Dr. Piles Clinic is a specialized outpatient clinic focused on evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of anorectal and colorectal conditions, including hemorrhoids (piles), fissures, fistulas, and related benign colorectal disorders. The clinic combines clinical assessment, minimally invasive office procedures, and patient education to deliver compassionate, practical care tailored to adults seeking relief from anorectal symptoms.
History & Expertise
Established to provide focused colorectal care, Dr. Piles Clinic concentrates on conditions often underdiagnosed or treated with delay because of patient embarrassment or confusion about symptoms. The clinic emphasizes careful history-taking, targeted physical examination, and appropriate use of diagnostic tests to arrive at timely, accurate diagnoses.
Clinical Approach
The clinic follows a stepwise approach that prioritizes conservative therapy first and advances to minimally invasive office-based interventions and surgical options only when indicated. Key elements of the approach include:
- Comprehensive symptom review and anorectal examination.
- Shared decision-making with clear explanations of risks, benefits, and alternatives.
- Use of up-to-date, minimally invasive procedures where evidence supports quicker recovery and improved outcomes.
- Continued follow-up and lifestyle counseling to reduce recurrence.
Services Offered
Consultation & Diagnostic Evaluation
Detailed medical history and targeted anorectal examination with use of anoscopy or proctoscopy as needed to identify hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, or other anorectal pathology.
Conservative Medical Management
Personalized plans including dietary fiber recommendations, stool softeners, topical therapies, and patient education on bowel habits to relieve symptoms and promote healing.
Office-Based Procedures
Minimally invasive treatments performed in an outpatient setting such as rubber band ligation for internal hemorrhoids, sclerotherapy, and painless office-based hemorrhoidal procedures designed for rapid return to daily activities.
Minor Surgical Procedures
When conservative and office treatments are insufficient, the clinic offers evaluation and referral or performance of minor surgical interventions — including fistula management and hemorrhoidectomy when clinically necessary — with attention to postoperative pain control and recovery planning.
Fissure and Fistula Care
Targeted therapies for chronic anal fissures (topical nitrates, botulinum toxin where appropriate) and coordinated surgical or referral pathways for complex fistulas involving colorectal surgeons when indicated.
Follow-up & Preventive Counseling
Structured follow-up visits to monitor healing, prevent recurrence, and provide education on diet, hydration, and bowel habits to reduce the risk of future anorectal problems.
