  1. Understanding Hemorrhoids: Internal vs. External In Dubai, many individuals with hemorrhoids are unaware of the differences between internal and external types. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

  2. Why Hemorrhoids Matter in Dubai Hemorrhoids are common in Dubai due to dietary habits, prolonged sitting, and lack of exercise. The hot weather can worsen symptoms if hydration is insufficient. Early consultation with a piles doctor in Dubai is essential for timely relief and to prevent complications. Knowing the exact nature of the condition ensures the most suitable treatment method is used.

  3. What Are Hemorrhoids? Definition & Types Internal Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum or anus, categorized as internal or external. Develop inside the rectum, typically painless but may bleed. External Hemorrhoids Anatomy Refresher Form under the skin near the anus, usually painful, especially if a clot forms. The dentate line separates the rectum from the anus; internal hemorrhoids are above, external below.

  4. Key Differences: Internal vs. External Internal Hemorrhoids External Hemorrhoids • Often unnoticed until symptoms appear. • More noticeable and painful. • Bleed during bowel movements. • Cause swelling or a lump near the anus. • Rarely painful unless prolapsed. • Intense pain if a blood clot forms (thrombosed). • May cause discomfort or itching if prolapsed. • Symptoms include itching, irritation, and pain during sitting or bowel movements. Grading (I-IV) determines severity.

  5. Diagnosis: How Doctors Differentiate 01 02 03 Physical Examination Anoscopy or Proctoscopy Additional Investigations Visual inspection for external hemorrhoids; digital rectal exam for internal ones. Specialized tools to view internal hemorrhoids clearly and confirm severity. Colonoscopy may be recommended to check for other causes of rectal bleeding, especially for those over 50 or with a family history of colorectal disease.

  6. Treatment Options for Hemorrhoids Conservative & At-Home Office-Based Fiber, water, sitz baths, OTC creams, ice packs. Rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, infrared coagulation.

  7. Choosing the Right Treatment in Dubai Dubai offers advanced hemorrhoid care. Treatment depends on symptoms, severity, and lifestyle. Visiting a specialist ensures tailored care. Persistent bleeding, severe pain, or a non-improving lump signals the need for professional care. Red flags include anemia, changes in bowel habits, or family history of colorectal disease. Early intervention prevents complications and ensures faster recovery.

  8. Conclusion & Next Steps Understanding hemorrhoid types helps in choosing the right treatment. Internal hemorrhoids show bleeding and prolapse; external ones cause pain and swelling.
