Haemorrhoids can literally be a pain in the bum. But even though a painful lump on your anus could be a sign of haemorrhoids, it’s far from the only symptom of this common rectal condition. Painless bleeding when you go to the loo, anal itching and faecal incontinence are other common signs that something isn’t quite right. Haemorrhoid symptoms range from very mild to severe and often become a recurring problem.
Hemoproct® can be used frequently and even preventively. This is an advantage compared to short-term treatments with local anesthetic and corticosteroids. It’s an ideal solution for people who regularly suffers from haemorrhoids or discomforts.
Hemoproct® can be used both frequently and preventively.
Symptoms of haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoid symptoms range from very mild to severe and often become a recurring problem1. The good news is that if you treat your haemorrhoids, symptoms are less likely to become serious. Keep in mind that some of the symptoms of haemorrhoids are similar to those caused by other, possibly more serious, rectal conditions, so it’s important to seek help from a medical doctor or other healthcare professional if you’re not sure what’s causing your anal discomfort.
If you have piles, chances are you will be bothered by one or more of these symptoms:
Anal itching and swelling
Haemorrhoids often start with an irresistible urge to scratch your bum. As you start to scratch the irritated skin, the problem only gets worse.1,2
Painless rectal bleeding
Painless bleeding triggered by a bowel movement is typically caused by internal haemorrhoids and is one of the most common symptoms of haemorrhoids.3
Pain when sitting down
Painful haemorrhoids are usually due to bulging tissue and haemorrhoids that protrude out from the anus.2
Impaired anal continence
When haemorrhoids become displaced and inflamed, their ability to regulate continence is impaired and liquid feces and mucus may start to leak out.2
