What Are Hemorrhoids and Anal Fissures?
Hemorrhoids and anal fissures are common conditions that affect the rectal area, causing discomfort and distress. At Valley Urgent Care, we provide compassionate care and effective treatment options to help alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Identifying Symptoms and Causes
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectal area, often caused by increased pressure on the veins due to straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, obesity, or prolonged sitting. Common symptoms of hemorrhoids include:
- Rectal bleeding during bowel movements
- Itching, irritation, or discomfort in the anal region
- Swelling or lumps around the anus
- Pain or discomfort, especially during sitting or bowel movements
Understanding Anal Fissures
Anal fissures are small tears or cracks in the lining of the anal canal, typically caused by trauma during bowel movements, constipation, or diarrhea. Symptoms of anal fissures may include:
- Sharp pain during bowel movements
- Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
- Itching or burning sensation in the anal area
- A visible tear or crack in the skin around the anus
