Because of the feeling of shame, many people suffering from hemorrhoids, postpone the appeal to a specialist. Such a frivolous attitude towards health can lead to deplorable results, because the disease does not cease to progress.
Of course, for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids can be used and folk remedies, but only under the supervision of a specialist. Be sure to conduct a diagnosis in a medical institution, because it is almost impossible to assess the severity of this disease independently.
Diagnosis of internal hemorrhoids
An exact diagnosis can be made by a proctologist on the basis of a digital examination of the rectum, as well as instrumental methods - anoscopy, iriscopy, colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. Before the examination, you must make a cleansing enema .
Methods of treatment of internal hemorrhoids
Depending on the stage of the disease, conservative or surgical methods are used for treatment. In most cases, the disease is treated fairly easily. Even in severe cases, not always immediately resort to surgery, and apply conservative therapy. In case of its inefficiency, surgical treatment is carried out. Immediate indication for treatment in the hospital is internal bleeding hemorrhoids, thrombosed hemorrhoids, as well as the presence of falling internal nodes with the risk of their pinch.
Treatment of chronic internal hemorrhoids
As in the period of remission, and with the exacerbation of the disease, an important role in the treatment is the normal work of the intestine. To avoid constipation, you need to correct the diet, a significant place highlighting in her plant food, rich in fiber. If the diet is not enough to normalize the stool, laxatives are prescribed. It is worth noting that with bleeding hemorrhoids you can not take saline laxatives.
For the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, various drugs are used: suppositories, ointments, tablets. Suppositories (Indomethacin, Relief, Anestezol) are able to affect hemorrhoids and inflamed mucous membranes at a large height of the rectum. These drugs are used to relieve pain and inflammation. Ointments (Heparin, Troxevasin, Ichthyol) are able to provide a local soothing effect. With internal hemorrhoids, the ointment is injected with a special tip. The action of tablets for oral administration (Detralex, Flebodia, Vasoket), is mainly aimed at normalizing blood circulation and strengthening the walls of blood vessels.
Treatment of internal hemorrhoids with bleeding
In this case, local treatment, first of all, is directed to stop bleeding from hemorrhoids. For this, hemostatic candles (Thrombin, Adrenaline), as well as systemic action drugs (Vikasol, Hemoroidin) are used. Surgical treatment for internal hemorrhoids with bleeding is indicated in those cases when there is a risk of developing anemia and lowering the hemoglobin level. With significant blood loss with a sharp drop in hemoglobin, the operation is performed immediately. Another method of stopping bleeding involves the introduction into the internal hemorrhoids of sclerosing solutions that cause blood clotting in the node with subsequent scarring.
Surgery
Today, for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, in general, use minimally invasive techniques:
- laser exposure;
- suture ligation,
- Latex ring ligation;
- stitching of arteries under ultrasound control, etc.
