Treatment of Piles

Laser Piles Treatment: How It Works, Who Qualifies & Recovery

Laser haemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) uses a precisely focused laser beam to cauterise and shrink haemorrhoidal tissue from inside the anal canal — no large cuts, no conventional stitches and same-day discharge in eligible cases. Suitability is confirmed by grade, prolapse severity and examination.

Key Treatment Points

How Laser Piles Treatment Works

A thin laser fibre is introduced into the haemorrhoidal tissue through the natural anal canal. The laser energy cauterises blood vessels, reduces swelling and shrinks the haemorrhoidal mass without cutting surrounding tissue.

Laser energy seals blood vessels and shrinks haemorrhoidal tissue

No large incisions — entry through the natural anal opening

Local or spinal anaesthesia — minimal post-procedure pain

Significant reduction in bleeding, prolapse and recurrence risk

Who Is Suitable for Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is most effective for Grade II and Grade III internal piles with persistent bleeding or recurrent prolapse. Grade IV, dominant external disease or thrombosis may need a different or combined approach.

Grade II–III internal piles with bleeding or prolapse

Symptoms persisting despite 6–8 weeks of diet and medicines

No active anorectal infection or thrombosis at the time of procedure

Examination and anoscopy confirm suitability before booking

Recovery After Laser Piles Treatment

Recovery is faster than conventional haemorrhoidectomy. Most patients manage with simple medicines, a high-fibre diet and avoiding straining. Regular follow-up confirms complete healing.

Resume light activity within 1–2 days

Return to desk work typically in 3–5 days

High-fibre diet and 8–10 glasses of water daily

Attend follow-up — report fever, heavy bleeding or worsening pain promptly
