As a piles doctor in Karachi, I often encounter misconceptions that piles treatment is always invasive or painful. Many believe that surgery is the only option, but we have effective non-surgical treatments like laser therapy and rubber band ligation.

Another misconception is that piles are always due to poor hygiene or diet, but they can result from various factors, including genetics. I address these by educating patients about the range of treatment options and emphasizing that many modern procedures are minimally invasive and comfortable.
