Who needs Piles?
An honest read on your situation — no pressure, no over-treatment.
Recurrent bleeding, a prolapsing lump, pain or anaemia
Heavy bleeding, severe pain, or any change in bowel habit
An honest consultation will tell you clearly whether you need treatment — or simply reassurance.
Common symptoms & how it's diagnosed
Symptoms & causes
The most common symptom is painless, bright-red bleeding during a bowel movement, often with a lump, itching, mucus or discomfort. Chronic constipation and straining, prolonged sitting, pregnancy and a low-fibre diet are the usual contributors.
Diagnosis
Piles are diagnosed by examination and a proctoscopy. Importantly, because bleeding can also be a sign of colon or rectal cancer, a colonoscopy may be advised — especially after age 45 or with any change in bowel habit — to rule out serious causes.
Your treatment journey
Call, WhatsApp or use the form — same-week slots. Share your story and reports.
A thorough assessment and only the tests you genuinely need — no unnecessary investigations.
The least-invasive effective option, explained clearly with costs before you decide.
Laparoscopic technique for a faster recovery, with guided aftercare so you heal well and stay well.
Why laparoscopic & robot-assisted, wherever possible
The right approach depends on your specific case — Dr. Avinash Tank will recommend the least-invasive option that is safe and effective for you.
A traditional larger incision. Still sometimes necessary for very complex, recurrent or emergency cases where laparoscopic access isn't safe.
Small cuts, a camera and fine instruments — less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal life. Our default approach wherever clinically possible.
3D HD vision and wristed instruments for extra precision in complex or narrow-access surgery — available for suitable cases at Dwarika Hospital — Gastro, Bariatric & Laparoscopic Surgery Center.
Early piles improve with a high-fibre diet, fluids and simple measures. Persistent piles are treated with office procedures such as banding, or with modern surgery (laser or stapled haemorrhoidopexy) that is far less painful than traditional surgery and usually done as day care.
Preparing for your procedure
General guidance only — your exact pre-procedure instructions (fasting, medication changes, tests) are confirmed personally by Dr. Avinash Tank's team for your specific case.
Come prepared
- Bring any prior reports, scans or test results
- List your current medications & allergies
- Note when symptoms started and what makes them worse
What to expect
- Any pre-op tests will be explained and arranged for you
- Clear fasting & medication instructions given personally

Arrival
- Arrive at the time your care team confirms

Recovery, diet & exercise
Exact timelines depend on your specific procedure, health and how it's performed — laparoscopic techniques generally mean less pain and a faster return to normal life. Your surgeon will confirm what to expect for your case during consultation.
Most laparoscopic procedures are day-care or short-stay, with a gradual return to light activity within days rather than weeks.
A staged, doctor-guided diet plan supports healing — specific dietary advice is given after your procedure, tailored to what was done.
Light walking is usually encouraged early; more strenuous exercise, driving and office work resume gradually as advised at your follow-up.
