View In AppPiles, or hemorrhoids, are swollen veins that can cause bleeding. There are four grades of piles: Grade One involves slight swelling, while Grade Two includes the veins protruding outside the body. For early grades, treatments like injection therapy or rubber band ligation can effectively address the condition. However, if the piles progress to Grade Three or Four, surgical intervention is required. Two surgical options exist: open surgery, which can be performed using traditional methods or laser techniques, or stapler surgery. While results are generally similar across all methods, patients often experience less pain with laser and stapler surgeries. Cost may also influence the choice of treatment, with traditional surgery being the most budget-friendly option. Ultimately, patient preference plays a significant role in the decision-making process.
