Mandy asks…

have piles. Sometimes bleeds. Any remedy? munibun@yahoo.com?

Suffering from piles since one year. When I take pilex it subsides. when I stop taking "Pilex" (ayurvedic medicine) bleeding and slight pain resurface. Is there any permanent remedy. I take jowar bread, vegetables, pulsesand sometimes chicken. I avoid mutton, spices and wheat.

admin answers:

Piles, or hemorrhoids, are areas in the anal canal where the tissue, which contains lots of blood vessels, has become swollen. They can be internal, occurring inside the anus, or external, when they can be seen and felt on the outside of the anus. When visible they look like round pink swellings, the size of a pea or a grape. Piles are common in pregnant women, but are rare in children.

Piles are classified according to their position. First-degree piles remain inside the rectum or anal canal. Second-degree piles protrude (or prolapse) from the anus when the bowels are opened, but return of their own accord afterwards. Third-degree piles are similar, but only return inside when pushed back. Fourth-degree piles hang permanently outside the anus.

Piles can usually be treated at home. The most important element in encouraging existing piles to clear up is to avoid constipation. By having regular bowel movements, and avoiding straining, stools pass easily and do not put pressure on the blood vessels in the anal area.

Eating plenty of fibre-rich foods such as fruit, vegetables and wholegrain cereals (eg brown rice, wholemeal bread), and drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, should keep bowel movements soft.

Avoid rich and spicy food, non-vegtarian food,strict no to pickles

It may help to take a fibre supplement or mild laxatives which soften bowel motions.

Homeopathy greatly helps in curing piles specially the 1st 2nd and 3rd degree piles and no surgery should be thought of till homeopathy has been tried. Some of the most commonly used medicines in treating piles are:
Hamamelis ?Q: very very useful in controlling bleeding caused due to piles
Aesculus: hip-piles with acute pain in the back
Collinsonia: chronic painful bleeding piles with pain as if sticks were placed in the rectum.
Graphitis: for piles and fissures with hard stools
Ratanhia: pain as if splinters of glass were sticking in the rectum
Other commonly used medicines are Sulphur, Nux. Vomica, silicea etc.

Head Remedy is:

Sulphur 30 & Nux. Vomica 30
Sulphur 30 to be take 3-4 drops in 1/4th glass of water; preferably empty stomached; early in the morning.
Nux. Vomica 30 to be take 3-4 drops in 1/4th glass of water; preferably empty stomached; 30-45 minutes after dinner/before going to bed.

Sandy asks…

Is Piles curable without any surgery?Any home remides / oniment that can help ?

Piles i understand are of two types namely external & internal , need to know if they are external and bleeding while passing stools what is the best remedy to ease the pain , itchiness, discomfort.

admin answers:

Hemorrhoids, which are also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and rectum. They may result from straining during a bowel movement. Apart from surgery for this you can apply some creams, which will give you only temporary relief. HEDENSA is once such cream available in India and you can apply.

Hemorrhoids can develop from any increase in pressure in the veins in the lower rectum. Common sources of pressure and hemorrhoid causes include:

-Constipation and the accompanying straining
-Diarrhea and the continuous expulsion of loose stools
-Sitting or standing for a long time, especially sitting on the toilet
-Obesity

You can also temporarily relieve the mild pain, swelling and inflammation of most hemorrhoidal flare-ups with the following self-care measures:

- Use topical treatments. Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a topical numbing agent.
- Keep the anal area clean. Bathe (preferably) or shower daily to cleanse the skin around your anus gently with warm water. Soap isn't necessary and may aggravate the problem. Gently drying the area with a hair dryer after bathing can minimize moisture, which can cause irritation.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath. Do this several times daily.
Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on the anus to relieve swelling.
- Use a sitz bath with warm water. A sitz bath fits over the toilet. You can get one at a medical supply store or some pharmacies.
Don't use dry toilet paper. Instead, to help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol.
- Take oral medications. You can use acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) temporarily to help relieve your discomfort.
- These self-care measures may relieve the symptoms, but they won't make the hemorrhoid disappear. See your doctor if you don't get relief in a few days, or sooner if you have severe pain or bleeding.
- Avoid constipation as it is the only main reason for getting piles.
- Also avoid intake of spicy foods. Take fibre rich food.
- Drink plenty of liquids, waters and it will help a lot.

