Piles (Hemorrhoids) Treatment : Symptoms, Laser Surgery & Insurance Coverage
2 months ago
I am experiencing bleeding during bowel movements, and I want to know whether piles can be cured with medicines or if surgery is required. I am from Kurla, Mumbai, and I want to understand where the doctor is available, what type of treatment is done, how long laser treatment takes, the recovery period, and the estimated cost, especially since I have insurance. Also, please tell me the doctor’s name and availability.

Piles is a condition where the treatment depends entirely on the stage of the disease. If the disease is in the initial stage, it can often be managed with medicines, diet changes, and lifestyle modifications, and surgery may not be required.
If the disease is in the middle stage, laser treatment is usually recommended. In advanced or last-stage cases, open surgery may be required.
The treatment is not done externally, even if there is excess skin, and there is no major complication involved. Since you are experiencing bleeding in the toilet, a proper clinical examination is necessary to determine the exact stage.
Our senior doctor is available in Chembur, near Kurla. You should first come for a check-up, after which the doctor will clearly explain the stage of the disease and the future treatment plan.
If laser treatment is advised, it is usually a short procedure. You will be admitted in the morning and generally discharged the same day or the next day, depending on the case. There is no need for strict bed rest. Most patients can resume office work within 3–4 days.
Regarding treatment cost, it depends on whether you have a personal or corporate insurance policy. Most policies work on a cashless basis, but this depends on the hospital tied to your insurance. Please share your insurance policy details, and we will check which hospital is applicable.
The doctor’s name is Dr. Girendra. Please note that Monday is a holiday, but consultations are available on other working days.
