A substantial change in medical practice has occurred in the last 10 years. Several new, minimally invasive techniques for treating have been described and come into general use. The main aim of these is to avoid surgical removal of varicose veins. The idea is to avoid the need for general anaesthetic, incisions in the legs and a hospital operating theatre leading to a much more rapid recovery from treatment. Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy has become well established as a method of achieving long term cure of varicose veins.

What it is?Hemorrhoids affect about 75% of the population by age 50. And, they are common in pregnancy. While hemorrhoids are not dangerous, they can bleed and become painful when they are in the skin around the anus.A hemorrhoid is a cluster of swollen and inflamed veins in the lowest most part of the rectum.The hemorrhoid may be internal, inside the lower rectum, and may protrude through the anus.The only symptom may be bleeding after a bowel movement, or blood in the stool.However, when the hemorrhoid protrudes it can collect mucus and microscopic amounts of stool that can cause external itching, pain and discomfort.External hemorrhoids develop in the skin that surrounds the anus. Sometimes blood clots can occur in external hemorrhoids (Thrombosis).This can cause bleeding, swelling and a hard lump around the anus. When the clot resolves extra skin is left behind and it can become irritated and itchy.Rubbing and cleaning around the anus can make the symptoms worse.Often the symptoms disappear after a few days, and some people are not aware they even have a hemorrhoid because they never have symptoms.Diagnosis:Because the symptoms of a hemorrhoid are similar to those of other anorectal problems like fissures, abscesses, warts and polyps, a physical exam and a digital rectal exam are employed to evaluate and diagnose hemorrhoids.Any bleeding from the rectum requires a thorough exam to rule out other digestive diseases that can also cause bleeding. In people over the age of 40, a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and barium enema x-rays may be used to rule out other causes, like colon cancer.Medical treatmentMedical treatment for internal hemorrhoids include rubber band ligation, hemorroidectomy- cutting out the hemorrhoid, or staple hemorrhoidopexy.
