Treatment of chronic forms
At stage 1-2 chronic form of haemorrhoids can be treated by invasive methods. It cryotherapy, photocoagulation, ligation using latex rings, sclerotherapy. But these methods are contraindicated in these situations:
the presence of anal fissures;
thrombosis availability of nodes;
the presence of an acute abscess, inflammation of the perineum and the anal canal.
The treatment itself is as follows:
sclerotherapy is a method in which a node is entered sclerosing agent in an amount of up to 2 mm. This substance causes the bonding, the flattening of the vessels, that is, bring significant relief. You can work with only 2 units, otherwise will develop a strong pain. Re-intervention can be carried out only after 2 weeks;
use of latex rings involves overlaying them to the node to shut off its power supply. Thereafter nodes together with the rings are removed (when the tissue die). This occurs about a week after surgery. In some cases, it is recommended repeat the operation;
fotokoaguyaltsiya is a procedure during which the anus is introduced fiber. Under the influence of heat vessels glued assembly. The tip should be applied to each host from 2 to 6 times;
Cryotherapy - one of the safest procedures. In this case, a node is frozen, thaw occurs after death of tissue, there is a small wound. Conduct such intervention under local anesthesia, a lot of time is not required.
Some procedures, such as minimally invasive, do not require general anesthesia, but it all depends on the complexity of the disease. For cryotherapy or laser intervention may require an epidural.

A blood clot is removed using local anesthesia, and the patient does not feel anything.
The unit entered a piece of bandage that will stop the bleeding and prevent further clot formation. On the outer surface of the assembly as bandage, which can be removed after 6-12 hours after surgery. Often doctors prescribe sitz baths with hot water. Pain disappear after such a procedure, but if you still left with a feeling of discomfort, it is prescribed to patients acetaminophen, ibuprofen, which have analgesic effect.
At loss of hemorrhoids prolapse that is necessary intervention of a doctor, you can not do anything on their own. For the most part such intervention ends with the doctor gently reduce a portion precipitated by pushing on it with your finger. But there are cases when the node is nevpravlyaemym or drop out after the procedure. In this case only possible surgical intervention, which is capable of much alleviate the condition.
If the fallen node remains in place, that is in a state of clamping the anus, it is possible the development of necrosis. Fabric stops receiving the necessary power for blood, gradually die off.
