Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, affect a surprisingly large number of people, but very few people talk about them. Bleeding, pain, and prolapse can make daily life very difficult, but most people try to deal with it on their own with over-the-counter creams for months before getting professional help. GEM Hospital in Chennai and Coimbatore offers advanced pile treatments through a team of experienced colorectal specialists who offer a full range of surgical and non-surgical options. The goal is always long-term relief, not just short-term relief of symptoms. Both centers have the technology and knowledge to make that happen.
ABOUT PILES
Hemorrhoids are veins in the lower rectum and around the anus that are swollen and inflamed. They are basically varicose veins in the anal area. They are classified as internal (within the rectum) or external (beneath the anal skin), and assigned grades I to IV according to severity.
Grade I hemorrhoids stick out a little bit into the anal canal. Grade II prolapse occurs during straining but spontaneously resolves. Grade III prolapse that has to be pushed back by hand. Grade IV prolapses are permanent and cannot be reduced; they almost always need surgery.
Chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, a low-fiber diet, sitting for long periods of time, pregnancy, and being overweight are all strongly linked to the condition. Before suggesting any treatment, GEM Hospital wants to know about your grade and way of life.

Types of Piles
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are classified by their location and the symptoms they cause. At GEM Hospital, we offer individualized treatment for all these types, so that your problem is diagnosed and treated according to your condition.
-
Internal Piles: This type of piles develops in the rectum and is painless. However they can cause symptoms like bleeding when you poop or a sensation of an incomplete bowel movement.
-
External Piles form in the skin around the anus and may result in itching, irritation, swelling, or pain (especially when sitting or during a bowel movement).
-
Thrombosed Piles: When an external pile gets a blood clot inside, it can cause severe pain, inflammation, and swelling that requires immediate intervention.
-
Prolapsed Piles Prolapse means the internal piles protrude out of the anus. Severity dictates whether these retractions are self-resolving or I need to intervene with medical or surgical treatment.
Piles Types
Choices for treatment
Not Surgery:
-
Changing your diet: eating more fiber, drinking enough water, and taking stool softeners.
-
Rubber Band Ligation (RBL): A small rubber band is put at the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. The pile shrinks and falls off in a few days. A quick procedure that usually takes place at a day care.
-
Sclerotherapy: injecting chemicals to make Grade I and II hemorrhoids smaller.
Surgery that doesn't require much cutting:
-
Laser Haemorrhoidoplasty (LHP): Laser energy seals hemorrhoidal tissue very precisely, with very little pain, no open wound, and a quick return to normal activities, usually within 2–3 days.
-
Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy (PPH): A circular stapler moves prolapsed hemorrhoids back into place.This is best for Grade III. Very little pain after surgery; you can go home the same day or the next day.
-
Conventional Haemorrhoidectomy: This is a surgery to remove large or complicated hemorrhoids that are only done on Grade IV hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids that have not responded to other treatments.
