How to Diagnose Hemorrhoids?

For a healthy hemorrhoid treatment process, as in all anal diseases, the most important step is to learn the complaints of the patient and know the history of the disease during the diagnosis phase. Hemorrhoids can be diagnosed during an examination performed by a physician who specializes in diseases of the anal area.

The diagnosis of hemorrhoids can usually be determined by rectal examination, but in some cases, it may also include rectoscopy if the patient complains of anal bleeding. After the examination, if necessary, different tests may be requested from the person. This is because; Intestinal diseases that cause digestive system or large intestine tumors can also show the same symptoms as hemorrhoids. In order not to allow this similarity to affect the diagnosis and to rule out other diseases that may cause symptoms, colonoscopy may be needed for definitive diagnosis.

There is more than one stage (degree) of hemorrhoid disease. In almost none of these stages, it is not possible for hemorrhoids to go away on their own. Herbal methods and prepared cures that can be applied at home without a doctor's advice may only cause the extent of the disease to change. The change in stages is a factor that may also affect the treatment process of hemorrhoids. Self-administered medication, cream or herbal methods can only numb the area momentarily and provide relief to the patient for a very short, temporary period. However, these methods, which can be applied at home, are unlikely to yield definitive results. While it does not cure the disease, it may only cause the symptoms and the degree of the disease to increase.

The anus and the anal area are generally described as an intimate and private area by people. For this reason, patients are shy or embarrassed to receive treatment for any problem that arises in the area. This attitude is quite wrong. Because as the treatment of anal diseases such as hemorrhoids is postponed, complaints may intensify. Instead of refraining from being examined, a physician should be consulted as soon as symptoms are noticed. It should be known that, as in all diseases, early diagnosis is important for anal diseases.
