Cosmocare Medical Center is a premier private clinic in Jumeirah, Dubai, offering expert treatment for hemorrhoids (piles) and related anorectal disorders. Led by an experienced surgeon with over 25 years of successful surgeries, our clinic offers both conservative and advanced treatment options tailored to your disease stage and comfort.
Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen veins in or around the rectum and anus. They are very common, impacting millions worldwide.
Though many people suffer in silence due to embarrassment, early symptoms are usually treatable without major surgery. Ignoring symptoms may lead to worsening conditions that require more invasive treatments.
By middle age, nearly 10% of all adults experience hemorrhoids at some point. Despite this, only a small fraction seek medical evaluation. Prompt treatment can prevent surgeries and improve quality of life.
Form inside the rectum. Often painless initially, but may bleed, prolapse, or protrude. Has four grades depending on size.
Located under the skin around the anus. May cause pain, swelling, lump formation.
Located under the skin around the anus. May cause pain, swelling, lump formation.
Piles Treatment depends on the grade and type of hemorrhoids, your symptoms, general health, and your preferences. Here are the options we offer:
Medications, dietary fiber supplements, increased fluid intake, stool softeners, sitz baths, topical creams / ointments.
Minimally invasive, almost pain-free solution for early grades (I, II, early III). Done under local anesthesia; patients usually return home same day with minimal discomfort.
Redirects blood flow away from hemorrhoids; less pain and quicker recovery. Also repairs prolapse of hemorrhoids. Ideally suited for large Gr III and IV degree hemorrhoids with prolapse
The cost of piles or hemorrhoids treatment in Dubai varies depending on the size, number, grade, severity, and any associated complications. The final treatment plan is determined after a clinical examination by a specialist.
Basic treatment for early-stage hemorrhoids may start from approximately AED 1,000 when performed in the clinic. More advanced treatments that require hospital admission, anesthesia, or surgical procedures may range between AED 15,000 – AED 20,000, depending on the complexity of the condition and length of hospital stay.
A detailed cost estimate is provided after consultation to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment.
When choosing a hemorrhoids doctor Dubai patients should consider several important factors before selecting the best treatment option. An experienced specialist can recommend whether non-surgical care or hemorrhoids surgery Dubai is most appropriate.

You should consult a specialist if you experience any of the following
⦁ Painless bleeding: Bright red blood on toilet paper, stool, or in the toilet bowl.
⦁ Itching, irritation, or discomfort around the anal area.
⦁ Painful or sensitive lump near your anus (especially with external or thrombosed hemorrhoids).
⦁ Feeling of something coming out per rectally and reducing after defecation.
⦁ Prolapse (bulging of internal hemorrhoids outside the anal canal) during bowel movements.
⦁ Leakage of faeces or mucus, swelling, or a feeling of fullness.
⦁ Changes in bowel habits, dark (tar-like) stools, or significant bleeding. These symptoms can point to more serious conditions.
If bleeding is heavy, you feel dizzy or lightheaded, notice dark or black tarry stool, or experience sudden severe pain, you should consult a surgeon immediately.
Hemorrhoids result from increased pressure on the veins in the rectal and anal area. Common contributing factors include:
⦁ Straining during bowel movements, often due to constipation or hard stools.
⦁ Prolonged sitting on the toilet.
⦁ Aging, which weakens supporting tissues.
⦁ Heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity.
⦁ Chronic diarrhea or repeated bowel movements.
⦁ Pregnancy and childbirth (especially during the final months).
⦁ Obesity, low-fiber diet, dehydration.
⦁ Other factors such as certain medical conditions that affect vein pressure or blood flow.
To reduce recurrence and relieve mild symptoms, we recommend
If you are experiencing symptoms of piles, or want to know which treatment is right for you, schedule a consultation with our colorectal specialists in Dubai.
We offer same-day or next-day appointments in many cases. Don’t wait until symptoms worsen — early intervention can save you pain, costs, and time.
Early symptoms may include painless bright red bleeding during bowel movements, itching or irritation around the anus, discomfort when sitting, and a feeling of fullness or mild swelling.
No. Many hemorrhoids (early grades) can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes, dietary fiber, ointments, or minimally invasive office procedures. Surgery is reserved for more severe, prolapsed, thrombosed, or non-responding hemorrhoids.
We offer several options including conservative measures (diet, fibre, stool softeners), outpatient procedures like rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, laser along with inpatient minimally invasive surgeries like THD (Doppler guided dearterialization), laser hemorrhoid ablation, stapled hemorrhoidopexy, and open hemorrhoidectomy when required.
Recovery time varies by procedure. Many outpatient requiring office-based treatments including Laser surgery allows return to normal activity within 1-2 days. More invasive surgeries may require several days (THD) to a few weeks of recovery(e.g. open hemorrhoidectomy).
Yes. Increasing dietary fiber, staying well-hydrated, avoiding straining during bowel movements, managing weight, regular exercise, and reducing time sitting (especially on the toilet) can all help reduce symptoms and recurrence.
You should consult a specialist if you notice any of the following: Regular discomfort/irritation/itching around anus, heavy or persistent rectal bleeding; lump or prolapse that can’t be pushed back; severe pain; changes in bowel habits; or dark, tarry stool. Early evaluation helps rule out other more serious conditions and ensures timely treatment, quick recovery and better quality of life in the long term.
Treatment cost depends on the type, grade, and chosen procedure (e.g. laser, THD, open surgery). We provide transparent quotes after evaluation in consultation. Many minimally invasive options have lower cost and quicker recovery.
Bring any medical records, information about your symptoms (duration, bleeding, pain), list of current medications, and history of bowel habits. No special preparation is needed for many office-based procedures; you will be advised if fasting or other steps are required.
It depends on the chosen procedure. For office-based options (laser / banding / infrared coagulation), local anesthesia is often enough, minimal pain, and you can go home same day. For more invasive surgeries, general or regional anesthesia may be used, with dressings, discomfort, and a short recovery period.
For minimally invasive or office procedures, many patients resume activity within 1-2 days. Patients undergoing Laser hemorrhoid surgery tend to recover faster due to very minimal pain. More involved surgical procedures may require several days to weeks before returning to full activity. Your surgeon will provide personalized recovery guidelines.
Some discomfort, swelling, bleeding, or mild pain can occur. Rarely, there may be infection, recurrence, or complications depending on the procedure type. At Cosmocare, we minimize risks by using modern minimally invasive techniques and strict sterile protocols.
Many medical insurance plans cover certain treatments or consultations; this depends on your policy. We can help you check coverage before proceeding.
