What Are Piles (Bawaseer)? – Understanding the Condition
Piles, medically known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. When the veins in this area become enlarged due to pressure, strain, or poor diet, they form hemorrhoids — which can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort during bowel movements.
In simple terms, piles are to the anal region what varicose veins are to the legs — enlarged blood vessels that have lost their normal function.
Types of Piles
- Internal Piles – Located inside the rectum, usually painless but cause bleeding
- External Piles – Located outside the anal opening, painful and visible
- Mixed Piles – A combination of both internal and external hemorrhoids
- Prolapsed Piles – Internal piles that have slipped outside the anal canal (Grade 3–4)
Piles are graded from Grade 1 (mild, no prolapse) to Grade 4 (permanently prolapsed). Early diagnosis and treatment prevent the condition from reaching a severe stage requiring complex surgery.
Symptoms of Piles – When to Seek Help
Recognizing the symptoms of piles early can prevent complications and reduce the need for invasive surgery. The most common symptoms include:
- Bright red bleeding during or after bowel movements (most common sign)
- Pain, burning, or discomfort around the anal area
- Itching or irritation in and around the anus
- Swelling or a lump near the anus (tender to touch in external piles)
- A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
- Mucous discharge after passing stool
- Soiling of undergarments in advanced cases
Important: If you notice rectal bleeding, do not ignore it. While it is commonly caused by piles, it can also be a sign of other conditions including colorectal cancer. A timely consultation with a specialist like Prof. Dr. Manoj Sonkar ensures accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.
Causes & Risk Factors of Piles
Piles develop when increased pressure is placed on the veins in the lower rectum and anus. Common causes include:
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea leading to prolonged straining
- Low-fibre diet — common in urban Kanpur due to processed food consumption
- Sedentary lifestyle with long hours of sitting (office workers, drivers)
- Pregnancy — increased abdominal pressure causes venous swelling
- Obesity and excess body weight
- Heavy lifting or strenuous physical work
- Family history of hemorrhoids
- Ageing — tissues supporting anal veins weaken over time
Patients from areas like Govind Nagar, Rawatpur, Barra, and Panki who follow desk-heavy jobs or consume low-fibre diets are particularly at risk. Lifestyle modification combined with medical treatment gives the best long-term results.
Diagnosis of Piles in Kanpur
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective piles treatment. Prof. Dr. Manoj Sonkar follows a structured, patient-friendly diagnostic protocol:
- Clinical History & Physical Examination – Detailed assessment of symptoms, duration, and severity
- Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) – Gentle manual examination to detect internal abnormalities
- Proctoscopy – A short, lighted instrument used to examine the lower rectum and hemorrhoids directly
- Sigmoidoscopy or Colonoscopy – Recommended when ruling out other conditions like polyps or colorectal cancer, especially in patients above 40
Most patients are diagnosed and have a treatment plan ready within a single consultation visit. The clinic is equipped with modern diagnostic tools to ensure fast and accurate results.
Piles Treatment Options in Kanpur
Not every patient needs surgery. Prof. Dr. Manoj Sonkar evaluates each patient individually and recommends the most appropriate treatment based on grade, severity, and overall health. Treatment options range from conservative management to advanced laser surgery.
Conservative Treatment (Grade 1–2)
- High-fibre diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
- Adequate water intake (2.5–3 litres per day)
- Sitz baths — warm water soaking to reduce swelling and pain
- Medicated creams, suppositories, and stool softeners
- Lifestyle modifications — avoiding prolonged sitting, regular physical activity
Non-Surgical Procedures (Grade 2–3)
- Rubber Band Ligation – A small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off
- Sclerotherapy – An injection is given into the hemorrhoid to shrink it
- Infrared Coagulation (IRC) – Heat energy is used to clot the blood vessels within the hemorrhoid
Surgical Treatment (Grade 3–4)
- Hemorrhoidectomy – Traditional open surgery to remove hemorrhoidal tissue; effective but longer recovery
- Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy (PPH) – A circular stapler repositions and reduces blood flow to prolapsed hemorrhoids
- Laser Piles Surgery – The most advanced, minimally invasive option (see featured section below)
Laser Piles Treatment in Kanpur – Advanced, Painless & Fast Recovery
Laser piles treatment is the gold standard in modern proctology. Prof. Dr. Manoj Sonkar, a trained Laser Proctologist, brings this technology to patients across Kanpur — offering a significantly better experience compared to traditional open surgery.
What Is Laser Piles Treatment?
In laser hemorrhoid surgery, a focused beam of laser energy is directed precisely at the hemorrhoidal tissue. The laser coagulates the blood vessels, causing the piles to shrink and eventually disappear — all without any major incisions or stitches.
Benefits of Laser Piles Surgery Over Traditional Surgery

The Laser Procedure – Step by Step
- Pre-procedure evaluation and anaesthesia (local or spinal)
- Laser probe is gently inserted and positioned at the hemorrhoidal tissue
- Controlled laser energy shrinks and destroys hemorrhoidal tissue with precision
- Procedure completed in 20–30 minutes
- Patient rests for 2–4 hours and is discharged the same day
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Laser Treatment?
- Patients with Grade 1 to Grade 4 piles
