Piles specialist in Ludhiana: what to look for, and who you will see

Which doctor should you see for piles?

No page can honestly name the best piles doctor for you. Whoever you choose, a good piles doctor should offer you these five things:

• A named, registered doctor. You know who will see you, their qualification and their registration.
• An examination before medicine. Nothing is prescribed until the cause has been assessed, and an examination is explained before it happens.
• A stated fee. You know the cost of the consultation before you book.
• No fixed-day promises. Nobody can honestly tell you how many days treatment will take before examining you.
• Willingness to refer. If you need tests, a colonoscopy or a surgeon, you are told plainly and referred.

The doctor you will see

About the doctor

Dr. D.K. Sharma (BAMS), practising since 1992, in a family practice that began in 1965. He consults in Punjabi, Hindi and English and assesses piles, fissures and other back-passage concerns. When a concern needs tests, a colonoscopy or a surgeon, he says so and refers you. That is part of the assessment, not a failure of it.

Choose the closest fit, or send a short note if you're unsure.

• A lump, itching or swelling; something coming down: piles (bawasir, haemorrhoids).
• Sharp, cutting pain during stool, burning afterwards, a small skin tag: anal fissure, sentinel pile and skin tag.
• Blood on the paper or in the pan: blood in stool (rectal bleeding). Read its urgent signs first.
• A boil near the anus that keeps returning, or a small opening that leaks: anal fistula (bhagandar).
• Hard stool, straining, constipation that keeps coming back: constipation (kabz).
• All piles and back-passage concerns: the piles hub.

Heavy or non-stop bleeding, large clots, black stool or feeling faint need emergency care today, not a booking.

Privacy and examination

The consultation is one-to-one with Dr. Sharma. Please don't send photographs. They aren't needed and can't diagnose the cause. An examination is never assumed: the reason is explained first, and you can ask what it involves before agreeing. Asking for help does not commit you to an operation.

If you would prefer a female (lady) doctor, say so before booking, and the clinic will tell you what is possible.

How a consultation runs

In person at Samrala Chowk (Ludhiana 141008) or Focal Point, Gobindgarh (Ludhiana 141003), 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., or by video. Video works for the history and advice; an examination means a visit. How a video consultation works is set out on its own page.

Before you come, it saves time to note down (nothing needs to be sent):

• roughly how long it has been going on, and whether it comes and goes;
• when the pain or bleeding happens: during stool, after, or unrelated;
• what your bowel movements have been like recently;
• anything you have already used, such as a chemist cream (bring it with you);
• other health conditions, and any regular medicines.

Then you hear what is likely going on, what can help and what won't, and when to check in.

A patient's review
