Hemorrhoid Clinic

Early diagnosis and treatment is
the best prevention of hemorrhoids!

Hemorrhoids is a general term for any condition that affects the anus, including hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, anal itching, and anal sexually transmitted diseases (condyloma). Due to the nature of the anus, it is not easy to talk about, which often leads to delays in treatment.

With early and proper treatment, it can be easily treated without causing daily inconvenience and worsening of symptoms. At Gangdong Seoul Surgery Clinic, we offer a wide range of diagnostic and treatment services.

What is a hemorrhoid?

Hemorrhoids are located in the middle of the anal canal and are called internal hemorrhoids (female hemorrhoids) if they occur inside the anus and external hemorrhoids (male hemorrhoids) if they occur outside the anus.

However, more than half of all patients present to the doctor with a combination of both types of hemorrhoids. Double internal hemorrhoids are graded from 1 to 4 depending on the degree of prolapse, with a third-degree hemorrhoid being the one that becomes prolapsed after a bowel movement and requires a hand to enter, Third-degree hemorrhoids are treated surgically.

    • Non-surgical treatments

      rubber ligation, cryotherapy, infrared light therapy, laser therapy, etc.

    • Surgical treatment

      surgery by a skilled surgeon to remove hemorrhoid clumps at the root.

What is anal fissure?

Anal fissure is literally a tear in the anus, a tear in the anal canal that causes severe pain and bleeding during or immediately after bowel movements.

It is initially caused by direct damage to the anus from hard stools, and when it becomes chronic, it is thought to be caused by increased pressure on the anal sphincter.

  • 01

    Types of Anal Fissures

    Acute Anal Fissure

    tearing caused by constipation, resulting in painful or burning bowel movements, and small amounts of red blood on or dripping from tissues. Conservative treatment is recommended for this condition.

    Chronic Anal Fissure

    An acute anal fissure that heals and worsens, or does not improve and becomes infected with bacteria, causing structural changes in the anus, resulting in three characteristic findings: skin tails, thickening papillae, and anal ulcers.

  • 02

    Symptoms of Anal Fissure

    • Bright red bleeding

    • Tearing pain

    • Severe itching

    • Constipation (avoiding bowel movements due to pain)

    • Pseudopapules forming on the outside of the hemorrhoid

  • 03

    Treatments of Anal Fissure

    Treatments of anal fissure are divided into conservative and surgical treatments, depending on the severity of the condition.

    • Conservative treatment

      Sitz baths, diet, bowel habit modification, and medication.

    • Surgical treatment

      Relatively simple surgery, such as an internal sphincterotomy.

Perianal Abscesses and Fistulas

In the anal canal, there is an anal gland that secretes slippery lubricant to prevent damage to the anal canal when defecating, but if the entrance of this anal gland is blocked by fecal matter or infection occurs due to bacterial infection, inflammation progresses around the anal canal and forms a pus bag, it is called a perianal abscess, and as it gradually progresses, it forms a tunnel and comes out through a weak part such as around the anus or buttocks (or after surgical incision of the abscess), and a composition that repeatedly discharges secretions or pus around the anus is formed, which is called fistula.

  • 01

    Symptoms of Perianal Abscesses and Fistulas

    Symptoms of a perianal abscess

    Anal pain not related to bowel movements, anal lumps, and a fever like a cold.

    Symptoms of an anal fistula

    A hard lump in the anal area that is tender or itchy to the touch, usually with pus and discharge, and sometimes bleeding.

  • 02

    Treatment of Perianal Abscesses and Fistulas

    The only treatment for abscesses and fistulas is surgery, and if not performed early, they can form complicated fistulas that are difficult to treat.

    • Drainage surgery

      If an abscess is present

    • Radical surgery

      Cut or resect the entire fistula tube

    • Drainage and fistuloplasty

      performed at the same time for fistulous abscesses
