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.

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.

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.
