Haemorrhoids Specialists in Telangana

Are haemorrhoids dangerous?

Haemorrhoids themselves are rarely dangerous, though rectal bleeding should always be evaluated to rule out other causes, especially in anyone over 40 or with a family history of colorectal cancer.

Do haemorrhoids need surgery?

Most cases improve with dietary changes, topical treatments, and warm sitz baths; surgery is reserved for large, severe, or recurrent haemorrhoids that haven't responded to less invasive treatments like rubber band ligation.

Can pregnancy cause haemorrhoids?

Yes, increased pelvic pressure and hormonal changes during pregnancy commonly cause or worsen haemorrhoids, though they often improve after delivery with continued attention to diet and bowel habits.

What foods help prevent haemorrhoids?

A high-fibre diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with adequate water intake, softens stool and reduces the straining that contributes to haemorrhoid formation.

How do I know if rectal bleeding is from haemorrhoids or something more serious?

While bright red blood noticed after a bowel movement is typical of haemorrhoids, any rectal bleeding, especially if it's a new symptom, changes in pattern, or occurs with weight loss, should be evaluated by a doctor to exclude other causes.
