Piles!!
22 Answers
My Granny had piles back in the 60s.
She tells me that she went to the hospital and the doctor injected something into said piles and they cleared up, never to return.
Is that possible?
(She also denies the existence of dinosaurs and thinks it's still 2008, so she may be havering.)

Yes
Injections (sclerotherapy)
Sclerotherapy is another common treatment for internal haemorrhoids. It can be used as an alternative to banding.
A chemical solution is injected into the blood vessels in your back passage. This relieves pain by numbing the sensory nerve endings at the site of the injection. It also hardens the tissue of the haemorrhoid so that a scar is formed. After about four to six weeks, the haemorrhoid should decrease in size or shrivel up.
After the injection, avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. You may experience minor pain for a while and may bleed a little. You should be able to resume normal activities, including work, the day after the procedure.

Ironically was talking to my friend on Monday and that conversation came up - she actually got hers removed in hospital and they grew back. So for a person with them or thinking of getting them removed it could 50/50. However I am thinking she got them removed years ago - things could have moved on now.
