Types of Hemorrhoids and How They’re Treated Differently

Understanding the Types of Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are categorized into two main types:

Internal Hemorrhoids: These form inside the rectum, typically out of sight. Internal hemorrhoids often do not cause pain but can lead to bleeding after a bowel movement.
External Hemorrhoids: These form under the skin around the anus, often causing more discomfort. They can lead to itching, irritation, and sometimes visible lumps. External hemorrhoids are more likely to cause pain, especially when swollen or thrombosed (clotted).

Treatment Approaches for Different Types of Hemorrhoids

1. Non-Surgical Options for Internal Hemorrhoids:

Dietary Adjustments: Adding fibre to the diet and staying hydrated can prevent straining.
Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter creams and suppositories can ease mild symptoms.
Rubber Band Ligation: A small band is placed around the hemorrhoid to cut off circulation, allowing it to shrink.

2. Surgical and Minimally Invasive Options for External Hemorrhoids:

- Laser Hemorrhoidopexy: This advanced, minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to reduce external hemorrhoidal tissue, offering a quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
- Excision: For thrombosed hemorrhoids, a small incision can relieve pain and pressure.
- Hemorrhoidectomy: In severe cases, this surgical removal may be recommended.
