Piles/ Fissure/ Fistula Surgery

When facing a diagnosis as serious as piles, fissures, or fistula, the importance of expert care cannot be overstated. Dr. Aasima Boxwalla, a leading Consultant in Surgical Gastroenterology, G.I., and HPB Oncology, brings unmatched expertise, compassion, and a patient-centered approach to treating these complex conditions.

Understanding Piles, Fissures, and Fistula

Piles (hemorrhoids), fissures, and fistulas are common yet often distressing conditions that affect the anal and rectal areas. Piles refer to swollen veins in the rectum or anus, while fissures are painful tears in the skin of the anal canal. Fistulas, on the other hand, are abnormal connections between the anal canal and the surrounding skin. Symptoms may include rectal bleeding, pain during bowel movements, itching, or discomfort. Early intervention and treatment are essential for preventing complications and ensuring the best outcomes.

Risk factors for Piles, Fissures, and Fistula

Risk factors include chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Dr. Aasima Boxwalla emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis, which typically involves a physical examination, anoscopy, and sometimes imaging studies to determine the extent and severity of the condition.

The Role of Surgery in Treating Piles, Fissures, and Fistula

While non-surgical treatments like dietary changes and medications can help manage symptoms, surgery is often necessary when these conditions become severe or persistent. Dr. Aasima’s advanced surgical expertise ensures optimal results, addressing the root cause of the problem while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
