We are all born with normal hemorrhoids. The functions of hemorrhoids when they are not diseased are:
1st: Temperance, ie to close the anus properly.
2nd: The protection, ie they protect the intestinal mucosa from injuries due to hard bowel movements or diarrhea. Hemorrhoids are therefore vascular cushions, protecting the intestine
When the hemorrhoids are sore, that is, they swell and come out of the intestine, then we have hemorrhoids.
Swelling with or without pain • Feeling of incomplete defecation • Bleeding • Mucus secretion • Itching • Pain • Irritation
• The main causes are constipation and heredity. The abandonment of the Mediterranean diet and the predominance of a Western-style diet with an emphasis on meat, sugar and “ready meals” combined with a sedentary lifestyle and stress, lead to constipation, and in patients with hereditary hemorrhoids. Therefore, proper nutrition by regulating constipation helps a lot in the non-occurrence of hemorrhoids. Thrombosed hemorrhoid Thrombosed hemorrhoid
• Another cause is anything that increases intra-abdominal pressure, ie pregnancy, obesity, whooping cough, heavy lifting.
• Also old age and of course heredity.
Staying in the toilet for a long time is also an aggravating factor.
It occurs more often in men, even after the age of 40.
The diagnosis is made by a specialized doctor who after taking the history and examining the patient will do the necessary tests. The treatment of hemorrhoids is individualized depending on the stage of the disease. However, in addition to the symptomatic and bleeding hemorrhoids, the Trilogy ultrasound method is suitable for all four degrees of hemorrhoids that cause problems. It is bloodless, painless and complete in about 15-30 minutes while the patient can return home the same day. The specialist surgeon after examining the patient decides in which patients the method can be applied, as is the case with all methods and techniques in surgery.