I think you can avoid and have less suffering from Pile and also cure it in long run. -

Susan asks…

I have piles and need help finding a remedy?

I've had them for more than 10 years, they itch every night then get sore and bleed when I pass a movement, at night a clear sort of liquid comes out my bottom which irritates it more. I've been to see so many doctors who are unwilling to operate and fob me off with suppositories and cream which don't work, help!

admin answers:

You could try a complementary therapy such as Chinese herbal medicine or homeopathy.
I found Gillian Mckeiths book, You are What you eat, really good. There's a section on piles with natural remedies and what to eat and what to avoid. Try and avoid wheat, dairy, red meat and highly processed foods. It is really hard to do, but it does pay off. I also follow G.Mckeith's list of foods which are gentle on the stomach (also in that book), its really helped.

Michael asks…

Does anyone get piles during pregnancy?

i am in 5th month and got piles...second stage i guess....never got before..doc told tat it will disappear after my delivery...is tat true? she gave me an ointment(shield) and told to put salt water over there..it pains oly wen i pass stool..no bleeding also..its small now, will it get bigger? waiting for some home remedies and suggestions..

admin answers:

Welcome to pregnancy. It happens to a lot of women. I had the same problem my last pregnancy. If they are making you uncomfortable go and buy some witch hazel to dab on the areas. They can get bigger from the strain of the baby on your bowels, and constipation/straining during a bowel movement can also aggravate them. Try to make sure you drink plenty of water, eat a lot of fiber, and if they get too bad you can get a stool softener (NOT a laxative) to help you to be able to have a bowel movement a lot easier.

Charles asks…

What do you think of Mahmoud darwish?s poem?

You who are crossing among passing words, carry your names and leave! And withdrew your hours from our time, and leave! And take what ever you want from the blueness of the sea and the sand of memory! And take whatever pictures you want so you would know that you will never know how a rock from our land build the ceiling of the sky! You who are crossing among passing words, from you the sword and from us our blood, from you the steel and fire and from us our flesh, from you another tank and from us a rock, from you a gas grenade and from us the rain, and on us what?s on you from the sky and the air, so take your share of our blood and leave! And enter a dancing dinner party and leave! And it?s on us, we, to guard the martyrs roses, And it?s on us, we, to live as we want to live. You who are crossing among passing words, like a bitter dust cross where ever you want but don?t cross among us like flying insects, for we have in our land what to do, and we have wheat to grow and to water it with the dew of our bodies, and we have what do not satisfy you here, a rock or a partridge, so take the past if you wish to the antique market, and bring back the skeleton of the hoopoe on a ceramic dish, we have what don?t satisfy you, we have the future and we have in our land what to do! You who are crossing among passing words, pile up your illusions in a deserted hole and leave! And return the time pointer to the legitimacy of the sacred calf or to the timing of the pistol?s music, for we have what don?t satisfy you here, so leave! And we have what?s not in you, a bleeding homeland and a bleeding people, a homeland that?s good for forgetting or for memory. You who are crossing among passing words, it is time for you to leave, and dwell where ever you want but don?t dwell among us, it is time for you to leave, and die where ever you want but don?t die among us, for we have in our land what to do, and we have the past here, and we have the first voice of life, and we have the present and the present and the future, and we have the nearlife here and the hereafter! So go out from our land, from our shore, from our sea, from our wheat, from our salt, from our wound, from every thing, and go out from the memories of the memory, you who are crossing among passing words!

Thomas asks…

Is it normal for me to see reds fleshy 'flaps' protruding from my 2 year old's rectum when he pushes a poo out?

This is my middle son and have never seen or heard about anything like this before. It looks almost like i expect an internal body valve to look like (hazy biology lessons about the heart).
Seems to be 3 small flaps which overlap each other and open up when he pushes a poo out. They are very red but they don't bleed and don't look like piles as they are all the same size and shape.
I have been keeping an eye on them over the last couple of weeks since first spotting them and there is no change in their appearance. Have had a look at anatomy pictures online but can't see anything which looks like these.
I'm not really worried, more curious. He doesn't complain that his bum hurts or is itchy.
I will take him to the doctors to be on the safe side but that won't be until next week now so was wondering if anyone else out there knew what i was looking at.
Cheers

Joseph asks…

Suspected animal killing neighbors... need some advice...?

