Treatment for hemorrhoids

Schedule a consultationInternal, external or mixed hemorrhoids
These treatments can resolve all types of hemorrhoids: internal, external or mixed.
The most appropriate option
The doctor recommends the most appropriate option for each patient based on the type and grade of hemorrhoids.
Comparing treatment options
Depending on the diagnosis and symptoms, laser treatment is compared with lifestyle changes, office procedures and conventional surgical techniques.
Potential benefits of laser treatment
In selected patients, comparative studies have found less pain during early recovery, less bleeding and an earlier return to activities than with conventional surgery.
Recovery, recurrence and the limits of laser treatment
Recovery varies from person to person. Evidence is stronger for the first few weeks than for long-term durability, so the possibility of recurrence is also part of the comparison.
An assessment before deciding
During your consultation, you will learn which technique is most appropriate for you, how follow-up care is arranged and which option offers the best balance for your needs.
Reasons to seek care
Bleeding, pain, itching or a lump are reasons to seek care
These symptoms can affect everyday activities such as sitting or having a bowel movement. A specialist assessment helps identify the cause and choose appropriate care.
- Bright red blood during a bowel movement or when wiping
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- Pain or tenderness
- Swelling or a lump near the anus
- Discomfort when sitting or having a bowel movement
These symptoms also occur with other anorectal conditions. An assessment confirms their cause.
Learn when to seek an assessmentWhen to seek care
Not all rectal bleeding is caused by hemorrhoids
If bleeding occurs for the first time, recurs or symptoms do not improve, it is worth requesting an assessment. The aim is to identify the cause rather than assume a diagnosis based on symptoms alone.
Seek urgent medical attention if bleeding is heavy, occurs with dizziness or fainting, or is accompanied by severe pain or other significant symptoms.
What hemorrhoids are
What are hemorrhoids, and why can they cause discomfort?
Hemorrhoids develop in vascular tissue in the anus or lower rectum. They may be internal, external or a combination of both. This distinction affects symptoms and treatment.
External hemorrhoids
They form beneath the skin around the anus and can cause pain, tenderness, itching or a lump.
Internal hemorrhoids
They form inside the rectum. They often cause bleeding and, in some cases, may protrude during a bowel movement.
