● Digital Examination: During a digital rectal examination (DRE), the doctor will insert a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to feel for any abnormalities, such as external Piles or other rectal conditions This can help the doctor determine the size, location, and severity of the hemorrhoids.

● Visual Inspection: If internal hemorrhoids are suspected, the doctor may use a proctoscope, an anoscope, or a sigmoidoscope to visually inspect the rectum and anal canal. A proctoscope is a longer tube with a light and camera on the end that allows the doctor to examine the rectum more thoroughly. An anoscope is a shorter tube that

provides a closer view of the anal canal. A sigmoidoscope is a longer tube that allows the doctor to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon.

These tests can help the doctor assess the condition of the hemorrhoids, determine the severity of the condition, and rule out other potential causes of symptoms. Other diagnostic tests, such as colonoscopy, may be recommended in certain cases to further evaluate the rectal and colon health, especially if other conditions are suspected or if the Piles are persistent or severe.

But if your diagnosis shows harshness in your condition, you might be advised to undergo surgery for piles.
