Haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids are sometimes called piles. Piles may be associated with passing blood per rectum or they can be associated with a prolapsing lump. People can suffer with internal piles and external piles. Sometimes piles are associated with other peri-anal symptoms including acute pain and itching.
All patients presenting with any of these signs and symptoms suggestive of piles are investigated and these investigations will usually include an examination of the large bowel, to exclude other more serious causes.
We offer all forms of treatment from injecting the haemorrhoids to banding the haemorrhoids and physically removing them.
If there are underlying problems such as a fissure or skin tag, these can be dealt with at the same time. We currently use the least invasive techniques possible to minimise any discomfort and expect people to be able to return to work within a few days.