This is long, so please just bear with me. I really need some advice.

Let me start out by saying, that a month ago, we had five, healthy, happy cats. I live with my mom in a small neighborhood, free of crime, and not a lot of traffic. A few months ago, new neighbors moved in across the street. I don't want to sound rude, but they were very trashy. They have garbage piling up outside their backdoor, they don't mow their grass, there's probably four adults and four children living there. They're loud and drive crappy cars. This doesn't bother me, and I don't mean to judge, but I'm pretty upset here. Anyways, my boyfriend and I went to the beach for five days and came back on July 15th. The day after we got back, we found Chester, our five year old yellow tabby, no health problems and perfectly healthy, just dead beside our front porch beside a bush. He had a slit to his mouth and cheek, with a little blood from that. He was bloated, being in the sun for a few hours before we found him. He had no other markings. We assumed he had gotten hit in the road, suffered internal bleeding, and dragged himself into the yard, and died. We found no blood in the street, nor in the place he died or around it. I suspected the neighbors then, but tried to be logical and put two and two together. We burried him under a maple tree in our yard, said our goodbyes, and began the long journey of accepting the death of a beloved pet.

About two in a half weeks later, just today, around 1 pm, my boyfriend arrived at my house. He told me Snowie was dead, at the end of our driveway. I went outside, and sure enough, she was. She was on the very edge of the road, soaking wet, and freezing cold. It was about 90 outside today, and while it rained early this morning (around 5), it is now very sunny, warm, and very hot. She was found in the sun, but yet she was soaking wet. No blood, no markings on her at all, just soaking wet and cold, despite being in direct sunlight. Our neighbors, whom we suspect, have two pools in their backyard. She had not been run over, she had not been hit.

My mom and boyfriend are on their way to Wythville, Va right now. There is a lab there that does autopsy's for animals. We want to get to the bottom of this. I'm hoping the deaths are natural causes, of course. I want that piece of mind. We got pictures of her, the place she was found, pictures of the pool in the backyard (in case they take it down) and pictures of their cars in the driveway, showing that they were there at the time. Just in case, as evidence if we need it. My question is, what happens now? Is this just us being paranoid, or do I have a real reason to suspect these people we don't know? I have three cats remaining, plus two dogs that have a big fenced in yard outside, but they go in and out as they please. Until we find out what's going on, we're keeping the animals inside. What should I do? Should I worry? Should I get more evidence? How? What steps do I need to take that, if she was drowned, to convict them?
Any advice or words to help would be greatly appriciated... thank you so much.

admin answers:

I'm sorry for the loss of your two cats.
It's unusual for two cats to just die like that. There are a lot of people that really hate cats and would rather see them dead. I suppose I would be suspicious, but you have no proof. Keep your animals inside and check with other neighbors to see if any of their pets have died recently. Pay attention to what goes on across the street. You might want to talk to the neighbors that have a backyard bordering these neighbors and see if they see anything suspicious.

John asks…

please let me know what you think of this?

SLAUGHTER ON THE ICE (Shall we do it you and I?) Rolf Harris
Some ordinary man with a baseball bat stands over them and bashes in their heads.
They're babies,
Helpless babies.
Oh he's very, very careful as he slits from infant navel up to chin line. Least I imagine that's the method - I've never really watched the way a mother would.
Perhaps I should have done, then I could tell you every detail of the peeling of the skin and of the dumping of the smashed head, little naked, bleeding body, in an ever growing pile upon the ice . . .
Shall we intercept this killer and dispose of him together, you and I?
Would you let him say a word in his defence?
Would you let him say a word in his defence?
"It's a job" (it's a job!)
"It's a living" (that's a laugh!)
"In their natural environment - why half these little shavers wouldn't make it to adulthood,
I'm just merely helping nature keep the balance. If I didn't, someone else would."
"No good blaming me, man.
No one questions the Eskimos, been killing 'em for ages."
The Inuit, my friend - he was killing for survival. He didn't have a twenty thousand tonner to transport him. He hunted from a kayak with a quiet desperation and he used up every scraping of his kill. The skin he wore to warm him and the sinew made his bow string and the bone was shaped for arrow head and fishing hook and bow. The meat provided food for all the family's existence.
Then some designer comes along and says "That outfit looks so cute and we could sure create a fashion out o' him!"
So the caps and capes and coats and gloves and stoles and knee length boots are all promoted in the glossy magazines . . .
. . . And all the crappy little souvenirs that flood across the market - little seal with button-eyes and with a corkscrew up its grommet and no mention of the slaughter on the ice . . .
. . . P'raps a postcard of a bloody trail of naked little carcasses, lying there and rotting, isn't nice.
"Ah they never know what hits 'em, and I'll guarantee they're dead - well as near as makes no difference - honest . . . and we get 'em when they're babies 'cause they need the skins that colour, hey, the biggest laugh about it is, they stand and watch you coming - there's no sign of any danger there at all . . . and there's tons and tons of orders stretching months and months ahead!"
Shall we take this callous killer and dispose of him together, you and I?
Does no good to smash his head in, although that would please me muchly, but another ten would come to earn his wage.
No, the only way to do it is to shun the sealskin product, leave it lie and rot in warehouse and in factory and boutique. Maybe next year at this time, we can face the spring together, with a picture free of infant killing baseball batting b******s with the knowledge that the bottom's dropped right out of all this misery, and kids have got a prospect of a family of their own, in the years they have ahead.
Shall we do it, you and I?

