Haemorrhoids: what are they?

Haemorrhoids are not really an affliction or a disease. They are vascular structures located in the anal area and rectum, in both men and women. In reality, a person is said to “have haemorrhoids ” to designate a particular condition of the structures in question.

In the case of dilation, the swelling of the veins may be accompanied by bleeding , as well as itching. In the majority of cases, affected individuals realise this problem when they have a bowel movement.

As such, this medical complication is not serious. However, only an expert will be able to determine the existence (or otherwise) of underlying or more serious pathologies. Proctologists and gastroenterologists are among the most sought-after specialists. Colonoscopy and/or sigmoidoscopy help to rule out or detect other ailments.

Finally, it should be noted that there are two types of haemorrhoids, according to the popular definition of the term:

• Internal haemorrhoids. As their name suggests, these are located inside the rectum.
  
• External haemorrhoids , which form a constellation around the anus. These are the first to be recognised by those affected.

What are the main causes of haemorrhoids?

Bleeding, swelling, pain and even haemorrhoidal prolapse can be explained by a number of factors .

• Poor dietary hygiene can lead to disturbances, particularly during defecation. The diets of the patients concerned often lack fibre. Let’s not forget the adage: five fruits and vegetables a day! It’s also a good idea to keep properly hydrated to avoid haemorrhoids.
  
• A sedentary lifestyle (in other words, not moving enough) is also thought to be one of the causes of this condition. Lack of sport/physical activity compromises the efficiency of blood circulation. Particularly that which irrigates the analregion..
  
• Sitting down a lot increases venous pressure.
  
• Difficulty in defecating can lead to haemorrhoids , often as a result of irritation . These include diarrhoea and constipation.

Whatever the reason, this itching, discomfort or even paindisrupts your daily routine. To the point of compromising motivation and damaging morale.

If haemorrhoids are a real pest, consider consulting a member of the medical profession. This is when some Europeans plan to have an operation in Turkey. Let’s find out why.

Did you know? Haemorrhoids, the dread of horsemen

Haemorrhoids, in the truest sense of the word, i.e. the anal and rectal veins , have to show great resilience during riding sessions. At the dawn of the famous battle of Waterloo, Napoleon himself was treated for haemorrhoidal complications. Generally speaking, horsemen and riders are more exposed to these irritations.

Haemorrhoid treatment: why go to Turkey?

Obviously, it’s not essential to plan a medical trip to Turkey if you suffer from haemorrhoids. However, there are a number of advantages to this option . Every year, many patients from all over the world fly to this country, which is sometimes referred to as the Land of Anatolia. There were 1,800,000 of them in 2023.

The most common reasons for choosing this country are..

• Cost savings compared to operations in France or other European/Western countries. Even taking travel costs into account, medical tourism is cheaper.
  
• Waiting times are reduced. Although there are no precise statistics on this, it is sometimes possible to book an appointment within a month (or even less), whereas French doctors do not see patients for three or six months.
  
• This is a great opportunity to combine medical care with a holiday. Turkey is a very popular destination . Its contrasting landscapes, cultural goldmines and Mediterranean climate, depending on the region, give an exotic flavour to operations. Or at least in the moments that follow and precede them!
• The reputation of Turkish doctors. Turkey can count on a panel of renowned surgeons .

You’ve just learned more about why. Now what about the how ? What is the general course of haemorrhoid treatment ?

Laser haemorrhoidectomy in Turkey: how does the procedure work?

There are several alternatives when it comes to treating haemorrhoids. Practitioners will determine which is most suitable depending on the level of severity, among other parameters.

1. First and foremost, we suggest that you make an appointment with a French doctor.
   
2. He/she will be able to determine theprocedure you need to treat your haemorrhoids.
   
3. One possibility is infrared coagulation. This uses heat to soothe internal haemorrhoids. Another option is sclerotherapy. This involves injecting a special solution into the affected area. Finally, haemorrhoidectomy is the most advanced form of surgery . The expert will remove so-called “severe” haemorrhoids or those causing prolapse.
   
4. The procedure is painless. The anaesthetic allows you to go through the various stages with complete peace of mind.
   
5. Depending on the “variant” chosen, the recovery time will be shorter or longer. So a medical trip to Turkey helps you to relax and get through your ‘convalescence’ in a different setting.
   
6. Certain instructions are given to patients after the operation. To ensure the best possible recovery , we urge you to follow these recommendations! The use of sitz baths is one of the most common recommendations.
