Piles and Fistula

Comprehensive Piles and Fistula Treatment

Welcome to Dr. Muralidhar S Kathalagiri's clinic, where we offer specialized care for patients suffering from piles (hemorrhoids) and fistulas. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced medical treatments with personalized care to ensure effective relief and improved quality of life.

Understanding Piles and Fistulas

• Piles (Hemorrhoids): Swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus that can cause discomfort, bleeding, and itching. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus).
• Anal Fistula: An abnormal connection between the epithelialized surface of the anal canal and the perianal skin. Fistulas often develop from anal abscesses and can cause pain, swelling, and discharge.
• Fissure in ano: A painful tear in the anal lining, causing discomfort during bowel movements.

Advanced Diagnostic Services

We provide a range of diagnostic services to accurately assess and diagnose piles and fistulas, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment:

• Physical Examination: Detailed examination of the anal and rectal area to identify the presence and severity of piles or fistulas.
• Anoscopy: A short, lighted tube inserted into the anus to examine the lining of the lower rectum and anal canal.
• Proctoscopy: A more extensive examination of the rectum and anal canal using a proctoscope.
• Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to visualize fistulas and determine their complexity.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Dr. Muralidhar S Kathalagiri develops individualized treatment plans to manage piles and fistulas effectively. Our approach includes:

• Medications: Prescribing topical ointments, suppositories, and oral medications to reduce inflammation and pain.

• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Non-surgical treatments such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and infrared coagulation for piles.
