Hemorrhoid treatment – ​​modern methods at Mediss Medical Gdańsk

What are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are natural venous structures in the anal canal that help control defecation. The problem occurs when these vessels become dilated and inflamed, leading to pain, itching and bleeding. Although hemorrhoids are very common – according to statistics, they can affect up to 50% of adults – many patients still avoid seeing a specialist due to shame or fear.

At Mediss Medical, we break this taboo. Our team approaches the problem of hemorrhoids professionally, with empathy and full discretion.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids – when is it worth seeing a doctor?

The most common symptoms that may indicate the presence of hemorrhoids include:

• bleeding from the anus (most often during defecation),
• itching, burning and discomfort in the anus area,
• pain when sitting or walking,
• palpable lumps near the anus,
• a feeling of incomplete defecation.

It is worth remembering that the symptoms of hemorrhoids can resemble other conditions – including more serious diseases of the large intestine. Therefore, any disturbing change should be consulted with a doctor.

Diagnostics and treatment of hemorrhoids at Mediss Medical

At our facility in Gdańsk, we offer comprehensive care in the field of hemorrhoid treatment – from diagnosis to effective therapies.

Diagnostics:

The initial consultation includes a detailed interview and a gentle physical examination. If necessary, we perform:

Anoscopy – a short examination of the anal canal using a special speculum,

Rectoscopy – assessment of the final section of the large intestine, if necessary.

Treatment methods:

Depending on the stage of advancement of the changes, we select an individual method of therapy:

Pharmacological treatment – ​​ointments, suppositories and oral preparations in milder cases,

Rubber banding (Barron’s method) – one of the most commonly used methods for internal hemorrhoids. It involves placing a rubber band that cuts off the blood supply to the lump, causing it to die.

Sclerotherapy – injection of a preparation that causes the vessels to shrink.

Cryotherapy – freezing the changes using liquid nitrogen.

Surgical procedures – in advanced cases, when other methods are ineffective.

All procedures are performed in accordance with the highest standards, in comfortable conditions and taking into account the patient’s preferences.

Why is it worth treating hemorrhoids?

Not just for comfort – untreated hemorrhoids can lead to complications such as:

• chronic bleeding (which can cause anemia),
• hemorrhoidal thrombosis (very painful),
• infections and inflammations,
• deterioration of the quality of life and mental well-being.
