When to See a Piles Doctor
Piles (haemorrhoids) are swollen blood vessels in the anal canal. Many settle with diet and simple measures, but you should see a specialist if you have:
- Bleeding during bowel movements — even if you are sure it is piles
- A lump at the anus, especially one that comes out on straining
- Pain, itching or irritation that does not settle within a week or two
- Piles that keep returning after creams and home care
- A feeling of incomplete emptying or difficulty passing stool
Rectal bleeding can also come from a fissure, a polyp or something more serious, so it should always be examined. Our guide to the early signs of haemorrhoids explains typical symptoms, and how piles differ from fissures covers the two most commonly confused conditions.
Grades of Piles and What Each Usually Needs
| Grade | What happens | Usual first approach |
| Grade 1 | Bleeding; the pile stays inside the anal canal | Diet, fibre, fluids, bowel habits, medication |
| Grade 2 | Pile comes out on straining and goes back by itself | Conservative care; office procedures such as banding |
| Grade 3 | Pile comes out and must be pushed back | Banding in selected cases; surgery often considered |
| Grade 4 | Pile stays out and cannot be pushed back | Surgery usually recommended |
Grade is only one part of the decision. When piles need surgery explains the other signs that conservative treatment has stopped working, and our complete piles management guide covers each stage in more depth. For background on the condition itself, see haemorrhoids (piles)

How Piles Are Diagnosed
- Physical examination — inspection and a gentle digital rectal examination
- Anoscopy / proctoscopy — a short tube to view the anal canal and grade the piles
- Colonoscopy — when bleeding or other symptoms suggest a problem higher in the bowel
Most examinations take only a few minutes in the clinic. If you are anxious about the visit, read what happens at a proctologist appointment and which scope test you actually need
Piles Treatment Options
Non-surgical and office-based treatment
- Diet and bowel habits — more fibre and fluid, no straining, no long sitting on the toilet. See foods that help with piles and why using your phone on the toilet can worsen piles .
- Rubber band ligation — a small band placed at the base of the pile cuts off its blood supply so it shrinks and falls away.
- Sclerotherapy — an injection into the pile tissue that makes it shrink.
Surgical treatment
- Haemorrhoidectomy — surgical removal of the piles; the most definitive option for large or grade 4 piles.
- Stapled haemorrhoidopexy — a minimally invasive technique that repositions the piles and reduces their blood supply.
Recovery After Piles Treatment
Office procedures usually allow a return to normal activity within a day or two. After surgery, discomfort is greatest in the first week and improves steadily. Soft stools, fluids, warm sitz baths and walking all help. Our week-by-week guide to recovery after piles surgery covers what to expect, and sitz baths for anal canal problems explains one of the simplest comfort measures.
Preventing Piles From Coming Back
Treatment removes the piles but not the habits that created them. Constipation, straining and prolonged toilet sitting are the main drivers of recurrence. Read why piles come back after treatment for the full picture.
