Many patients come to us with one common complaint:
“Doctor, I had laser surgery for piles, but the problem has come back.”
Laser treatment is often marketed as a quick and painless solution. While it may give temporary relief, it does not always provide a permanent cure. This is why recurrence after laser treatment is becoming increasingly common.
On the other hand, Kshar Sutra treatment, when done correctly, focuses on complete root-level healing, making it a far more reliable long-term solution.
The Reality of Laser Treatment for Piles
Laser surgery mainly works by burning or shrinking the visible piles mass.
It looks effective initially, but in many cases, the core problem remains untreated.
Why Laser Treatment Often Fails in the Long Run
❌ 1. Laser Treats the Surface, Not the Root
Piles are caused by damaged and dilated veins at the base.
Laser treatment focuses on the outer pile tissue but often leaves the root vein intact, allowing piles to form again.
❌ 2. Weak Veins Are Not Corrected
Laser does not strengthen or permanently seal the affected vein.
Over time, pressure from constipation or straining causes the same vein to swell again.
❌ 3. High Recurrence in Chronic Piles
In Grade 3 and Grade 4 piles, laser treatment shows a higher recurrence rate, especially when piles are old or recurrent.
❌ 4. “Quick Fix” Approach
Laser treatment is fast, but speed does not equal permanence.
Many patients experience recurrence within 1–3 years, sometimes even earlier.
Why Kshar Sutra Is a More Permanent Solution for Piles
Kshar Sutra is not a shortcut treatment.
It is a root-based, curative therapy that has been successfully used for decades.
Unlike laser, Kshar Sutra does not just remove piles — it eliminates the cause.
✅ How Kshar Sutra Ensures Permanent Results
1. Complete Root Destruction
The medicated thread is applied at the base of the pile mass, cutting off blood supply completely.
Once the root is destroyed, piles cannot regrow from the same site.
2. Controlled Healing With Natural Strengthening
Kshar Sutra allows:
- Gradual cutting
- Simultaneous healing
- Minimal scarring
This results in stronger tissue and better long-term outcomes.
3. Extremely Low Recurrence Rate
Because the vein and root are treated fully, recurrence is rare when Kshar Sutra is performed by an experienced specialist.
4. Best Choice for Recurrent Piles
Kshar Sutra is especially effective for patients who:
- Had piles return after laser surgery
- Had piles return after open surgery
- Suffer from long-standing or chronic piles
This is why many post-laser failure patients seek treatment under Dr Pranab Haldar.
