Haemorrhoids

Swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort and bleeding. Haemorrhoids are usually caused by straining during bowel movements, obesity, or pregnancy.

Discomfort is a common symptom, especially during bowel movements or when sitting. Other symptoms include itching and bleeding.

We can provide you with medication to relieve the inflammation and discomfort of the haemorrhoids. We can also prescribe medication to soften stools which will relieve straining which can cause haemorrhoids.
