Treatment for piles (hemorrhoids) involves various approaches depending on the severity and symptoms. Mild cases can often be managed with lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements. Over-the-counter creams, ointments, or suppositories may also help alleviate symptoms. For more severe cases, medical procedures might be necessary, including: - Rubber band ligation: Cutting off circulation to internal hemorrhoids. - Sclerotherapy: Injecting a solution into the hemorrhoid to shrink it. - Infrared coagulation: Using heat to cause scar tissue and cut off blood supply. - Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal for large or external hemorrhoids. - Stapled hemorrhoidopexy: A procedure to staple prolapsed hemorrhoids back into place. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
