01 / IN SHORT
Piles
explained plainly.
Written for patients, reviewed by the surgeons who perform this treatment.
Piles (haemorrhoids) are swollen blood vessels in and around the anal canal that cause bright-red bleeding, discomfort, swelling and itching. Most improve with diet and minor office procedures; advanced piles are treated with modern, low-pain day-care surgery.
- DEFINITION
- Swollen blood vessels in the anal canal
- WHO
- Very common; linked to constipation, straining, pregnancy, sitting
- SEE A SURGEON
- Recurrent bleeding, a prolapsing lump, pain or anaemia
- URGENCY FLAGS
- Heavy bleeding, severe pain, or any change in bowel habit
What are piles?
Piles are cushions of swollen blood vessels in the lining of the anal canal. They are graded from one to four depending on whether they bleed only, prolapse and reduce on their own, or stay prolapsed. They are extremely common and usually treatable without major surgery.
Symptoms & causes
The most common symptom is painless, bright-red bleeding during a bowel movement, often with a lump, itching, mucus or discomfort. Chronic constipation and straining, prolonged sitting, pregnancy and a low-fibre diet are the usual contributors.
Diagnosis
Piles are diagnosed by examination and a proctoscopy. Importantly, because bleeding can also be a sign of colon or rectal cancer, a colonoscopy may be advised — especially after age 45 or with any change in bowel habit — to rule out serious causes.
Treatment options
Early piles improve with a high-fibre diet, fluids and simple measures. Persistent piles are treated with office procedures such as banding, or with modern surgery (laser or stapled haemorrhoidopexy) that is far less painful than traditional surgery and usually done as day care.

08 / WHY DWARIKA HOSPITALABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Four promises.
One standard.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.
