Treatment depends on the type and severity of piles. Mild cases may improve with dietary changes, medicines, and lifestyle measures, while persistent or advanced piles may require procedures such as laser treatment or stapler surgery.
Laser treatment is a minimally invasive option for suitable cases. It may involve less pain and bleeding, smaller wounds, and a faster return to daily activities compared with some traditional surgical procedures.
Recovery depends on the procedure performed and the individual’s health. Many patients can resume normal activities within a few days, while complete recovery may take up to two weeks or longer in some cases.
