Dr. Mahesh Channappa Podcast

Dr. Mahesh Chikkachannappa, Sr. Consultant - General, Gastrointestinal, Laser Proctology, Laparoscopic & Bariatric Surgery, explains the key differences between piles and fissures. While both conditions can cause discomfort, they present differently. Piles typically involve soft swelling and more bleeding, whereas fissures are characterized by sharp pain and bright red bleeding. Both are often linked to constipation and lifestyle choices. Don't assume it's always piles—consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
