Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins located in the rectal and anal area. They can be internal or external and usually occur as a result of constipation, straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, a sedentary lifestyle or sitting for long periods of time.

The most common symptoms include pain, itching, a feeling of swelling, occasional bleeding during bowel movements and discomfort when sitting. Although they are usually a benign condition, appropriate treatment can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.

Haemorrhoid treatments are designed to relieve discomfort and promote healing of the anal area.

• They help to relieve pain and itching.
• They reduce inflammation in the anal area.
• They soothe itching and irritation.
• They help protect and regenerate the skin.
• They help improve comfort during bowel movements.
• They help to reduce the discomfort caused by internal and external haemorrhoids.

The choice will depend on the severity of the symptoms, the type of haemorrhoid and each person’s individual needs.