Mandy asks…

Tell me some specific and effective cure for bleeding piles?

admin answers:

Sitz baths, sitting in a tub of very warm water; emollients applied after a BM, Vaseline Intensive Care being effective and inexpensive; Preparation H.; mineral oil and other stool softeners plus a high fiber diet make defecation more comfortable. All these give temporary relief.

Unfortunately, many hemorrhoids recur and become more bothersome so that the patient opts for surgery. I'm told that newer techniques often allow for more rapid post-op recovery. A proctologist may be your best option.

Try soaking in warm to hot baths every night. It works a little better if salt is added to the water. Out of all the treatments, this one worked the best.

If you cannot get to a bath, sometimes sitting on a heating pad helps.

I do not know how to recieve help for my medical bills.?

Medicaid will not help me because I am not pregnant nor do I have a minor child. I have no idea how to pay these bills, no insurance company will cover me because of my pre-existing condition. Someone please help me these bills just keep piling up.

Speak to your financial department at the hospital or medical centre where these bills are piling up. Set up a payment plan that is comfortable for you..not one that makes them happy and ends up crippling you. As long as you're making a payment, even if it's as small as $5 a month, you're holding up your end of the bargain and they can't complain. If they start to harrass you then consult a lawyer because that is illegal.

laser surgery for piles is has any side effects?

recently i did a laser surgery for my second degree piles .i am living in cochin kerala my specialist told me that there is no option otherthan surgery as per his advise i did laser treatment from his speciality hospital now i am taking rest and i understood that it was a wrong decesion anyhow now ia want to know that is there any side effect there like unexpected discharge of sttol or gas with sound ? is there any problem there for taking weight in future if somebody had this laser surgery before please share your opnion

friend: dont' worry , take some right amount exercise , then you will feel better please
maybe it is use for you :
If there is a choice, patients will not opt for hemorrhoids laser surgery as a solution to their problem. There are too many horror stories of the excruciating pain of the surgery and the long recuperation periods.
There are five types of hemorrhoid surgery. Three are used for external hemorrhoids- hemorrhoidectomy, laser coagulation and infrared photocoagulation. Injection sclerotherapy and rubber band ligation are used for internal hemorrhoids. These hemorrhoids are not curable with ointments and other non-surgical methods. The help of laser surgery is needed for getting rid of these hemorrhoids.
What is Hemorrhoids Laser surgery?

Hemorrhoids laser surgery is a process where skilled surgeons use laser light with pinpoint accuracy. During this procedure the unwanted hemorrhoid is simply vaporized or excised.

The laser beam is infinitely small, which allows for precision and accuracy. This helps facilitate rapid and unimpaired healing.

Earlier procedures involved laser coagulation, an electric current applied to the hemorrhoid through an electrode probe. The hemorrhoid went through a chemical reaction that stopped blood flow to the area and allowed the swollen tissue to shrink.

But now surgeons are using a more sophisticated laser in hemorrhoids laser surgery. This laser provides pinpoint accuracy for vaporizing or removing various types of hemorrhoids.

What are the advantages of hemorrhoids laser surgery?

