Proctological symptoms: From haemorrhoids to anal fissures
State-of-the-art diagnostics as the basis for individual, precise treatment
Diseases of the rectum can appear in many different ways. Most people have heard of hemorrhoids before. Coccyx fistulas, anal fistulas or anal thromboses, on the other hand, are not so well known. They all cause anus discomfort and can be very unpleasant for patients. The good news: As a rule, these diseases can be treated quite quickly and easily. In our proctological practice we have a lot of experience with these symptoms and can usually treat them on an outpatient basis.
If surgery is unavoidable, we have every option: From outpatient surgery with local or general anaesthesia to inpatient surgery in our inpatient clinic.
anal fissure
The anal fissure is an elongated tear in the mucous membrane of the anal canal and is therefore also called anal fissure. An acute anal fissure usually heals by itself. If there is a chronic anal fissure, times without symptoms alternate with times when the symptoms recur.
anal fistula
The term fistula is generally used to describe a tubular duct that has developed as a result of a disease process. An anal fistula has an inner opening in the rectum or anal canal and usually also an outer opening in the area of the skin around the anus. It is therefore a kind of tunnel from the inside to the outside.
anal thrombosis
In contrast to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), vascular blockage in analthrombosis is not life-threatening because the clotted blood is not washed into other vessels (embolism). In many cases a treatment is not necessary at all and waiting and observing can already be the best therapy.
haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids (Greek = blood flow) are erectile tissues and are located on the outer part of the intestine, near the anus. Every human being has this well supplied with blood, ring-shaped tissue cushion - also called haemorrhoidal network. It has a very important task: the sealing of the intestine to the outside.
Unwanted hairiness
Coccyx fistulas are often caused by ingrown hair or hair that falls off the body and is massaged in by the movements of the buttocks. A preventive measure to prevent the disease from developing in the first place is permanent hair removal from the buttocks with a diode laser.
