What Are Piles (Hemorrhoids)? — Understanding the Condition

Piles — medically called hemorrhoids (haemorrhoids) — are swollen, inflamed veins located in the lower rectum and around the anus. The condition is extremely common, with nearly 1 in 3 adults experiencing piles during their lifetime. In Delhi, it is one of the leading reasons patients consult a piles surgeon in Delhi, piles specialist, or laparoscopic surgeon. Piles can develop as internal piles (inside the anal canal) or external piles (under the skin around the anus). If left untreated, they may progress from Grade I to Grade IV, causing rectal bleeding, prolapsed piles, severe pain, and even anaemia. The good news is that early diagnosis and treatment by an experienced piles doctor in Delhi like Dr. Ashish Vashistha can provide permanent relief using laser piles surgery and laparoscopic piles surgery, offering minimal pain, faster recovery, and same-day discharge.

Warning Signs of Piles — When Should You See a Piles Surgeon in Delhi?

Many patients in Delhi delay consulting a piles doctor out of embarrassment, allowing the condition to progress to a more advanced stage that may require surgery. Recognising the symptoms early can help you receive timely treatment and prevent complications.

Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl after passing stools.

Pain, soreness, or a burning sensation around the anus, especially while sitting.

Persistent itching or irritation in the anal region.

A lump or swelling near the anus that may be painful or painless.

A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying after passing stools.

Mucus or discharge from the anus after a bowel movement.

Tissue protruding from the anus during or after a bowel movement (prolapsed piles).

Chronic fatigue or anaemia caused by ongoing rectal bleeding.

Types & Grades of Piles — Which Grade Are You?

Piles (hemorrhoids) are classified into different grades based on their severity. Understanding your condition helps determine the most effective treatment option, from lifestyle changes to advanced laser or minimally invasive surgery.

I
Grade I – Internal (Mild)

Small swollen veins inside the anal canal that do not prolapse or become visible. Usually managed with dietary changes, medications, sclerotherapy, or infrared coagulation.

II
Grade II – Internal (Moderate)

Larger hemorrhoids that prolapse during bowel movements but return inside on their own. Effective treatments include rubber band ligation, laser hemorrhoidoplasty, or sclerotherapy.

III
Grade III – Prolapsed Piles

Hemorrhoids prolapse during straining and need to be pushed back manually. Advanced procedures such as laser surgery, stapled hemorrhoidopexy (MIPH), or HAL-RAR provide excellent outcomes.

IV
Grade IV – Severe / Thrombosed

Permanently prolapsed hemorrhoids or piles with blood clots (thrombosed). These cases usually require laparoscopic hemorrhoidectomy, laser surgery, or robotic-assisted treatment by an experienced colorectal surgeon.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent complications and help you avoid severe pain, bleeding, and advanced surgical procedures.

What Causes Piles? Risk Factors Common in Delhi's Urban Population

Modern lifestyles, poor eating habits, and prolonged sitting have made piles increasingly common among adults. Understanding the risk factors can help prevent the condition and reduce the chances of recurrence.

Chronic constipation or excessive straining during bowel movements.

Low-fibre diet, processed foods, and inadequate water intake.

Prolonged sitting and a sedentary lifestyle, especially desk jobs.

Obesity or excess body weight increasing pressure on rectal veins.

Pregnancy due to hormonal changes and increased pelvic pressure.

Ageing, which naturally weakens the supporting tissues of the rectum.
