Proctology Hamburg - Treatment of hemorrhoids
Frequently, hemorrhoidal disease is the cause of the above symptoms. Hemorrhoids are vascular cushions located under the rectal mucosa at the anus. These often have a negative connotation, because they actually perform an important task and, together with the sphincter muscle, enable control over bowel emptying. They only cause discomfort when they are pathologically enlarged - when marking this enlargement, a differentiation is made between various degrees, which Proctology Hamburg uses as a guide for treatment. Depending on the extent, procedures used here can be of a surgical or non-surgical nature.
What's a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
- Grade one is a mild degree of enlargement. The hemorrhoids are enlarged at this stage, but are not yet visible without a proctoscope. Bright red traces of blood on toilet paper often indicate enlarged hemorrhoids. At this stage, non-surgical procedures such as sclerotherapy or sclerotherapy are used. Here, substances are injected into the hemorrhoids which cause them to shrink.
- Grade two is already a severe enlargement, here the hemorrhoids dilate outward during bowel movements. There is increased tearing and skin irritation, which is why the typical symptoms such as burning and itching often occur at this stage. Treatment in proctology Hamburg is usually carried out via the already mentioned sclerotherapy or via a rubber band ligation - here the hemorrhoids are tied off with the help of a rubber band, whereupon the tissue dies.
- Grade three is referred to as prolapsing hemorrhoids. In this stage, the hemorrhoids emerge from the anal canal during pressing and can no longer retract on their own. Enlargement of hemorrhoids is also accompanied by intensification of symptoms. At this stage, the practitioners at Proctology Hamburg may advise surgical removal. Typically, a hemorrhoidectomy is performed or the stapler method is used. While the former involves the use of a scalpel, scissors or a laser, the latter method involves the removal of a small portion of the rectal mucosa in order to cut off the blood supply to the hemorrhoids. This is a modern and gentle method that causes less pain afterwards and heals faster.
- In the case of hemorrhoids of the fourth degree, surgical treatment is inevitable. At this stage, the hemorrhoids come out permanently, and repositioning is no longer possible. Affected persons suffer from severe pain at this stage.
Fortunately, very few people suffer from third- or fourth-degree hemorrhoids. If you suspect that you are affected by hemorrhoidal disease, your proctology practice in Hamburg is the first place to go.
