Home Remedies vs Laser Treatment — Which Is Better for Piles?
Piles (Hemorrhoids) are swollen veins around the rectum or anus that cause pain, itching, or bleeding during bowel movements. Many people try home remedies first to find relief, while others prefer laser treatment for a permanent solution. But which approach works better?
Understanding the Two Approaches
Before choosing between home remedies and surgery, it’s essential to understand the severity and cause of your piles. Mild piles may respond to lifestyle changes, but advanced stages often require medical intervention.
Home Remedies for Piles
Home-based treatments aim to reduce inflammation and improve bowel movement regularity. Common approaches include:
- Warm sitz baths to soothe irritation
- Fiber-rich diet to ease constipation
- Topical creams or coconut oil to reduce itching
- Staying hydrated and avoiding long sitting hours
These remedies may provide temporary relief but often fail to address the underlying vein enlargement. Over time, piles can return or worsen.
Laser Treatment for Piles
Laser piles treatment is a modern, minimally invasive procedure. A controlled laser beam is used to shrink or seal the affected blood vessels with precision and minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
Benefits of Laser Treatment:
- Almost painless and bloodless procedure
- Daycare surgery — same-day discharge
- No stitches, faster recovery
- Low recurrence rate
Which Is Better?
If your piles are mild (Grade I or II), home remedies and dietary changes may help. But for chronic, painful, or bleeding hemorrhoids (Grade III or IV), laser treatment offers faster and long-term relief.
“Laser treatment is quick, safe, and effective — patients resume normal life within 24 to 48 hours.”