The surgery results in less discomfort. The use of medication is also decreased and the healing process is much faster. Usually a hospital stay is not required and the patient is released in a few hours.

The laser is inherently therapeutic and enables the sealing of nerves and tiny blood vessels. This is done with the help of an invisible light. Post operative discomfort is also something the patient is relieved of, since sealing superficial nerve endings minimizes this discomfort.

The proctologist closes the tiny blood vessels, which keeps the operation in a controlled and bloodless environment. The entire procedure is comparatively less painful and uncomfortable for both the patient and the doctor. The procedure is much quicker, which is a relief for both the doctor and the patient. Hemorrhoids laser surgery is used alone or in combination with other modalities.
Side effects of hemorrhoids laser surgery

Even laser surgical procedures have certain side effects such as infection, under correction and over correction. But sometimes you don't have a choice, and the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.

good luck to you , Merry christmas and Happy new year !

Are You Making The 3 Mistakes That Contribute To Hemorrhoids ?

Piles In Delhi

admin — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 04:30:55 +0000

Why Indians don't care about their country?

Why Indians don't care about their country? Even though India is a developing country, couldn't it be cleaner? Why all Indians litter and spit on the streets? Do they not care about cleanliness or world representation of their country? Yes perhaps the roads are developing and the economy is rising, but how will India ever be clean and green if the people don't change their habits? There are piles of trash and many random corners of the streets (especially in Mumbai). Most parts of Delhi are cleaner but still, why don't Indians understand? It's such a normal thing to just throw everything on the ground. How will India ever be beautiful? Why would any foreigner want to visit India? Even outside the Taj Mahal, people litter. At northern Indian palaces, people litter. The culture is great and the landscapes are vast so why can't they love their own country for the diversity it offers?

Chira,

The fact that you and other young Indians notice this and are upset is a good thing. Change comes for the youth of a country. Old men have old ways, they are too far gone to change. But you are young and full of hope. If all the youth get together and make changes, things will happen...

When I was a kid, we lived in the rough part of town. Things weren't so nice. People were dirty and did not care. So my father and a few other men in the neighborhood started walking around and cleaning up. A little at first. But more and more people got into the act. We painted the outside of poor peoples houses. We cut their grass and picked up the garbage. And we succeed in bringing this neighborhood back. It took hard work, from volunteers, to make it a better place.

Change comes when you get together. One voice is tiny, but many are a roar. The youth of your country need to DEMAND change. And then take action. Its easier said then done. But in the end, nothing worth having or doing is ever easy. Good luck!

Piles Haemmorhoids

Most of us that are living a working life nowadays are sitting still all day long in the office in front of the computer monitors, which is one of the very important factors that cause piles, or hemorrhoids, to grow. Piles Treatment is one of those phrases that people are unwilling to mention, but the chances are that a pretty large part of us will have to deal with it during our already hard adult life. It would be of great significance if you master the techniques and keep good habits in order to stay away from piles in the first place or get rid of them if you are with them now. This article is intended to provide some of the fundamentals when it comes to short term as well as long term piles treatment.

Ice is not only good for bruises and injuries to slow the blood flow down so that you feel better, but also take effect for bleeding piles as a good immediate piles treatment. The working principle is the same. However, you cannot keep ice handy all the time.

Medicine that is bought over the counter in the pharmacists' can have good short term effects, too. However, the "short term" here is different from the above mentioned "immediate". It might take effect in hours and last for days or weeks.

You will never be satisfied with immediate and short term results. Long term is exactly what you are looking for as far as piles treatment is concerned. Just like doing everything long term in our lives, habits are always the factors that contribute to it. Including fiber rich foods in your daily diets and more water in your drinking would do good for stopping constipation which is the major reason for hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid Treatment - Hemorrhoids

Thrombosed Piles Pregnancy

admin — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:14:17 +0000

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, is a common ano-rectal condition typically developing between the ages of 20 and 50. Up to 50% of people above the age of 50 suffer from hemorrhoids to some degree or other.

Hemorrhoids is basically a condition in which the veins around the anus and lower rectum become swollen and inflamed.

