Patients mistake the recurrence of symptoms for the recurrence of the disease itself. Symptoms of piles may be symptoms of other diseases also. For example, amoebiosis also affects the same part of the body and the symptoms too are very similar. In such cases, if patient consults the doctor that treated piles, treatment would be much easier and such fallacies can be got rid of. Fissures, abscesses and fistulas are other commonly occurring diseases which need to be addressed.
Fissures are linear cracks which occur in the anal canal.
They are extremely painful. They can only be treated by operation. Abscesses are common affections, which are nothing but pus filled cavities causing pain, fever, and difficulty in sitting. They need to be treated urgently by operation and the pus removed. Sometimes they can transform themselves to fistula.
