After Years of Avoiding Long Drives and Meetings, He Finally Got His Normal Life Back
Social share:
For Rohit Sharma, undergoing laser piles treatment at Pristyn Care was about much more than getting rid of a painful condition.
“It wasn’t just about treating piles,” he says. “It was about getting my confidence, comfort, and normal life back.”
The 36-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru had always led an active lifestyle. Long office hours, weekend cricket matches with friends, and family road trips were all part of his routine. But over the course of two years, everything slowly began to change.
It started with occasional bleeding during bowel movements. Soon came sharp pain, itching, and discomfort that made sitting for long hours almost impossible. Rohit initially blamed his hectic work schedule and irregular eating habits.
Like many people, he felt embarrassed to discuss the problem.
Instead of consulting a doctor, he searched online for home remedies. He increased his fibre intake, drank more water, tried Ayurvedic medicines, used medicated creams, and even followed advice from friends and relatives. While some remedies offered temporary relief, the symptoms always returned.
“I kept telling myself it would heal on its own,” Rohit recalls. “But every month, the pain became worse.”
Eventually, even simple activities became difficult. Driving to work, attending long meetings, travelling, or sitting through a family function felt exhausting.
The disease wasn’t just affecting his body – it was affecting his daily life.
One morning, after experiencing heavier bleeding than usual, Rohit finally decided he could no longer ignore the problem. He visited a local clinic, where he was advised to undergo conventional surgery with a hospital stay of several days.
The thought of painful surgery and weeks away from work made him anxious.
A colleague who had recently undergone laser treatment for piles suggested that he consult a specialist at Pristyn Care.
“I booked my consultation online and was surprised to get an appointment within a couple of days,” Rohit says.
During the consultation, the proctologist carefully examined him and explained that he had advanced hemorrhoids that were unlikely to improve with medicines alone. The doctor also explained the benefits of modern laser treatment – inclu
ding smaller wounds, less postoperative discomfort, quicker recovery, and the possibility of returning home on the same day.
“The doctor answered every question patiently,” Rohit says. “For the first time, I felt like someone truly understood what I was going through.”
After discussing the treatment with his family, Rohit decided to go ahead with the procedure.
His surgery was scheduled the following week.
“I was nervous when I reached the hospital,” he admits. “But the entire Pristyn Care team – from the coordinator to the nursing staff – made me feel comfortable. They explained every step before the procedure, so there were no surprises.”
The laser procedure was completed successfully, and within a few hours, Rohit was able to walk with assistance.
“I couldn’t believe I was going home the very same day,” he says. “I had imagined weeks of pain, but the experience was nothing like I had feared.”
During his recovery, Rohit followed the doctor’s advice carefully. He stayed hydrated, switched to a fibre-rich diet, took short walks every day, and attended his scheduled follow-up consultations.
Each passing week brought noticeable improvement.
Within days, he was able to sit comfortably while working. A few weeks later, he was back at the office full-time without constantly worrying about pain or bleeding.
Three months after his treatment, Rohit travelled with his family to Himachal Pradesh for a long-awaited holiday.
“We walked through the markets, explored cafés, and even went on short treks,” he says. “For the first time in years, I wasn’t looking for the nearest washroom or worrying about discomfort every few minutes.”
Today, Rohit has returned to playing weekend cricket with his friends and enjoys spending time outdoors with his family.
Looking back, he believes the biggest challenge wasn’t the disease itself – it was delaying treatment because of embarrassment.
“I wish I had spoken to a specialist much earlier,” he says. “Piles are more common than we think, and there’s absolutely no reason to suffer in silence.”
He now encourages anyone experiencing symptoms like bleeding, pain, or swelling during bowel movements to seek medical advice instead of relying only on home remedies.
“For me, laser treatment at Pristyn Care wasn’t just another medical procedure,” Rohit says with a smile. “It gave me the freedom to live without pain again – and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for.”
