Relevant information about Haemorrhoids Removal Treatment.
- What does the surgery /treatment consist on
Haemorrhoids are part of the human body; they are located in the anal canal. The haemorrhoids removal is needed when they are inflamed or swollen. There are two types of pathological haemorrohoids, the first case is called internal haemorrhoids and are presented with pain and rectal bleeding; the other type is external haemorrhoids that present pain in the area of the anus.
- Which problem does the surgery /treatment solve
In the majority of the cases, haemorrhoids are benign. The classical symptom of haemorrhoid is the apparition of red blood after going to the toilet. Doctors assure that external haemorrhoids are more painful than internal which do not present severe pain. There are many factors that can be the responsible of being a victim of haemorrhoids; among these causes we can find, irregular bowel habits (diarrhea and constipation), a low fiber diet, pregnancy, genetics, aging and the absence of valves within the haemorrhoidal veins. There are other main factors that could derivate in a disorder of haemorrhoids, the first of all is obesity, which makes a big pressure in the rectal vein, the other factor could be sitting for very long periods of time.
- How is the surgery /treatment performed
There are two ways of eliminating haemorrhoids. The first way is oriented to cases of simple haemorrhoids. The second one is recommended for those patients who may need a surgical procedure in order to solve their problem. In the simple treatment, there are a few rules that should be followed by patients; the first one suggest the incorporation of fiber into the normal diet of the patient, fiber foods reduce irritation inflammation and haemorrhoidal bleeding, some foods that contain a great amount of fiber are: broccoli, fresh fruit, beans and whole-grain foods. Another recommended activity is to do exercise; aerobic or walking improve the normal functions of the bowel. It is important for patients who suffer from haemorrhoids to take the right time to go the bathroom; if the patient feels the urge to defecate it is significant to go to the bathroom immediately. The last suggestion is to have “sitz baths”; this is a type of bath made with warm water that surrounds the area of the buttocks and hips. This baths prevent irritation, itching and the possible apparition of spasms. Professionals recommend having a 20 minutes sitz bath after each bowel movement combined with other two or three baths per day. There are other three procedures that can solve the problem of haemorrhoids and there are indicated for more severe cases. The first procedure is called rubber band ligation. It consists in the placement of an elastic band that is situated around the base of a haemorrhoid. The function of the band is to cause the haemorrhoid to shrink and it makes the surrounding tissue to heal. The second procedure is called Haemorrhoidectomy; it is used for patients who present large protruding haemorrhoids which cause serious pain. The surgeon will make a narrow incision around the external and internal haemorrhoid tissue. This procedure is considered very efficient, because it solves 95% of the cases. The last procedure is named stapled haemorrhoidopexy; it is an innovative technique which is performed by using general anesthesia. The doctor will use a stapling mechanism to anchor the haemorrhoids in their normal position. This procedure is the less painful and the recovery is quicker than any other procedure.
- Surgery Length: The treatment of rubber band ligation can last from one to two months. On the other hand, the Haemorrhoidectomy is estimated to last from one to two hours. It is done under general anesthesia provided by surgeons. It is not necessary for the patient to stay in the hospital the night of the operation; patients are able to return to their works after ten days since the operation.
- How is the post surgery /treatment process
In several cases patients ask the doctor to have pain medication in order to avoid the discomfort. If the patient feels any ache, it is very important to tell the doctor immediately. The surgical area must be cleaned and the patient will have to take care of it. It is recommended to take warm baths at least three times per day. It is essential not to make pressure in the area that was operated or treated. For this, the patient should not push, pull or strain for at least one month. It is probable that it will appear a little amount of blood around the wound, however if the patient cannot control the bleeding, he/she have to call immediately an ambulance.
The treatment of haemorrhoids does not present any complication. The surgery can have a few side effects. Among these we can find bleeding and infection. It is normal that after a few days from the operation a small amount of blood can appear, there is no need to be worried in these cases. The risk of an infection will be handled by doctors that know how to treat this possibility by giving some special recommendations and giving prescript medication.
- What does the surgery /treatment do
The quality of life of the patient will be higher. Many patients who have suffered of haemorrhoids assure that after the treatments or the surgery they have reached a complete satisfaction related to their past illness. It is awful to be victim of pain every day, for this, it is absolute recommendable to treat haemorrhoids in order to avoid suffering and discomfort.
- What does the surgery /treatment not do
Neither the treatment nor the surgery will incorporate any implant to the patient. It is a problem that is solved by surgeons by making modifications in the own body of the patient. There is no need to worry about a bad performance during the surgery because the surgeons are experienced professionals in this area and know exactly how to solve the problem of haemorrhoids.
