What Are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort and bleeding. If you suspect hemorrhoidal disease, you should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan and to exclude a serious illness or condition such as colon or anal cancer. Hemorrhoidal disease is just one of the many causes for rectal bleeding and lesions around the anus that need evaluation. Rectal bleeding can be a symptom of any type of colorectal or anal cancer, a type of cancer that can be cured if detected early.
A complete evaluation and early diagnosis by your local hemorrhoid doctor are very important. Rectal bleeding can be a symptom of any type of colorectal or anal cancer, a type of cancer that can be cured if detected early.
Piles are extremely common. By age 50, approximately half of the population has experienced signs of this health condition [1]. You can get piles inside your anal canal, where they’re called internal hemorrhoids or under the skin around your anus, where they’re called external hemorrhoids. If blood pools in an external hemorrhoid, it may form a clot, called a thrombus. This condition can result in severe pain and inflammation.
This health condition can be very painful. Visit our NYC hemorrhoids doctors for the best hemorrhoid treatment options including laser treatments. Emergency appointments are available at the NYC doctor’s office.
