Sedentary lifestyle, poor diet to blame for piles
Sedentary lifestyle, poor diet to blame for piles
Nearly 80% of people over 40 suffer from piles. Doctors say due to poor eating habits and inactivity even younger men and women, mostly executives who spend long hours sitting in office, are suffering from the condition which causes swollen tissue and blood vessels.
In a big relief to such patients, the surgeons, instead of doing an open surgery, remove the enlarged tissues through a hollow tube which is shaped like a gun.
The doctors put the instrument into the anal canal. Through this, a long thread is woven around the internal hemorrhoids. Then, a stapler is inserted into the tube and fired. On firing, the stapler cuts off the circumferential ring of abnormality and also seals its edges.
According to Dr BB Agarwal, one of the pioneers of this technique in the country, the whole procedure takes only about 15-20 minutes and it is performed on day care basis.
