What Exactly Are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoid treatment targets swollen, inflamed veins in the lower rectum or anus—picture them as the rectal version of varicose veins. Everyone has these veins, but daily pressure from straining, pregnancy, weightlifting, long sits at a desk, or even a chronic cough can make them stretch and bulge.
There are two main types:
- Internal hemorrhoids: Form inside the rectum. They rarely hurt but may bleed bright red, especially after a bowel movement.
- External hemorrhoids: Develop under the skin around the anus. They can itch, burn, or form a painful lump if a blood clot (thrombosis) develops.
Mild cases often calm down with more fiber, extra hydration, and warm baths. When symptoms linger—or bleeding creates worry—it’s time for a specialist. That’s where we come in.
Hemorrhoid Treatment That’s Minutes Away
Relief is closer than you think. Hemorrhoid Institute has a Shelton office on Commerce Drive sits about nine miles—roughly a 12-minute drive—from most Trumbull neighborhoods. Fairfield and Milford clinics are also within a quick ten-mile loop
Fast, Proven Hemorrhoid Treatments We Offer
Infrared Coagulation (IRC)
A quick burst of infrared light seals the hemorrhoid’s blood supply so it shrinks and disappears—no incision, no anesthesia, back to normal the same day.
Rubber-Band Ligation
For internal hemorrhoids that need a little more persuasion, we slip a tiny elastic band around the base. Cutting off blood flow makes the tissue fall away within a week or two.
Sclerotherapy
A small injection triggers scarring inside the swollen vein so it collapses over several weeks. It’s a good option for early-stage hemorrhoids or for patients on blood thinners who can’t have banding.
Do You Really Need a Specialist?
Watch for these warning signs—each is common, yet still worth a medical check-in:
- Bright-red spotting after a bowel movement
- Persistent itching or burning
- A lump that doesn’t retreat
- Mucus discharge or a feeling you can’t fully empty
Rectal bleeding can also signal other conditions, so don’t self-diagnose.
Risk Factors We See a Lot in Trumbull
- Sedentary desk work. Many local employers keep staff seated for long stretches, increasing pelvic pressure.
- Long commutes. Sitting in traffic for 30 minutes or more each way increases your risk.
- High-stress lifestyles. Tight deadlines and grab-and-go meals can lead to constipation—a hemorrhoid trigger.
Tweaking fiber, hydration and daily movement lowers your odds, but when symptoms persist, in-office care beats over-the-counter creams every time.
