The major cause of piles is constipation. Piles do not form cancer. But constipation in the long run can give colon cancer. So it is advisable to avoid constipation by eating healthy fiber rich diet and plenty of fluids.

Better to see a general surgeon or a colorectal surgeon for the same. Piles can progress if untreated and then instead of the OPD procedure like banding, surgery like hemorrhoidectomy (open or stapled) would be needed. Also chances of complications like thrombosis piles and severe bleeding increases. Piles does not cause cancer, but piles may rarely be a sign of existing rectal cancer which compresses the veins leading to piles. Hence sigmoidoscopy is recommended to rule out the same for all piles Patient. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.
