Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Haemorrhoids: lso known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swollen and become painful. Piles can be either internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids occur within the rectum, as the rectum area has fewer pain receptors and is less troublesome and painful. At the same time, external haemorrhoids occur at the outside of the anus and are most painful. Some of the common symptoms of haemorrhoids are itching, pain, swelling, and trouble sitting. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, haemorrhoids become irritated and cause bleeding.
Varicose veins: It is a condition in which veins (a type of blood vessel) become large and swollen, especially in feet and legs. Veins carry deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood from other body parts to the heart to make it oxygenated. If these blood vessels get weak or damaged, it can cause swelling of veins or varicose veins. Sometimes, varicose veins do not cause any pain, and symptoms at that time included dark purple or blue veins and twisted or swelling veins when painful signs and symptoms occur like heavy feeling in legs, throbbing pain, swelling in lower legs, skin discolouration around a varicose vein.
