Piles, Fissure & Fistula

بواسیر، شگاف اور ناسور

Many cases settle without an operation — the printed clinic list says so, and so does the evidence.

Many patients avoid an operation

This is one of the conditions where treatment often succeeds without surgery. Every case differs, though — and if an operation is genuinely the right course, you will be told so plainly rather than kept on treatment.

About this condition

Piles, anal fissure and fistula are among the conditions patients most want to avoid surgery for, and early-grade piles and fissures frequently do settle with treatment, dietary correction and relief of constipation. Advanced prolapsed piles and established fistula are a different matter and will be referred honestly.

Important

Rectal bleeding must never be assumed to be piles, especially after 40 or with weight loss or a change in bowel habit. Ask for a colonoscopy to exclude bowel cancer.

Symptoms we see

  • Bright red bleeding after passing stool
  • Pain or burning on defecation
  • A lump felt at the back passage
  • Itching and moisture
  • Feeling of incomplete evacuation
  • Pain persisting long after stool

Not every patient has every symptom — and the combination present is precisely what determines the remedy.
