Treated by Dr. Ravi Chandra Reddy Obili at Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy
Piles, also known as haemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in the rectum and anus that affect many people in Visakhapatnam. This common condition causes discomfort, bleeding, and pain during bowel movements, ranging from mild irritation to severe complications requiring surgical intervention. Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy Obili, a skilled Surgical Gastroenterologist, provides comprehensive treatment for haemorrhoids using both conservative and advanced surgical techniques.
Develop inside the rectum and are usually painless but may bleed. These are graded from Grade I to IV based on severity and degree of prolapse through the anal opening.
Form under the skin around the anus and can be painful, itchy, and may form blood clots (thrombosed haemorrhoids) causing severe discomfort and swelling.
Combination of both internal and external haemorrhoids occurring simultaneously, requiring comprehensive evaluation and often more extensive treatment approaches.
Multiple factors can contribute to the development and progression of this condition.
Piles (Haemorrhoids) develops gradually. Recognising symptoms early gives you more treatment options.
From conservative to surgical — we always start with the least invasive option first.
A structured, patient-first approach from first visit to full recovery.
Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy Obili conducts thorough history taking and digital rectal examination, followed by proctoscopy or anoscopy to accurately grade the haemorrhoids and identify any associated conditions requiring attention.
Based on haemorrhoid grade, symptoms, patient lifestyle, and preferences, Dr Obili develops an individualized treatment plan ranging from conservative management to advanced surgical interventions tailored to each patient's specific needs.
For patients requiring surgery, Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy Obili utilizes modern surgical techniques including stapled haemorrhoidopexy and refined haemorrhoidectomy procedures, ensuring minimal pain and optimal outcomes with his surgical expertise.
Dr Obili provides detailed post-procedure instructions, effective pain management protocols, dietary guidance, and scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing, prevent recurrence, and ensure complete patient satisfaction and recovery.
What to expect at each phase of recovery.
Patients experience mild to moderate discomfort managed with prescribed pain medications. Warm sitz baths are recommended, and patients are advised to maintain soft stools through diet and stool softeners while avoiding straining.
Gradual reduction in pain and discomfort occurs as healing progresses. Patients can resume light activities and work, continue high-fiber diet, maintain anal hygiene, and attend follow-up appointments for wound assessment.
Full tissue healing is achieved with return to normal bowel function and all activities. Patients continue preventive measures including dietary modifications, adequate hydration, and lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence.
Over 90% of patients experience complete relief from bleeding, pain, and prolapse with appropriate treatment, significantly improving quality of life and daily comfort.
Surgical treatments combined with lifestyle modifications result in low recurrence rates, with proper post-operative care and adherence to preventive measures ensuring long-term success.
Modern minimally invasive techniques allow most patients to resume work and normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with complete recovery typically achieved within 4-6 weeks.
Patients report significant improvement in comfort, confidence, and overall well-being after treatment, eliminating the embarrassment and discomfort associated with untreated haemorrhoids.
Untreated haemorrhoids can progress from Grade I to IV, causing chronic bleeding that may lead to severe anemia, fatigue, and weakness. Complications include thrombosed haemorrhoids with severe pain, strangulated haemorrhoids with tissue death, chronic prolapse causing difficulty with hygiene, and significant impact on quality of life and daily activities.
Seek immediate consultation with Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy Obili if you experience rectal bleeding, persistent pain, visible lumps around the anus, or prolapsing tissue that doesn't reduce spontaneously. Early evaluation is crucial if you have a family history of colorectal conditions or if symptoms persist despite home remedies, as timely diagnosis and treatment prevent progression and complications.
Early treatment means more options and better outcomes. Book a consultation to understand your condition and explore the right path forward.
