Haemorrhoids

In order to establish the presence of haemorrhoids, one must carry out a rectoscopy. In the early stages, haemorrhoids can be treated with creams and suppositories to alleviate the discomfort.

The next phase of treatment involves sclerotherapy and rubber band ligation. In advanced stages haemorrhoids must be removed by surgery.




Anal Fistula/Abscess


Anal fistulae originate from the anal glands, which are located between the two layers of the anal sphincters and which drain into the anal canal. If the outlet of these glands becomes blocked, an abscess can form which can eventually point to the skin surface.

The tract formed by this process is the fistula. Abscesses can recur if the fistula seals over allowing the accumulation of pus. The abscess must be lanced so that the pus can be secreted.


Anal Eczema

The causes of anal eczema (itchy skin rash) can include haemorrhoids, skin disorders, a contact allergy, diarrhoea or the intake of antibiotics. In addition to treating the above causes, appropriate anal hygiene, sitz baths and creams are recommended to expedite the healing process.


Anal Fissure or Tear

Anal tears can be treated with sphincter distension and creams. If the tear is chronic, there is a risk of an anal fistula occurring and therefore in such cases surgery is usually required.
