OVERVIEW
Understanding Piles (Hemorrhoids)
Hemorrhoids (piles) are swollen blood vessels in the anal canal that can cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort, especially during bowel movements. They commonly develop due to straining, prolonged sitting, constipation, or pregnancy. Laser hemorrhoid treatment uses focused laser energy to shrink and seal off the swollen tissue without any cutting, offering a precise, minimally invasive alternative to traditional hemorrhoidectomy — with less pain, less bleeding, and a much quicker recovery.
CANDIDACY
Who Needs This?
Persistent rectal bleeding, pain during bowel movements, itching, or a visible lump around the anus can indicate hemorrhoids. When symptoms don't improve with diet, medication, or lifestyle changes, laser treatment offers a fast, low-pain, permanent solution.

PROCEDURE
Step-by-Step: What Happens During Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery
1
Anesthesia
Local or spinal anesthesia is administered so the procedure is completely pain-free.
2
Laser Application
A thin laser probe is precisely applied to the swollen hemorrhoidal tissue.
3
Tissue Shrinkage
Laser energy seals blood vessels and shrinks the hemorrhoid without cutting.
4
Recovery
No stitches are needed, and most patients go home the same day.
