Hemorrhoids Surgery Dubai

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that may be internal (inside the rectum) or external (outside the rectum). Modern surgical management has advanced significantly, with minimally invasive techniques enabling faster recovery. At Neuro Spinal Hospital Dubai, state-of-the-art technologies and surgical measures are used for hemorrhoids surgery.

Dr. Sadir Alrawi, Director of Surgical & Oncology Services at Neuro Spinal Hospital, leads a skilled team of specialists proficient in handling even the most complex hemorrhoid cases.

Symptoms of Hemorrhoids

Pain or discomfort in the anal region.
Itching and irritation around the anus.
Swelling or a lump near the anus.
Bleeding during bowel movements (visible in the toilet bowl or on toilet paper).
Leakage of feces or difficulty in cleaning the anal area.
A feeling of incomplete bowel movement.

These symptoms may also indicate other conditions, such as anal fissures or colorectal cancer. A proper evaluation by a qualified specialist is essential.

Causes of Hemorrhoids

Factors that may contribute to hemorrhoids include:

Straining during bowel movements due to constipation or diarrhea.
Pregnancy and childbirth — added pressure on rectal veins.
Obesity, which increases pressure on pelvic veins.
Sedentary lifestyle with prolonged sitting or standing.
Aging, as tissues supporting rectal veins weaken over time.

Preventive measures such as a high-fiber diet, hydration, and regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk.

Diagnosis

At Neuro Spinal Hospital, experienced specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate hemorrhoids, which may include:

Physical examination of the anal and rectal area.
Digital rectal examination.
Anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy for internal visualization.
Colonoscopy to rule out other conditions.

Treatment of Hemorrhoids

While prevention is key, untreated hemorrhoids may worsen with time. Treatment options at Neuro Spinal Hospital Dubai include:

Non-Operative Procedures

Rubber Band Ligation: A tight band is applied around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply, causing it to shrink. Typically requires multiple sessions spaced weeks apart. Mild discomfort may occur but the procedure is generally not painful.
Injection Sclerotherapy: A chemical solution is injected into the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and stop bleeding. Most patients report little or no pain with this treatment.

Non-Operative Procedures

Rubber Band Ligation: A tight band is applied to cut off blood supply, causing hemorrhoids to shrink. Typically done in multiple sessions.
Injection Sclerotherapy: A chemical injection shrinks hemorrhoids and stops bleeding; effective for small and internal hemorrhoids.
Infrared Photocoagulation: Heat, infrared light, or extreme cold is used to shrink hemorrhoids. Often combined with anoscopy.
Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (THD): Ultrasound locates blood vessels feeding hemorrhoids, which are then tied off. Effective but more costly and associated with longer-lasting pain.

Operative Procedures

Hemorrhoidectomy: Performed for large and severe hemorrhoids. Most effective but carries higher risks of pain and infection.
Hemorrhoidopexy (Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy): Uses surgical stapling to reposition and reduce blood flow to prolapsed hemorrhoids. Usually same-day surgery.
Circumferential Hemorrhoidectomy (Whitehead’s procedure): Complete excision of hemorrhoids in a circular fashion. Done under spinal or epidural anesthesia.
Submucosal Hemorrhoidectomy: Suitable for 2nd–4th degree hemorrhoids. Reduces postoperative pain and lowers risk of anal stenosis.

What You Can Do

Lifestyle modifications play a vital role in recovery and prevention:

Eat a high-fiber diet to ease bowel movements.
Stay hydrated to soften stool.
Avoid straining during bowel movements.
Maintain proper hygiene with gentle cleaning after bowel movements.
Engage in regular physical activity to improve circulation.
