Treating all patients using one single method may not be always successful. The ideal form of treatment would be to assess the patient and then choose one of the above methods for the best results. This is what we call individualising the treatment. Lot of patients think that piles recurs after treatment and that a surgery may do more harm than good. Normally, if properly treated and doctor s advice rightly followed, piles never recurs.
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.