Hemorrhoids are classified either as being:

Internal - where the hemorrhoids occur inside the rectum. These are generally painless as there are no pain receptors in this region, and most people are unaware of their presence. They occasionally bleed when the veins rupture due to excessive straining or the passage of hard stools.
External - where they occur below the anal verge (where pain receptors are present). These tend to be visible and a lump may be felt. External hemorrhoids are prone to thrombosis (blot clot forms inside the pile). When this happens, sudden pain is experienced.

Hemorrhoids are also classified according to their degree of prolapse:

Grade I - internal hemorrhoids, not prolapsed.
Grade II - piles are pushed out (prolapsed) on straining, but spontaneously reduce.
Grade III - piles prolapse on straining, and have to be pushed back manually.
Grade IV - piles are prolapsed and cannot be manually reduced.

SYMPTOMS:

Bleeding is the earliest symptom. At first, it is minimal fresh bleeding, occurring during defaecation as a "splash in the pan", or seen on the toilet paper after wiping.

Prolapse is a much later symptom, progressing from Grade II to IV if the underlying cause is not managed. Prolapsed piles can become trapped outside the anal opening if the anal sphincter muscle goes into spasm. Should this happen, blood supply to the hemorrhoid, gets cut off and the pile becomes strangulated.

External hemorrhoids can cause irritation to the skin resulting in itching. As mentioned earlier, external piles can become thrombosed causing significant pain.

CAUSES:

In general, anything that causes frequent, sustained increase in pressure in the ano-rectal region, can cause hemorrhoids to develop. They include:

Spending a long time sitting or squatting during defaecation.
Excessive straining due to constipation.
Pregnancy and childbirth.
Obesity
Portal Hypertension - causing increased back pressure to the rectal veins.

PREVENTION:

Ensure you drink sufficient fluids, take in more fibre, exercise and establish regular bowel movement habits, all to help prevent constipation. This is especially so during advanced pregnancy. Sometimes, medication may be required to ensure smooth passage of stools.

Do not spend too long sitting at the toilet bowl during defaecation. Be as efficient as possible.

There is some evidence which suggests that squatting commodes are better than the sitting ones in reducing or preventing hemorrhoids.

DIAGNOSIS:

Hemorrhoids can be diagnosed via a thorough physical examination by your doctor. External hemorrhoids may be clearly visible. Internal hemorrhoids require insertion of a proctoscope for visualization, as being soft, internal piles cannot be felt by an examining finger.

It is worth remembering that not all bleeding during defaecation is due to piles. It may be a sign of something more sinister, such as colon cancer, which may co-exist or exist independently of piles. Hence, your doctor may advise for you to have a colonoscope to exclude more serious conditions in your colon, if you have:

Signs and symptoms of a more sinister cause
Risk factors for colon cancer, such a a positive family history
You are above 50 years of age (or younger in high risk groups) presenting with rectal bleeding

TREATMENT:

Home Remedies

Increase fluid and fibre intake to prevent constipation
Warm Sitz baths, several times a day to soothe painful, inflammed external piles. Sit in a tub filled a few inches of warm water 3 times a day and after each bowel movement for at least 15 minutes. Thoroughly dry the skin after each session.

Medication

To treat and prevent constipation
Topical creams, ointments and suppositories to reduce inflammation and discomfort
Oral medication to shrink the hemorrhoids
Oral medication to manage pain and inflammation eg. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Surgical Treatment

Thrombosed piles can be treated with a simple excision to bring quick relief.
Rubber band ligation - tiny rubber bands are placed at the base of the internal pile to cut off its blood supply. The pile withers and falls off after a few days. This procedure is generally not painful (though may be a little uncomfortable) because it is placed in a region devoid of pain receptors.
Injection (sclerotherapy) - chemicals are injected into the pile to cause it shrink. Also generally a painless procedure.
Hemorrhoidectomy - surgical excision of the pile is recommended for severe hemorrhoids.
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy - resection of soft tissue above the dentate line, thus disrupting blood flow to the hemorrhoid. Much less painful than traditional hemorrhoidectomy and has faster recovery time.
Transanal Haemorrhoidal Dearterialisation (THD) - a precise, ultrasound-guided ligation of the blood vessels which supply the piles. Much less painful than traditional hemorrhoidectory with shorter downtime.

So, if you think you may have piles, do consult your doctor. Once he has excluded more serious conditions, he will be able to recommend the most appropriate treatment for you, depending on the nature and type of hemorrhoids you have.
