Hemorrhoids

Treatment of hemorrhoids

What are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are vascular cushions located at the transition between the rectum and the anus.
Everyone has them – they help to seal the anal canal.

Only when these vascular cushions become enlarged do we speak of hemorrhoidal disease.

Causes

Common causes include weak connective tissue, prolonged sitting, lack of physical activity and

straining during bowel movements.

Being overweight, a low-fibre diet and chronic constipation can also contribute to their development.

Symptoms

Typical symptoms include:

Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper
Itching, burning or moisture in the anal area
A feeling of pressure or a foreign body, sometimes accompanied by discomfort

Pain is usually not caused by the hemorrhoids themselves, but by inflammation or small tears in the sensitive skin around the anus.
Hemorrhoids are located above the sensitive pain zone and do not contain pain receptors –
which is why their treatment is usually largely pain-free.

Treatment

Die Therapie richtet sich nach dem Stadium:

Frühe Stadien (I–II):

Salben oder Zäpfchen lindern Entzündungen und Juckreiz.
Begleitend helfen ballaststoffreiche Ernährung, ausreichend Flüssigkeit und Bewegung.

Fortgeschrittene Stadien (III–IV):

In unserer Praxis setzen wir schonende, ambulante Verfahren ein – insbesondere die Barron-Ligatur (Gummibandligatur) oder die Sklerosierung (Verödung). Diese Eingriffe sind nahezu schmerzfrei, da sie oberhalb der schmerzempfindlichen Haut stattfinden und keinen Krankenhausaufenthalt erfordern. Unser Ziel Unser Anspruch ist eine sanfte, sichere und diskrete Behandlung, damit Sie sich schnell wieder wohlfühlen und ohne Beschwerden in den Alltag zurückkehren können

Our goal

Our aim is a gentle, safe and discreet treatment,

so that you can feel comfortable again quickly and return to everyday life without symptoms.
