What are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels located in and around the anus and lower rectum. They are a common problem that can be caused by a variety of factors, such as sitting for long periods, straining during bowel movements, constipation, pregnancy, or obesity. Symptoms can range from mild irritation, itching, and swelling to severe pain and bleeding. Although hemorrhoids are rarely serious, they can be incredibly uncomfortable and interfere with daily life if left untreated.

Types of Hemorrhoids

There are two main types of hemorrhoids: internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids are located inside the rectum and often go unnoticed unless they protrude outside the anus or cause bleeding. Internal hemorrhoids usually cause minor discomfort, but bleeding during bowel movements is common. External hemorrhoids are located under the skin around the anus and are more likely to cause pain, itching, and swelling. In some cases, blood clots can form in external hemorrhoids, increasing pain and requiring more immediate treatment. At Royal Villanova, we offer targeted treatment options for both types, ensuring optimal care.

Hemorrhoid Treatment Options

Our hemorrhoid treatments range from conservative, non-surgical options to more advanced procedures, depending on the severity of your condition. For mild cases, we may recommend dietary changes, topical medications, and lifestyle modifications to reduce symptoms. However, for more persistent or severe hemorrhoids, we offer less invasive options such as rubber band ligation, which involves placing a small rubber band around the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off naturally. For patients with more advanced cases, a hemorrhoidectomy (surgical removal of the hemorrhoids) may be recommended to provide permanent relief. Our specialists will guide you in choosing the most appropriate treatment based on your condition.

Hemorrhoid Treatment Process

Your treatment journey at Royal Villanova begins with a comprehensive consultation where our specialists will assess your symptoms, discuss your medical history, and perform a physical examination. Based on this assessment, we will recommend the best treatment approach for your specific needs. For non-surgical procedures, we will explain the steps involved and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress. If surgery is required, the procedure will be performed under local anesthesia, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week.
