Piles (hemorrhoids) affect nearly 50% of adults by age 50, yet most suffer silently due to embarrassment. At SilverStreak Multispeciality Hospital, Sector 87, Gurugram, we’ve transformed thousands of lives through compassionate, advanced piles treatment.
This definitive guide covers:
Piles occur when veins in the anal canal become swollen and inflamed. They develop in two forms:
Internal piles form inside the rectum and may cause painless bleeding. External piles develop under the skin around the anus and can be extremely painful. Many patients experience a mix of both types.
Dr. Paras Kumar Gupta, our lead surgeon, explains: “Patients often dismiss early symptoms as temporary discomfort. By the time they come to us, simple treatments may no longer be effective.”
The most unmistakable symptom is bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement. Many patients first notice this startling sign and initially mistake it for something more serious.
Equally troubling is the persistent itching or irritation around the anal area that refuses to go away with regular hygiene. This discomfort often worsens when sitting for long periods, making office work or driving particularly challenging.
Some patients report feeling a tender swelling or small lump near the anal opening that may be sensitive to touch. Others experience mucus discharge that stains their underwear – an embarrassing symptom that prompts many to seek treatment.
While most piles cases aren’t emergencies, certain warning signs demand prompt medical care:
Excessive bleeding which is painless that soaks through toilet paper or continues between bowel movements warrants urgent evaluation.
Any mass coming out of rectum can warrant an unwanted bleeding and get thrombosed leading to thrombosed piles which require urgent intervention.
Another emergency situation occurs when a prolapsed hemorrhoid won’t retract back inside, risking strangulation of the tissue.
Rahul, a 42-year-old IT professional from Cyber City, shares his experience: “I kept dismissing the bleeding for months, thinking it would resolve on its own. When the bleeding became overt, I finally visited SilverStreak. Their laser treatment not only stopped my suffering but restored my quality of life almost immediately.”
At SilverStreak Hospital, we begin with a comprehensive medical history discussion. Our specialists take time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle factors, and any previous treatments you’ve tried.
The physical examination is conducted with utmost care and professionalism. Using gentle techniques, we inspect the anal area to assess the extent of your condition. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how painless this examination can be when performed by experienced hands.
For internal evaluation, we perform proctoscopy – a quick, minimally uncomfortable procedure using a lighted scope. This allows us to visualize internal hemorrhoids and rule out other conditions. In select cases, we may recommend colonoscopy to ensure there are no other contributing factors.
What sets our diagnostic approach apart is the combination of cutting-edge technology and compassionate care. We understand the embarrassment many feel about piles, which is why we ensure:
Our advanced imaging equipment provides crystal-clear visuals for accurate diagnosis, while our pain management techniques ensure maximum comfort during all procedures.
For mild cases, simple lifestyle changes often bring significant relief:
We emphasize dietary modifications, particularly increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Combined with adequate water consumption (at least 2-3 liters daily), this helps soften stools and reduce straining during bowel movements.
Many patients find comfort in warm sitz baths – a soothing 15-20 minute soak in warm water that reduces inflammation. We may recommend topical ointments for temporary symptom relief while addressing the root cause.
Perhaps most importantly, we coach patients on proper toilet habits:
Minimally Invasive Procedures with Quick Recovery
When conservative measures aren’t enough, we offer several office-based treatments:
Rubber band ligation is our most common non-surgical procedure. A tiny band is placed around the hemorrhoid’s base, cutting off its blood supply. Within days, the hemorrhoid shrinks and falls off painlessly during normal bowel movements.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special solution that causes hemorrhoids to shrink. This nearly painless procedure takes just minutes and requires no recovery time. Infrared coagulation uses targeted heat to seal problematic veins in smaller piles.
These procedures typically:
For larger or more complex hemorrhoids, we offer several surgical solutions:
Our laser piles treatment represents the gold standard for many patients. This precise procedure uses focused laser energy to seal hemorrhoids with:
For circumferential hemorrhoids, we perform stapled hemorrhoidopexy (PPH). This advanced technique:
Traditional hemorrhoidectomy remains an option for severe, prolapsed piles. Even this procedure has been refined with modern techniques that:
Our team brings an exceptional depth of experience to every case. Each surgeon has 10+ years specializing in piles treatment, with advanced training from India’s leading medical institutions.

Most procedures take between 30-90 minutes depending on complexity. You’ll recover in our comfortable post-operative area before being discharged with detailed care instructions.
Recovery varies by procedure but generally follows this pattern:
Non-surgical treatments typically allow immediate return to normal activities. Laser and minimally invasive procedures may involve 1-2 days of mild discomfort before resuming light work.
For more extensive surgeries:
We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and address any concerns during recovery.
The initial recovery period focuses on:
Maintaining a high-fiber diet with adequate fluids to prevent constipation. We provide customized meal plans based on your food preferences and nutritional needs.
Sitz baths remain helpful for comfort during healing. We recommend:
Activity should be light but consistent:
By 4-6 weeks post-treatment:
Most patients experience complete healing with no dietary restrictions. You can gradually reintroduce all foods while paying attention to how your body responds.
Physical activities can resume fully, including:
The risk of recurrence is low with proper habits:
