well be inherited and increases with age.
