Perianal Conditions

Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum. Many cases can be managed with non-surgical measures, but where symptoms persist or are more severe, a range of surgical and procedural options are available and will be discussed based on your individual presentation.

Anal Fissure and Fistula-in-Ano

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often causing pain and bleeding, particularly with bowel movements. A fistula-in-ano is an abnormal channel that can form between the anal canal and the skin, often following a previous abscess. Both conditions are assessed individually, with treatment ranging from conservative management through to surgical repair depending on severity and response to initial treatment.
