| description | Hemorrhoids are vascular spaces forming cushions above the anal
canal which allow the passage of gas without stool, and cause clinical problems
only when they become engorged and prolapse with resulting pain, bleeding,
itching or discharge. Hemorrhoids require treatment only if they cause symptoms,
and should be treated only as long as symptoms persist. Techniques of treatment
including injection therapy, rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, bipolar
probe, heater probe, ultroid and YAG laser are described. At present, rubber
banding is the most cost effective therapy. Diet education is essential to prevent
recurrence. |
