Conditions such as hemorrhoids and anal fissure can cause serious health problems if left untreated. General Surgery Specialist Assoc. Dr. Tuba Mert emphasized that these diseases are common in society, but treatment is delayed due to fear of examination or underestimation of the disease.
TREATMENT METHODS ACCORDING TO THE STAGE OF THE DISEASE
Dr. Mert stated that hemorrhoids occur with complaints such as swelling, bleeding and pain in the anal area, and said, “Hemorrhoids are divided into two groups as internal and external hemorrhoids. We determine the treatment methods according to the stage of the disease. In stages 1 and 2, medical treatment is usually applied, warm water baths, defecation.” “The disease can regress with the regulation of the disease and the use of cream. However, in stages 3 and 4, surgical intervention may be required.” he said.
DO NOT IGNORE THE SYMPTOMS
Dr. said that the second most common disease group in the anal region is anal fissures. Mert said, “This disease is usually triggered by constipation or diarrhea. Patients apply to us with complaints of severe pain and bleeding. Acute anal fissure is the early stage of the disease and can be cured with appropriate treatment. However, surgical intervention is inevitable in chronic anal fissures. Unfortunately, this disease cannot be treated with medical treatment.” “It is not possible to cure it, we recommend surgical treatment.” he said.
