What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that exist in and around the lower rectum and anus. These enlarged veins often cause a significant amount of pain, though are entirely treatable using at-home remedies and therapies. Individuals who experience frequent recurrence of hemorrhoids, or hemorrhoids that are especially painful, should seek medical attention from a provider for comprehensive treatment.

Hemorrhoid Treatment

There are many simple techniques and preventative measures you can take if you have recently discovered a hemorrhoid and are looking for ways to intervene before your symptoms worsen.

• Warm Sitz Baths
• Over-the-counter (OTC) creams and ointments
• High-Fiber Diet
• Stay Hydrated
• Proper Hygiene
• Use a Donut Pillow
• Exercise
• Witch Hazel Compress
• Avoid Straining
• Cold Packs
• Proper Anal Hygiene

However, if all at-home remedies prove ineffective, or you begin to experience more alarming symptoms caused by hemorrhoids such as bleeding from the rectum or anus, please contact Dr. Albert Chung right away for proper treatment.

Hemorrhoid Removal Surgery

The surgical removal of a hemorrhoid, called a hemorrhoidectomy, has been a standard practice for many years. During surgery, Dr. Albert Chung will remove the hemorrhoid and excise the affected tissue while the patient remains sedated and completely comfortable. This provides long-lasting relief from hemorrhoids that are known to chronically occur in one particular area.
