Laser Piles (Hemorrhoids) Treatment in Hyderabad
Piles (hemorrhoids) are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus that cause bleeding, pain, and discomfort. Modern laser treatment offers a bloodless, minimally invasive solution with faster recovery compared to conventional surgery. At our Kothapet clinic, Dr Sandeep Katakam performs advanced laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) with over a decade of experience.
