Treatment of acute external haemorrhoids

Like many other acute forms of diseases, acute external haemorrhoids do not tolerate delays. The disorder is characterized by thrombosis in the external haemorrhoids. In response, inflammation begins to develop, which over time is accompanied by increasing swelling, pain, and even tissue necrosis.

Symptoms of acute external haemorrhoids

This painful condition is defined by clear signs. It is worth noting about the pain separately: the acute form of external haemorrhoids is not always accompanied by it, but this happens less often. So, the symptoms of the disease are:

• significant thickening of the node, its size can be up to several centimeters;
• sharp pain that increases after defecation or during prolonged sitting;
• swelling of the anus, nearby soft tissues, and perineum;
• increased blood flow, dark red color of the node.

Even if you have all the symptoms, do not rush to diagnose yourself. Consult a doctor who, after an examination and anamnesis, will accurately determine the cause of the discomfort.

Treatment features in men and women

In men, acute external haemorrhoids are treated just as successfully as in women. The difference lies in the causes of occurrence. In men, it is mainly a sedentary lifestyle, lack of fiber in the diet, genetic predisposition, and harmful habits, while in women, in addition to this, pregnancy and childbirth contribute to the disease.

Treatment of acute external haemorrhoids with medications

For treatment, ointments and rectal suppositories are most often used . They have pain-relieving, vasoconstrictive, and cooling effects. Popular suppositories include Methyluracil, Posterisan, Ichthyol, Natalsid, Proctosan, and others; ointments include Relief, Proctosedyl, Posterisan, Troxevasin, and others.
Tablets such as Detralex 1000 are also popular, as well as folk remedies with herbal baths, homemade suppositories made from honey, sea buckthorn oil, onion husks, cold compresses, and enemas with various solutions.
All of this can provide temporary relief and reduce symptoms, but the problem remains unresolved. The best thing you can do is visit a specialist and follow a personalized treatment plan prepared for you.

Treatment at our clinic

The main thing we guarantee is complete pain control during treatment. We use an epidural catheter for postoperative pain relief and spinal-epidural anesthesia during the procedure. For treatment, we use a laser: this method is minimally invasive and considered the most effective.
If the disease is not treated, there is a chance that the thrombus will leave the haemorrhoidal node on its own. But this does not happen often, and in most cases, complications may arise that will also require treatment. Not to mention that letting the situation take its course means prolonging the period of pain and discomfort.
We treat the full range of diseases in this area: chronic and acute anal fissures, pararectal fistulas, epithelial coccygeal passages, cysts, all types of haemorrhoids.
