General Information About Benign Anorectal Diseases
Disease Details and Frequently Asked Questions
Hemorrhoids (piles), anal fissure (anal tear), perianal fistula (tunnel formation), anal abscess (pus accumulation), and pilonidal sinus (ingrown hair) are the most common types of this disease group.
Severe pain lasting for hours during or after defecation, fresh (bright red) bleeding smeared on toilet paper, a palpable swelling around the anus, irritation, discharge, and unbearable itching.
Chronic constipation, excessive straining by staying in the toilet for a long time, a diet poor in pulp/fiber, insufficient water consumption, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and difficult vaginal deliveries trigger diseases in this region.
No! The biggest danger is that patients hide any bleeding from the anus by saying "it's definitely hemorrhoids" because they are embarrassed. Painless bleeding can be the first sign of large intestine (Colon) cancer; therefore, anyone with bleeding must definitely undergo an examination by a General Surgeon.
The first stage is always warm water sitz baths, a high-fiber (vegetable/fruit) diet, and special ointments. However, in cases of advanced-stage hemorrhoids, chronic fissures, fistulas, or abscesses, Laser, Botox, or surgical (operative) solutions provide permanent healing.
