Suggest Treatment For Painful Haemorrhoids
When I had my children I developed piles. Sometimes they can be quite painful and don t ever disappear completely after over the counter treatments. I have to push them back in as they are painful. They also bleed occasionally or I have clear mucas too. Is this part of haemorrhoids and is there any other treatments before I have to look at surgery?

I have gone through your question and understood your concern. It appears that you are having Grade III heamorrhoids as you have to puch it back and it’s also painful. There are four degrees of haemorrhoids, first two are treated conservatively and with injection sclerotherapy while grade 3 and 4 needs operative management. You need a review by general surgeon. Who after performing Digital rectal examination and proctoscopy will assess the exact grades of the disease and will then guide you about further course of treament. Which most likely will be operation, as hemorrhoids of grade 3 and above needs operation. But the good thing is that hemorrhoids are easily treatable. Newer techniques like Haemorrhoidal artery ligation operation (HALO), have much better results with shorter hospital stay and early return to active life.
