Hemorrhoids, a very common disease, significantly reduces the quality of life. Well, what precautions should be taken to protect from hemorrhoids, what are the treatment methods, is it a laser effective treatment method? General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Fatih Kar told what needs to be known.
Mentioning that hemorrhoids is a very common disease, Op. Dr. Fatih Kar said, “More than half of men and women over the age of 50 experience these problems. 80 percent of the population has suffered the painful consequences of hemorrhoids at least once in their life. Healthy hemorrhoids form a vascular bundle and help the rectum to close completely. They are structures that can be found in everyone and have important duties. The breech is first closed with the inner closing muscle. In other words, it is sealed. The hemorrhoid pad on the muscle allows gas, mucus and watery stool to be kept in the intestine. It aids in the ability to retain fluid with the sensitivity of the skin tissue (anoderm) in the anal canal. During their lifetime, most people experience growths in these pads or their extinction.” said.
Many patients are hesitant to talk and go to the doctor.
Referring to the precautions that can be taken for hemorrhoids, Dr. Fatih Kar, “When we say hemorrhoid disease, we understand that the pads, which are normally found in the breech in this region, enlarge and cause complaints. This situation is quite disturbing. It may cause itching, burning, pain and bleeding. In cases of mild hemorrhoidal disease, complaints can obviously regress with easy hygienic measures, regulation of dietary habits, and application of hot water. In cases of advanced hemorrhoidal disease, these methods that you will apply yourself may be insufficient to provide beautification. Although, in some patients, the painful symptoms may disappear and the complaints may improve, but they come back after a short time. The problem is not resolved. In multiple rectal diseases, including hemorrhoids, patients are hesitant to talk and go to the doctor. However, when blood is seen, they spend money on the doctor. This can lead to progression of the disease.” He used his words.
Hemorrhoids are divided into 4
Mentioning that in cases where medical treatment is insufficient, some attempts are made to eliminate the symptoms of diseased hemorrhoids with as little attempts as possible, and continued his words as follows: “The treatment of hemorrhoids is determined according to the stages of the disease. Hemorrhoids are divided into 4 stages. In the initial phase (first degree and second degree), drug treatment and the methods we have described above may be sufficient. Advanced stages (hemorrhoids are pushed out each time you go to the toilet) may often require intervention. Well, what should be the ideal system in this disease? In this case, a technique that causes the least damage to the patient, can return to daily life as quickly as possible, does not cause significant discomfort in the patient during the recovery period, and does not cause any permanent problems in the patient after the process should be chosen. Considering this goal, the Laser Hemorrhoid Treatment procedure stands to fill the gaps in this area. So what’s the method like? It is based on the technique of cauterizing the vascular structures in the deep layers by entering the diseased hemorrhoid pads, which we think are problematic, with laser probes specially designed for this job, with an average of 15-20 minutes without the need for intestinal pacing of our patients. In this case, the hemorrhoidal disease shrinks within a few weeks and the symptoms decrease and the disease improves.
After the process, the patient can be discharged the same day and feel that the patient’s complaints are relieved in the first defecation. Over the last few years, this technique has become well known to our doctors and patients. Although we have been dealing with hemorrhoidal diseases and their treatment for a long time, we can do laser hemorrhoid treatment with faith after seeing the results in patients who were applied in the last period, understanding that it has very few side effects and adopting the ideal application form. We can recommend it to suitable patients who apply to us with this complaint.”
