The diagnoses begin with an evaluation of the symptoms described by the patient. This is followed by a physical examination (digital examination), where the doctor inserts a gloved and lubricated finger in the anus to feel any abnormalities in the internal structure of the rectum.
When the blood vessels in the anus become swollen, a bulge is created which is known as piles or hemorrhoids. It can happen due to strenuous bowel movement. Piles can be internal or external. Anoscope/Colonoscopy are used for the diagnosis of piles.
Treatment options for piles are:
Based on the stage and the type of piles, the doctor may recommend either medical line of treatment or surgical line of treatment. Medical line of treatment include medication that can be consumed orally or ointments to be applied around the affected area.

Sclerotherapy: It is used as an alternative to rubber band ligation when the latter is not an option for the patient. The doctor injects a chemical into the blood vessel, resulting in the shrinking of hemorrhoids.
