External haemorrhoids have rapidly emerged as a common yet extremely painful medical condition in today’s fast-paced lifestyle, significantly affecting a person’s daily routine and overall quality of life. This condition develops due to swelling of veins in the outer area of the anus, often caused by increased pressure on blood flow. Irregular lifestyle habits, low-fiber diets, chronic constipation, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, and obesity are considered the primary contributing factors.
In the initial stages, the symptoms of external haemorrhoids may appear mild, but over time they can progress into severe pain, swelling, itching, burning sensation, and bleeding. Many patients experience painful lumps outside the anal region, making it difficult to sit, walk, or carry out normal day-to-day activities. Due to embarrassment or hesitation, people often delay seeking medical help, which can worsen the condition.
Dr. Fayaz Ahmed, an experienced physician at PMC Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals), Sujanpur, emphasizes that timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment of external haemorrhoids are crucial. The condition is diagnosed through physical examination, detailed medical history, and, when required, modern diagnostic techniques. Accurate assessment helps determine whether the disease is in its early stage or has progressed to an advanced condition.
According to Dr. Fayaz Ahmed, treatment for external haemorrhoids depends on the severity of the patient’s condition. In early cases, effective relief can be achieved through medications, stool-softening measures, a fiber-rich diet, adequate water intake, and lifestyle modifications. However, in severe or long-standing cases, safe and long-term treatment is possible through advanced medical and surgical techniques.
At PMC Hospital, patients receive personalized and compassionate care supported by state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experienced doctors. The hospital’s mission goes beyond treatment—it aims to restore patients to a pain-free and healthier life.
Dr. Fayaz Ahmed also advises patients not to ignore the early symptoms of piles. Consulting a specialist at the right time not only provides relief from pain but can also help avoid complex procedures such as surgery.
