Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Piles: Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. Haemorrhoids can be external or internal. Internal haemorrhoids develop within the rectum and anus, whereas external haemorrhoids develop outside of the anus region. Piles cause pain, itching and bleeding. They also cause trouble with sitting. Haemorrhoids are not life-threatening; they often go away on their own. Symptoms include itching, irritation, pain around the anus, swelling near the anus region, painful bowel movements, and blood in the stool.
Anal fissure: Anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus that causes pain and bleeding during or after a bowel movement. Anal fissures generally heal independently, and if the condition lasts for more than 8 weeks, it can be considered chronic. Sometimes, surgery may also be needed, depending on the condition. Symptoms include tears of skin around the anus region, burning sensation, pain, and blood during a bowel movement.
FAQs
Beclomethasone+lignocaine+phenylephrine is used to treat pain and bleeding associated with anal fissures, external or internal haemorrhoids (piles), post-haemorrhoidectomy pain (pain after operation done to remove piles), and proctitis (inflammation of the rectum).
Beclomethasone+lignocaine+phenylephrine is a combination of three drugs: beclomethasone, phenylephrine, and lignocaine. Beclomethasone blocks the chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Phenylephrine decreases swelling by shrinking the blood vessels in the affected area. Lignocaine blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreasing the sensation of pain.
No, Beclomethasone+lignocaine+phenylephrine should not be used on the face or other body parts. It is intended to treat pain and bleeding in piles and anal fissures. It should be applied in the anorectal area only.
The symptoms of anal fissure and piles are similar. However, an anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus, whereas piles are the inflamed and swollen veins of the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding during stool passage.
