Too Afraid to Ask About Hemorrhoids? | Doctor Explains Causes, Symptoms and Treatment 👩‍⚕️

In today’s episode of Dr Nora, I take you through everything you need to know about haemorrhoids from what they are, the causes, symptoms and treatment.

Haemorrhoids are dilated vessels or veins that arise from either inside or outside of the bottom. They can present with symptoms of being painful or bleeding.

It is important to seek medical advice if you are experiencing any bleeding from the back passage as this always needs further investigation.

Treatment options include creams or suppositories, ensuring your bowel motions are regular and soft and in some situations more invasive procedures such as band ligation and surgical removal.

You can reduce the risk of developing haemorrhoids by having a diet high in fibre and water, keeping active and ensuring that you do not strain on the toilet.

As always, if you have any concerns please do speak with your own medical doctor for an individual assessment.

I hope you enjoyed this video and as always if you have any questions or comments please drop me in a line below.

Know your poop 💩

Changes to your bowels, such as colour, presence of blood, consistency and appearance can all be indicators of bowel cancer.

Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world, where 1 in 13 will develop the disease in their lifetime. So it’s important to get to know the signs to help early treatment.

Other signs and symptoms include tummy pain, weight loss and feeling tired with no apparent reason.

If you are concerned about these symptoms it is important that you seek medical help. Diagnosis usually includes blood tests and a colonoscopy which is a camera that is inserted through the back passage by a specialist.

Treatment is on an individual basis but could include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Bowel cancer screening is available for those over 50 and includes sending a stool sample to the laboratory for analysis. By 2020 Australia will have a Bowel Cancer Screening programme for every 2 years for those aged between 50-74.

If you have any further questions or are concerned by any symptoms, come by and see me in clinic.

Take care & stay healthy 😊
