What is Haemorrhoids?

Haemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed blood vessels in the lowest part of the rectum and anus, which can develop internally within the rectum or externally under the skin around the anus. They form when there is increased pressure on these blood vessels, most commonly from straining during bowel movements, which causes them to become engorged and, in some cases, protrude outside the anus. Haemorrhoids are extremely common and, while often uncomfortable and occasionally alarming due to visible bleeding, are rarely a sign of a more serious underlying condition. Internal haemorrhoids are typically painless but can bleed, while external haemorrhoids can become painful, particularly if a blood clot forms within them. Most cases improve significantly with simple lifestyle and dietary changes, though more persistent or severe cases may require a minor procedure.

Severity

Mild

Prevalence

Very common — a large proportion of adults experience haemorrhoids at some point, particularly after age 50

Contagious

Causes of Haemorrhoids

Caused by increased pressure on the blood vessels around the anus and rectum, most commonly from straining during bowel movements due to chronic constipation, prolonged sitting on the toilet, or chronic diarrhoea. Pregnancy increases risk due to increased pelvic pressure and hormonal changes, while obesity, a low-fibre diet, and heavy lifting also contribute to increased pressure. Ageing weakens the supporting tissues around these blood vessels, increasing susceptibility over time.

Symptoms of Haemorrhoids

Rectal bleeding especially bright red blood noticed after bowel movements, itching or irritation around the anus, pain or discomfort particularly with external haemorrhoids, swelling or a lump near the anus, a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying, mucus discharge, discomfort while sitting

Treatment & Types of Haemorrhoids in Gurugram, Haryana

Mild haemorrhoids are typically managed with increased dietary fibre and fluid intake, topical creams or suppositories to relieve itching and discomfort, and warm sitz baths to soothe irritation. Minimally invasive procedures such as rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy are used for persistent internal haemorrhoids that do not respond to conservative measures. Surgical removal is reserved for large, severe, or recurrent haemorrhoids that have not improved with other treatments.

Haemorrhoids are classified as internal, located inside the rectum and typically painless but prone to bleeding, or external, located under the skin around the anus and more likely to cause pain, especially if a blood clot forms within them (thrombosed haemorrhoid). Internal haemorrhoids are further graded from I to IV based on the degree of prolapse, ranging from no prolapse to permanently protruding tissue that cannot be pushed back in, which guides treatment choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
