Discomfort while passing stool, pain, or bleeding in the anal region are often ignored until they become severe. These symptoms could indicate common but distressing anorectal conditions such as Piles, Fissures, or Fistulas. Understanding their causes, symptoms, and available treatments can help in early diagnosis and faster recovery.
At Vasavi Hospital, our expert General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr. Appala Sudhakar (FMAS, MS – General Surgery), provides safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment options for all anorectal disorders.
What Are Piles, Fissures, and Fistulas?
Piles (Hemorrhoids)
Piles are swollen veins in the rectal or anal area that cause pain, itching, and bleeding.
Common causes:
- Chronic constipation or straining during bowel movements
- Sitting for long periods
- Low-fiber diet
- Pregnancy or obesity
Treatment:
Most cases can be managed through dietary changes, medication, and minimally invasive procedures such as laser or stapler surgery, ensuring quicker recovery and less pain.
Anal Fissures
A fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, leading to severe pain and bleeding during bowel movements.
Causes:
- Passing hard stools
- Chronic diarrhea or constipation
- Trauma during childbirth
Treatment:
Initial stages respond well to creams, warm baths, and stool softeners. Chronic fissures may require lateral sphincterotomy or laser surgery, which are safe and effective options at Vasavi Hospital.
Anal Fistulas
A fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, often resulting from infection or abscess.
Symptoms:
- Persistent discharge or pus
- Pain, swelling, or irritation
- Recurrent infection
Treatment:
At Vasavi Hospital, we use advanced techniques like Fistulectomy or Laser Fistula Surgery, which promote healing with minimal recurrence and discomfort.
