Our Recommendation
Laser, stapled or Doppler-guided care for suitable cases
Early piles may improve with bowel correction and medicines. For persistent bleeding or prolapse, Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty, Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy or DG-HAL can reduce downtime compared with open surgery in suitable cases. Final choice depends on grade and examination.
