Abstract

The treatment of piles should aim to reduce the abundant hemorrhoidal tissue in accordance with the stage (1. degree-3. degrees). In all cases an attempt should be made to regulate bowel function while avoiding straining. A high fibre diet is advised or a bulk laxative may be necessary. Advice on anal hygiene is given. If this treatment fails, infrared coagulation or injection sclerotherapy is indicated. Second or second to third degree hemorrhoids should be treated with rubber band ligation from the very beginning. In view of their possible complications, both methods should be used only by trained and experienced physicians.
