More common than you think

Up to half of Brazilian adults suffer from hemorrhoids

With early treatment, it can be resolved less invasively and greatly improve quality of life.

Constipation

Straining to pass stool increases pressure on the veins in the anal area and can cause or worsen hemorrhoids.

Family history

Genetic factors can predispose people to hemorrhoids, even at a younger age.

Excess weight

Being overweight increases pressure on the veins in the anal area.

Pregnancy

The enlarged uterus and hormonal changes of pregnancy make hemorrhoids more likely to appear.

Complications that can be avoided

Don't wait for a flare-up to get worse

Thrombosed hemorrhoid

A clot in a hemorrhoidal vein, with intense pain, swelling, and a purplish lump. It requires prompt medical attention.

Rectal bleeding

Bright red blood on the paper or in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement. Persistent bleeding can lead to anemia — and needs to be investigated.

Anal fissure

Small tears in the anal canal that cause sharp pain during bowel movements, often as a complication of untreated hemorrhoids.

Frequently asked questions

Hemorrhoids

Do I need to prepare for the consultation?

No. You can come as usual, even if you're on your period — it doesn't prevent the assessment in any way.

How is it diagnosed?

With anoscopy, a painless in-office exam that shows whether hemorrhoids are internal or external and what grade they are. Treatment is then recommended based on it.

Do hemorrhoids go away on their own?

Unfortunately not. The inflammation may go down and symptoms may ease for a while, but it tends to get worse if left untreated.

Is there a non-surgical treatment?

Yes. Rubber band ligation, done in the office, resolves many cases. Surgery is reserved for more advanced cases — and, when needed, techniques such as laser and botulinum toxin help reduce pain.
