Dr. Shamim Alig, with 15 years of dedicated experience, provides expert treatment for hemorrhoids at his clinic located at Shop No. 3, Asalpha Metro Station, Asalpha, Ghatkopar (west), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus that can cause significant discomfort, itching, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus).

At Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed medical history and a physical examination. Diagnostic procedures such as a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy may be performed to determine the severity of the hemorrhoids and to rule out other potential issues.

Treatment plans are personalized to meet the individual needs of each patient. Initial management typically focuses on non-surgical approaches, including lifestyle and dietary modifications to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence. Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and using stool softeners can help reduce the strain during bowel movements. Over-the-counter creams, ointments, and suppositories may also be recommended to relieve pain and inflammation.

For more severe or persistent cases, Dr. Alig offers advanced minimally invasive procedures such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and infrared coagulation. Surgical options, including hemorrhoidectomy and stapled hemorrhoidopexy, are available for those who do not respond to other treatments.

Dr. Shamim Alig emphasizes the importance of patient education and self-care. By understanding the causes and preventive measures for hemorrhoids, patients can take proactive steps to manage their condition and improve their quality of life. With a compassionate approach and a commitment to effective treatment, Dr. Alig ensures that each patient receives the best possible care for their hemorrhoid concerns.
