Haemorrhoids

What are haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids are among the very common disorders of the anal (rectal) region: small nodules located in the transitional area between the rectum and the anal canal. In the early stages they often cause no major complaints.

Signs include

• Blood in the stool

• Itching in the anal area

• Pain during bowel movements

• Mucous discharge

• Moisture

• Anal eczema

How do they develop

Haemorrhoids develop as a result of enlarged veins in the rectal and anal area.

Contributing factors include

• A low-fibre diet

• Insufficient fluid intake

• Sedentary work

• Being overweight

• Lack of exercise

• Constipation

What can we do about it

First, depending on the individual case, we carry out various examinations:

• Stool diagnostics

• Digital rectal examination

• Proctoscopy (examination of the anal canal)

• Allergy testing

We then initiate a therapy individually tailored to you, such as:

• Injections

• Ligation of the nodules

• Surgery

The methods are mostly painless or involve very little pain, so there is no impairment to your everyday life.
