Hemorrhoid Clinic

The Hemorrhoid Clinic at Rajavej Hospital Chiang Mai is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing hemorrhoids and other anorectal conditions. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area which can cause discomfort, itching, bleeding, and sometimes pain. The clinic provides the following services: 

• Consultation and Diagnosis: Experienced proctologists or colorectal surgeons are available for consultations, to listen to patient symptoms, conduct physical examinations, and if necessary, order additional tests like an anoscopy or a colonoscopy. 

• Non-Surgical Treatment: Initial treatments for hemorrhoids are often non-surgical and may include lifestyle changes like diet modification (increasing fiber and water intake), exercise, avoiding straining during bowel movements, and over-the-counter remedies. 

• Minimally Invasive Procedures: If hemorrhoids persist or are severe, minimally invasive procedures such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or infrared coagulation might be recommended. 

• Surgical Treatment: In cases where hemorrhoids are large or not responding to other treatments, surgical methods like a hemorrhoidectomy or hemorrhoid stapling might be required. 

• Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure the success of the treatment and manage any recurring or new symptoms. 

• Education and Prevention: Patients are educated about preventive measures to avoid recurrence of hemorrhoids and maintain a healthy digestive system. 

The Hemorrhoid Clinic at Rajavej Hospital Chiang Mai specializes in diagnosing and managing hemorrhoids through consultation, lifestyle changes, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery. They offer follow-up care and educate patients on prevention and maintaining digestive health.
