Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Hemorrhoids is one of the most common diseases that can happen in any age group. It appears as small lumps that generally happen in the lower portion of the rectum as a result of swelling of the veins within the rectum.
Hemorrhoids can normally happen inside the anus or rectum and can extend to the exterior at a later stage of the disease. As a result, this disease cannot be taken lightly and must be cured as soon as possible. However, it is possible to cure hemorrhoids at home, but in serious cases it is better that you seek medical guidance as well.
Though all types of hemorrhoids can be treated with oral medication and application of ointments, but at times hemorrhoid surgery is highly recommended. In fact, if you experience an abnormal pain and abnormally extreme growth of lumps then it is sensible to discuss with your physician on the possibilities of hemorrhoids surgery.
Physicians generally recommend for hemorrhoids surgery only in situations where the hemorrhoid gets more painful and are likely to cause further difficulty. Hemorrhoids surgery is generally conducted only in the acute situation where there is no other medicinal option left. The key purpose of hemorrhoids surgery is to give you relief and to avoid the future possible complications as early as possible.
Today there are various types of methods used in surgery of disease like hemorrhoids. However, the most common methods that are used effectively these days are:
Coagulation: This type of hemorrhoids is majorly conducted when the hemorrhoids are smaller in size and shape. This type of surgery primarily involves the burning procedure. In this burning procedure, the hemorrhoids gets burned with the help of electric current or infrared light.
Hemroidectomy: This type of surgery is performed on those patients who are suffering from either of the internal or external hemorrhoids. During this form of surgery, the hemorrhoids are generally removed with the help of a laser or scalpel.
Normally, this method is performed in itchy and more painful hemorrhoids. The major difference in this procedure in comparison to coagulation is that the healing might take a little longer time.
Apart from this, there is another type of surgery when the doctor removes the blood clots in the hemorrhoids just by puncturing them after applying local anesthesia. Though it is also considered as a surgery, but yet it is one of the major types of hemorrhoids surgery and can be performed as an outpatient operation.
Adding to this, Injection therapy and Band Ligation are also other types of treatment that are also used to cure hemorrhoids, but they don't closely involve hemorrhoids surgery.
