Most people don’t talk about piles—and I get why. It’s not easy to bring up, and many just hope it’ll go away on its own. But what I’ve seen, again and again, are patients who’ve quietly lived with pain, itching, or bleeding for far too long. Some come in after a few weeks, others after struggling for years. And almost every time, after treatment, they say the same thing:
Piles may not be a serious condition, but they can be a nightmare for you daily. I have patients who simply gave up going on trips, going to social events, or even changing their work, all to cope with the pain.
What Are Piles and Why Do They Happen?
Piles (otherwise called hemorrhoids) are rectal (or anal) swollen background with expanded blood vessels.
There are two types. Internal piles are inside and usually painless, but can bleed. External ones are under the skin near the anal opening—they hurt, itch, and sometimes form visible lumps.
Now, the cause? Often it’s constipation, sitting for too long, not drinking enough water, or a low-fiber diet. Pregnancy is another common trigger. Sometimes, it just runs in families. But in most cases, lifestyle plays a big role.
Common Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
Most patients come in describing:
- Blood during bowel movements
- Pain while passing stool
- Itching or discomfort around the anus
- A lump that’s painful or swollen
- A constant feeling of incomplete evacuation
Mild cases may settle with diet changes and hydration. But when it keeps coming back—or if it’s making your daily routine miserable—you need more than home remedies.
What Causes Piles?
When the blood vessels around the anus or lower rectum get overloaded, too much pressure is put on these vessels. Piles start to form when these blood vessels swell due to pressure within the blood vessels. You could be surprised to know how common the activities that may induce piles are. Things such as a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, or remaining in one position for too long can set the stage and go unnoticed.
Here are some of the most common causes:
- Chronic diarrhoea – The area can get strained from frequent bowel movements.
- Constipation – The rectal veins can get strained and add pressure due to stressful bowel movements.
- Lifting heavy objects – This can trigger pressure in the lower body and, tapering the lower body can strain against the blood vessels outside and make them swell.
- Pregnancy – Hormonal and physical changes in the body may cause swelling of veins.
- Being overweight – Increased weight adds extra pressure veins of the pelvic region.
- Anal intercourse – The anal region can be stressed or irritated from this action.
Checking your phone whilst sitting on the toilet for too long – It may sound harmless, but further sitting increases blood flow to that region which puts undue strain on the blood vessels. Piles are not always caused by something you do “wrong"; they can just happen. Being aware of the causes can help make small lifestyle adjustments to reduce the risk of developing them.
Is Surgery the Only Way Out?
Not always. If it’s in the early stage, we start with non-surgical care—more fiber, more fluids, stool softeners, and sitz baths. But these are temporary fixes. If your piles are large, bleeding often, or affecting your quality of life, then treatment becomes necessary.
That’s where piles treatment comes in.
Laser Treatment for Piles in Noida: Why It Works So Well
Laser surgery for piles is simple, effective, and far more comfortable than old methods. There’s no big cut, no stitches. We use a focused laser beam to shrink the swollen tissue. It’s quick, precise, and patients go home the same day.
Here’s what to expect:
- Minimal pain
- No stitches
- Very little bleeding
- Fast recovery—usually back to normal within 3 to 5 days
We’ve done this procedure for people from all walks of life—students, teachers, cab drivers, software engineers. Some were anxious, some just tired of suffering. All left feeling relieved and, honestly, wondering why they waited so long.
Does Piles Surgery Hurt?
That’s a question I hear a lot. The honest answer? Not much. There may be slight discomfort for a day or two, but most patients tell me it’s far less than what they were already living with. We give simple medications to manage pain, and you’re up and moving the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare After Piles Surgery
You’ll be walking around the same day. Light work can usually resume within two days. Full healing takes a week or two. We keep aftercare simple—light diet, hydration, stool softeners, and a quick follow-up.
And no, you won’t be wrapped in messy dressings or stuck in a hospital bed.

Will It Come Back?
If you follow the aftercare properly—eat enough fiber, stay hydrated, keep moving—the chances of piles coming back are quite low. But if old habits creep in again, the problem can return. That’s why I don’t just treat and send you off—I stay involved. I guide each patient even after surgery to make sure they heal well and avoid future trouble.
Piles don’t threaten your life, but they do take a quiet toll. That nagging pain. Skipping meals out of fear. Dreading the bathroom every morning. If that’s become your normal, let’s change it.
Come talk to me. No pressure. No judgment. Just an honest conversation about what’s going on and what we can do to make it better. It might be easier than you think.
