Clinical Case:
Sarah visits her primary care physician with complaints of rectal pain,
discomfort, and occasional bleeding during bowel movements. She
reports a sensation of swelling and pressure around her anus. The
symptoms have been present for the past few weeks and have started
to affect her daily activities.
Upon examination, the doctor finds external hemorrhoids around
Sarah's anus. The hemorrhoids appear swollen, and there are signs of
minor bleeding. The doctor asks Sarah about her bowel habits and
medical history.
Sarah mentions that she has recently experienced constipation and
often strains during bowel movements. She leads a sedentary lifestyle
and spends long hours sitting at her desk for work. She also admits to a
diet low in fiber and inadequate fluid intake.
Answer: The doctor explains to Sarah that her symptoms are consistent
with external hemorrhoids, which can result from increased pressure on
the veins in the rectal area. The doctor recommends the following
treatment options:
Lifestyle modifications:
Increasing dietary fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, whole grains,
and fiber supplements.
Drinking an adequate amount of water to soften stools.
Engaging in regular physical activity to improve bowel movements and
circulation.
Taking breaks from prolonged sitting or using a cushion or donut-
shaped pillow for added comfort.
Over-the-counter (OTC) remedies:
