Call Now: +91 7353530505

 


Noticing bright red blood after passing stool can be worrying. Many people immediately assume it is piles (haemorrhoids). However, rectal bleeding should never be self-diagnosed, as several conditions can cause similar symptoms.

Piles are swollen blood vessels around the anus or lower rectum. Common symptoms include bright red bleeding during or after bowel movements, itching, swelling, discomfort and a lump near the anus.

However, anal fissures, inflammation and other bowel conditions can also cause rectal bleeding. Identifying the actual cause is essential before choosing treatment.

Common Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

Watch out for:

  • Bright red blood after passing stool

  • Itching or irritation around the anus

  • Pain or discomfort during bowel movements

  • Swelling or a lump near the anal opening

  • Repeated episodes of rectal bleeding

Heavy or continuous bleeding, dizziness, fainting or severe pain requires urgent medical attention.

Why Is Proper Diagnosis Important?

Using creams or medication without knowing the cause may delay appropriate treatment. A medical evaluation helps identify whether the symptoms are due to piles, an anal fissure or another condition.

Depending on the diagnosis and severity, piles treatment may include dietary and lifestyle changes, medication, office-based procedures or surgery.

Is laser piles treatment always better? Not necessarily. Laser treatment may be suitable for selected patients, but the right approach depends on the type and severity of the condition.

3 Questions to Ask Your Surgeon Before Agreeing to Surgery!

Image
Call Now: +91 7353530505 Being told that you may need surgery can immediately lead to a long list of questions. Do I really need surgery?  Are there other treatment options? What will recovery actually be like?  Can I wait? What are the risks?  How soon can I return to work? These are reasonable questions—and patients should feel comfortable asking them. Before planned surgery, the goal should not be to simply understand the name of the procedure. You should understand why it is being recommended, what alternatives may exist and what you can realistically expect afterward. The NHS specifically recommends that patients discuss treatment alternatives, the reason surgery is being recommended, potential benefits and risks, who will perform the operation, anaesthesia, hospital stay and recovery before proceeding. Here are three questions that can help you have a more meaningful conversation with your surgeon. 1. Do I Definitely Need Surgery? This should be ...

A Corn on Your Foot Isn't Always “Just a Corn.”

Image
Call Now: +91 73535 30505 A small, hard patch on your foot may seem harmless. But if a foot corn is painful, keeps returning, or changes the way you walk, it may be a sign that something underneath the skin needs attention.   A corn is a localized area of thickened skin that commonly develops because of repeated pressure or friction, such as from footwear. Foot deformities can also create pressure points that contribute to recurring corns. Why Does a Corn Keep Coming Back? Simply removing the thickened skin may provide temporary relief. However, if the underlying pressure point, footwear problem or foot abnormality remains, the corn can return.   That's why recurring corns shouldn't always be treated as a cosmetic problem. Don't Try “Bathroom Surgery” Cutting or shaving a corn yourself can cause cuts, infection and further complications. This is particularly important for people with diabetes, because nerve damage can reduce sensation and make foot injuries harder to not...
