Can piles be cured permanently?

FAQ

Yes, piles (also known as hemorrhoids) can be cured permanently in some cases. The treatment of piles depends on the severity and type of hemorrhoids.

In mild cases, piles can be treated with simple lifestyle modifications, such as increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of fluids, exercising regularly, and avoiding straining during bowel movements. Over-the-counter medications such as creams, ointments, and suppositories can also provide relief from symptoms.

In more severe cases, medical intervention may be necessary. Treatment options for more severe cases of piles include:

  1. Rubber band ligation: a small rubber band is tied around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off the blood supply, which causes the hemorrhoid to shrink and fall off.
  2. Sclerotherapy: a chemical solution is injected into the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and disappear.
  3. Infrared coagulation: a special device is used to apply heat to the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and disappear.
  4. Hemorrhoidectomy: surgical removal of the hemorrhoid.

In some cases, these treatments may permanently cure piles. However, it is important to maintain healthy bowel habits and lifestyle modifications to prevent piles from recurring. It is also important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment options for your specific case.
