Piles (Hemorrhoids): Causes, Symptoms, and Advanced Treatment
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the lower rectum and anus. They are a common condition and can cause significant discomfort, pain, bleeding, and irritation during bowel movements. While early-stage piles can often be managed with lifestyle changes and medications, advanced or persistent piles may require surgical treatment for lasting relief.
What Are Piles?
Piles develop due to increased pressure in the rectal veins, leading to swelling and inflammation. They are broadly classified into:
Internal piles: Located inside the rectum and may cause painless bleeding
External piles: Located around the anus and can be painful, itchy, or swollen
Piles can affect people of all ages and are commonly associated with bowel habit problems.
Causes and Risk Factors
Common causes of piles include:
Chronic constipation or straining during bowel movements
Prolonged sitting, especially on the toilet
Low-fiber diet
Pregnancy
Obesity
Chronic diarrhea
Heavy lifting
Addressing these factors is important for both treatment and prevention.
When Lifestyle Changes Are Not Enough
Diet modification, exercise, and behavioral changes are the first line of treatment for obesity. However, for many individuals—especially those with severe obesity or obesity‑related medical problems—these measures alone may not provide sustainable results.
In such cases, advanced medical and surgical interventions can play a transformative role in achieving significant and lasting weight loss while improving overall health.
Role of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
Bariatric (weight‑loss) surgery is a proven, scientifically validated treatment for obesity and its related metabolic disorders. These procedures work by altering the digestive system to limit food intake, reduce nutrient absorption, and improve hormonal balance.
Common bariatric procedures include:
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Metabolic surgery for diabetes control
Beyond weight reduction, bariatric surgery has been shown to:
Improve or resolve type 2 diabetes
Reduce blood pressure and cholesterol
Improve fatty liver disease
Relieve acid reflux symptoms
Enhance overall quality of life
