  I am a middle-aged woman. I have had piles since my college days. Whenever I had symptoms such as blood in stool or pain in the anus, I took over-the-counter medicines which would provide me relief on a temporary basis. I never got serious about the treatment as my piles did not bother me that much, and even if they did, the time span was too short to be worried about. My parents told me many times to undergo a thorough treatment to get rid of my piles forever, but I never paid attention to what they said about the same. I was always afraid of operations, and it was also a reason why I never went to a doctor to treat my piles. But, a few months back, my piles again started making me suffer, and this time it was worse. The inflammation was severe this time, and the pain was unbearable. I was unable to sit properly, and blood was oozing out continuously from the lump. This time, I had no other option than to visit a doctor. A friend told me about a  piles doctor in Kolkata , a...
