Thrombosed hemorrhoids are often caused by a blood clot in an external hemorrhoid, which has been collected in that area.
Straining during bowel movements: Pushing during the bowel movements, which is mostly as a result of constipation, increases pressure on the blood vessels around the anus.
Prolonged sitting: Sitting for a long period, particularly on the toilet, puts pressure on the rectum veins that pump blood back to the heart.
Heavy lifting or strenuous activity: Hemorrhoids that are thrombosed occur when one is either sitting or standing for long periods of time.
Pregnancy: This pressure makes pregnant women to develop hemorrhoids and clots on the pelvic region.
Understanding of these factors can help to prevent them and increase the effectiveness of piles treatment.
Thrombosed hemorrhoids are one type of hemorrhoids that are not the same as external hemorrhoids and can cause a series of more serious conditions. Common symptoms include:
Severe pain: A thrombosed hemorrhoid is normally so painful that anyone who suffers from it will be in severe pain when sitting or even while passing stool.
Swelling: The area around the anus may begin to show signs of inflammation and may develop a rash.
Hard lump near the anus: An obvious inflammation that can be both seen and palpated is commonly located at the formation site of a blood clot.
Bleeding: Bright red coloured blood may be seen in feces.
If you develop these symptoms, it is advisable that you undergo piles treatment so as not to worsen the situation.
At GEM Hospital, the severity of thrombosed hemorrhoids is evaluated during the diagnostic procedure, and an individualized treatment plan is determined. Diagnosis may involve:
Physical examination: Doctors will then physically assess the area surrounding the anus to determine whether they are lumps, are swollen or are tender.
Review of symptoms and medical history: We will discuss your symptoms, your way of life and other factors that may be contributing to the problem to advise on the best course of action.
Further tests: If there are other concerns about other rectal conditions, then further tests may be recommended.
We ensure that the right diagnosis has been made so that the right treatment is given to the patient.
At GEM Hospital, we offer a variety of piles treatment options for thrombosed hemorrhoids, depending on the severity and patient preferences:
Pain relief measures: Aspirin and other nonprescription medicines and creams should help to relieve pain.
Sitz baths: In addition, warm water baths can help to decrease the level of inflammation and pain in the affected area by immersing the affected area in water several times a day.
Minimally invasive procedures: If the pain is severe and the clot is large, we may recommend:
Hemorrhoid thrombectomy: The clot is then surgically removed through a small incision to afford prompt relief.
Rubber band ligation: This procedure blocks the blood flow to the hemorrhoid, and the mass dies, and it eventually falls off.
Sclerotherapy: A chemical solution is injected into the hemorrhoid in order to cause it to slowly diminish in size.
You will be advised on the most appropriate treatment depending on your illness and the type of recovery you want.
