What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in the anus and lower rectum. They are very common and can affect both men and women, often linked to diet, lifestyle, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting.
While they are not usually dangerous, hemorrhoids can cause significant pain, bleeding, and disruption to daily life if left untreated.

Causes of Hemorrhoids :

Several factors increase the risk of hemorrhoids, including:

  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea.
  • Straining during bowel movements.
  • Sitting for long periods on the toilet.
  • Low-fiber diet.
  • Pregnancy, due to pressure in the pelvic area.
  • Aging, as tissues become weaker with time.
  • Obesity and sedentary lifestyle.

Symptoms of Hemorrhoids

Symptoms vary depending on type and severity, but common signs include:

  • Bleeding during or after bowel movements

  • Itching or irritation in the anal region

  • Pain or discomfort, especially while sitting

  • Swelling or a lump near the anus

  • Mucus discharge

  • Prolapse (when internal hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus)

Types of Hemorrhoids

1. External Hemorrhoids

  • Located under the skin around the anus

  • Can cause severe pain, swelling, itching, and bleeding

  • Thrombosed external hemorrhoids (when blood clots form inside) are especially painful and may require urgent care

2. Internal Hemorrhoids

  • Located inside the rectum and often painless

  • Usually present with painless bleeding during bowel movements

  • May prolapse (protrude outside the anus), causing discomfort, irritation, and hygiene difficulties

Advanced Treatment at Swift – Biolitec Laser Hemorrhoid Therapy

At Swift Day Surgery Center, we are proud to use Biolitec Laser technology, a next-generation, minimally invasive treatment that offers patients effective, long-term relief without the downsides of traditional surgery.

 How the Biolitec Laser Works

  • A precise laser fiber is applied directly inside the hemorrhoidal tissue.

  • The laser energy causes the hemorrhoid to shrink from within and seals the blood vessels.

  • Surrounding healthy tissue remains unaffected.

  • The treated hemorrhoid gradually shrinks and symptoms resolve.

Key Benefits of Biolitec Laser Therapy

  • Minimally invasive – no major incisions, minimal tissue damage.

  • Significantly less pain compared to conventional hemorrhoidectomy.

  • Minimal bleeding – laser seals blood vessels instantly.

  • Same-day procedure – performed under local or general anesthesia in less than an hour.

  • Fast recovery – most patients return to work and normal activities within a few days.

  • Lower recurrence rates compared to traditional techniques.

Cosmetically favorable – no external cuts or stitches.

Traditional Treatment Options

For mild cases, conservative management may help:

  • Lifestyle adjustments: High-fiber diet, increased water intake, avoiding prolonged sitting.
  • Topical medications: Creams, ointments, and suppositories for pain and swelling.
  • Minimally invasive office procedures:
    • Rubber band ligation (cutting off blood supply).
    • Sclerotherapy (injection to shrink hemorrhoids).
    • Infrared coagulation (burning the tissue).

However, these options may provide only temporary relief, and hemorrhoids can often recur.
