Piles Treatment
in Dubai
The human body has blood vessels supplying blood to the anus( bottom end of your rectum). When these vessels get dilated and suffer blood stasis, they dilate surrounding tissue and the problem starts. You can feel them, which can cause pain, bleeding & also starts coming out of the anus which may cause embarrassment too.
Overall bleeding, prolapsed & painful piles need active treatment by your doctor.
There are two types of piles. Internal piles are inside the anal canal and internal to the anal opening. While External piles are seen outside of the anal opening. Sometimes external and internal piles occur at the same time. Haemorrhoids treatment in Dubai helps you get rid of piles in an effective way.
Why Do People Get Piles?
- Constipation is probably the most common cause. Excessive straining while defecating increases pressure in and around the rectal veins, making them bulge out causing piles.
- Cancerous lesions in the rectum can result in piles as they obstruct blood flow.
- Some women get piles during their pregnancy due to the pressure effects by the uterus on the rectal veins.
- Those who do not eat fibrous food are more likely to get piles.
- The pressure may be caused by sitting or standing for long periods, sneezing, obesity, coughing, vomiting, and heavy weight lifting.
- Elderly people are most likely to get piles as their tissues get weaker with age.
How do you know If You Need Piles Treatment in Dubai?
- Discharge around or at the bottom end(anus) with itching on the skin around the anal opening.
- Pain worsens while you strain to defecate.
- Bleeding when you try to have a bowel movement.
- Protruding of the anal skin even after the bowel moment. The internal piles usually exit during bowel movement and retreat inside once you have finished. But when the condition worsens, the protruded internal piles do not retreat into the anus.
Some Complications Of Piles If Not Treated:
Gangrene: Here the tissues in the piles and nearby skin die due to lack of blood supply.
Fibrosis: Here the piles become fibrosis with the hardening of the anal orifice.
Infection: The infection can spread to the deep veins resulting in septicaemia.
Suppuration: When the piles are suppurated, they can produce an abscess with the discharge of pus.
Thrombosis: Here the blood inside the piles will form clots and can obstruct the blood flow.
Diagnosis Of Piles
If you have bleeding, pain or discomfort in the anus, you should visit a specialist surgeon, as bleeding from the anal region can be a sign of some serious problem like Cancer or Ulcers in the large intestine. The expert doctor of piles treatment in Dubai will diagnose it by doing a physical examination. If required Proctoscopy or sigmoidoscopy is done.
A proctoscope is a hollow tube fitted with a light, which allows seeing the anal canal.
Sigmoidoscope Looks at the lower end of the colon, and a colonoscopy looks at the entire colon. It uses a viewing tube with a light that goes into the rectum
Haemorrhoids (piles) management/treatment.
Let your doctor examine & decide for you which kind or degree of piles do you have as the most appropriate treatment is decided accordingly.
External haemorrhoids (piles) which form & you can feel them outside on anal skin
Can be treated either by
- Conservative treatment
- Hot water sitz bath + medications or by
- External haemorrhoid thrombectomy ( minor procedure)
- If too painful then your doctor can remove the blood clot ( under local anaesthesia – short 15 minutes office procedure)
Internal haemorrhoids
DIFFERENT STAGES OF internal PILES
Internal piles can be classified into grades according to their severity and size:
Grade 1 are small swellings on the inside lining of the anal canal. They cannot be seen or felt from outside the anus. These types of piles are common.
Grade 2 is larger. They may exit out from the anus while bowel movement, but quickly spring back inside again.
Grade 3 hang out from the anus while having a bowel movement. One may feel one or more small, soft lumps that can be pushed back inside the anus with a finger.
Grade 4 permanently hang down from within the anus and does not revert inside.
Conservative procedures / treatment
Rubber band ligation.
In this procedure, tiny rubber bands are placed around the base of the internal haemorrhoid to cut off its circulation. The haemorrhoid, due to the cut-off blood supply, shrinks and falls off within a week.
Injection (sclerotherapy).
Your doctor injects a chemical solution into the haemorrhoid tissue to cause a chemical reaction which leads to fibrosis & shrink it.
Coagulation ( laser or bipolar or IRC).
Coagulation techniques use different energy forms like laser or heat to cause small, bleeding internal haemorrhoids to fibrosis and shrink.
Surgical procedures for Piles treatment in Dubai
If prolapsed, bleeding, grade 3 or 4-degree haemorrhoids ( doctor can tell you after examination with a tube called proctoscope) or, if other procedures haven’t been successful, you may require one of the following surgeries:
Haemorrhoid removal (hemorrhoidectomy).
Choosing one of the various techniques, your surgeon removes excessive tissue that causes bleeding .it can be done by traditional surgery or by laser or by bipolar forceps. The surgery can be done under spinal anaesthesia or general anaesthesia.
Hemorrhoidectomy is the most effective and complete way to treat grade 3 or 4 or recurring haemorrhoids.
Haemorrhoid stapling.
The blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue is blocked in the procedure of stapled hemorrhoidopexy. this method is typically used for treating only the internal haemorrhoids that do or don’t show a prolapse.
When compared to hemorrhoidectomy, this stapling method causes less pain and one can return to his/her daily activities sooner.
HOME TREATMENT TILL YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DOCTOR
- Eat high-fibre foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
- Use topical treatments. over-the-counter haemorrhoid creams also work for treating piles. One can also use suppositories that contain hydrocortisone, or also make use of use pads that contains a numbing agent or witch hazel.
- Soaking oneself in warm water or taking a sitz bath is also recommended.
- Take oral pain relievers.
Majority Of The Hemorrhoids We Treat, The Procedure Is Completed Within About 15 Minutes
The treatment involves no cutting or removal of any tissue, but simply surface energy/laser ablation of the Hemorrhoids or Ultrasound guided ligation of haemorrhoids or combination thereof.
Laser Hemorrhoids treatment is the single best advance that occurred in Hemorrhoids treatment to date. This can be easily done without causing much pain while being quick and quite effective giving permanent results. The patients can resume their daily schedule the same day after taking this treatment.
One-third of Hemorrhoids cases are so advanced by the time that they require an inevitable actual surgery ( hemorrhoidectomy) which can be by standardized way or by laser or by bipolar energy or by stapling under general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia
In hemorrhoidectomy involves the hemorrhoidal masses being removed permanently.
OUR BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU
- For those suffering from grade III and IV haemorrhoids, conventional hemorrhoidectomy is found to be quite effective. But, it takes a significant recovery period and postoperative pain
- The latest options for treating grade III and IV haemorrhoids is haemorrhoid stapling or hemorrhoidopexy. This is an effective technique for treating piles causing potentially less pain and a less recovery time as well so that one can quickly return to his/her daily activities.
- The rubber band ligation method is a viable option for all those who can’t undergo or who do not want to undergo a surgical method to get rid of their haemorrhoid symptoms.
What Is Latest On Horizon In Hemorrhoid Treatment
Stem Cells Treatment
A NEW ERA can be expected with the application of STEM CELLS.
If the family history shows Hemorrhoid diseases, and early symptoms until grade 2 are detected, Stem Cells injections can stabilize the intestinal wall and recreate a good muscle layer, avoiding the wearing out of the Hemorrhoids.
In progressed stages after an operative treatment, a preventive application seems reasonable
The prevention of Hemorrhoids seems this way practicably.
