General Guidelines For Victims of Hemorrhoids

Piles are enlarged and bulging blood vessels in the anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoid banding is a procedure to alleviate them.
Banding is used to handle achy, enlarged Hemorrhoids. The treatment is most frequently conducted for the following cases:
Continuously bleeding Hemorrhoids
Extremely painful Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoid having a blood clot (called thrombosed hemorrhoid)
Piles that come-out through the anus (called prolapsed hemorrhoids)
Implications are lesser but no clinical procedure is thoroughly free from of risk. If you are planning to opting Banding Hemorrhoids or hemorrhoid banding, your doctor will review a list of possible side-effects which may include:
Infection
Bleeding
Re-aapearance of Hemorrhoids
Bulging and ache from remaining Piles
Adverse reaction to the local anesthetic (if used)
An anoscope will be insertedvia the anus. The doctor, will see through the tube inside the rectum and identify the hemorrhoid. The doctor will then use a special banding tool. The tool will place a tiny rubber band around the hemorrhoid. The band stops the blood supply. This will enable the hemorrhoid fall off. More than one hemorrhoid may be banded and both the band and the hemorrhoid will fall off in about 1-2 weeks. This is a comparitively swift procedure. The length of time depends on how many Hemorrhoids need treatment. Patients often complain some issues during and after this method. If you feel sharp or intense pain, tell the doctor right away. Manageable pain medicine will help you manage discomfort during recovery.
Post-procedure Care
For few days, you may have difficulty controlling passage of gas and bowel movements. When you come back home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a less painful recovery:
Take sitz baths as advised. Sitz baths will help relieve discomfort and clean the area. For a sitz bath, sit in warm water for 10-15 minutes. Pat the area dry. Do not wipe hard or rub roughly. You may be advised to take a sitz bath every four hours and after every bowel movement. Devices are available to place on top of the toilet to make this process easier.
Move your bowels immediately when you feel the urge.
Do not stress, bear down, or hold your breath during a bowel movement.
Do not remain in the toilet for long periods of time.
To prevent constipation and straining during bowel movements: use a stool softener, exercise, drink plenty of fluids, and eat plenty of high-fiber foods ( fruits, vegetables , beans, and whole grain )
Apply creams or ointments as directed by your doctor.
Avoid weight lifting for two or three weeks.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
Expect some bleeding when the hemorrhoid falls off. See your doctor for a follow-up 3-4 weeks after the treatment.
After reaching home, get in touch with your doctor if any of the below mentioned event occurs:
Passing large amounts of blood
Signs of infection, including fever and chills
Pain that you are not able to control with the medications you have been given
Constipation or trouble urinating
An pain-like feeling develops in the location between the rectum and the genitals
If you go as far as to have three or four Hemorrhoids banding treatments and your Hemorrhoids do not go away, it may be time to think about a hemorrhoidectomy. This procedure involves surgery to permanently remove the Hemorrhoids. The downfall is that surgery is more complicated and costlier than Piles banding, needs a longer recovery period, and has a longer list of risks.
