Is There Any Non Surgical Method To Treat Hemorrhoids?
Question: My father is suffering from hemmaroids/ piles which results in occasional bleeding. Since he is 70+ years old , its difficult for him to undergo surgery. Are there non surgical methods of treating piles or curing it completely? atleast to ensure that there is no bleeding ?
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in
Considering the age of the patient it is better you get him clinically diagnosed and then decide on treatment
In the mean time :
Though there are no non surgical methods of curing hemorrhoids, there are some conservative methods of controlling the symptoms
1] Ask him not to strain
2] Control constipation
3] Take sitz bath twice a day
Add a good probiotic orally twice a day
Once he is diagnosed to be suffering from hemorrhoids only, there are many minimally invasive and safe options which can be performed on medically compromised patients
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of doubts
Wishing your father a healthy life ahead

Add lot of fiber and fluids to daily diet, may be Isapghual powder at bed time
Probiotic is a medicine which provides healthy bacteria for the gut
VSL 3 from sun is one of the good probiotics
If you can drop down to our clinic we can offer a very specific surgery where in he can go home in four to five hours
Hope this helps
