Hemorrhoids : Hemorrhoids are vascular structures in the anal canal which help with stool control. Conservative treatment typically consists of nutrition rich in dietary fiber, uptake of oral fluids to maintain hydration, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)s, sitz baths, and rest.A number of office based procedures may be performed. Rubber band ligation is typically recommended as the first line treatment in those with grade 1 to 3 disease.Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a sclerosing agent, such as phenol, into the hemorrhoid. This causes the vein walls to collapse and the hemorrhoids to shrivel up. A number of surgical techniques may be used if conservative management and simple procedures fail.
