The problems of the rectum have been equally urgent for both men and women
in all times. These diseases completely violate the usual way of life, and
every trip to the toilet, in the end, becomes anguish. "Grandmother-style"
self-medication often gives absolutely no result. Moreover, it allows the
inflammatory process to continue developing in the rectum. Before, the only way
out in such cases was a major surgical procedure which was followed by a
painful recovery period. However, nowadays new methods and technologies can
achieve excellent results without invasive surgical operation.
Proctology is a branch of medicine devoted to the study of the rectum, its
structure and physiology, pathology and treatment of diseases. In the "Oxford
Medical" clinic, we offer the treatment of many proctologic disorders (anal
fissures, haemorrhoids, anal itching and some forms of paraproctitis) at any
stage of the disease. It is worth noting that only the early stages can be
treated effectively and painlessly in an out-patient mode without the
traditional surgical intervention and without interruption from the usual way
of life. Do not delay your trip to the doctor. In fact, the sooner you contact
the physician, the easier your medical treatment will be.
The Proctological Clinic of "The Oxford Medical" holds a large armoury of
diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. Experienced proctologists can provide you
with an accurate diagnosis and select individual treatment. The most common
"unpleasant" illness is a haemorrhoid. It is a pathological increase of
hemorrhoids’ size. It can cause bleeding, prolapse from the anus and
inflammation. The disease has 4 stages. The selection of treatment largely
depends on the stage and the form of the disease. It is possible to avoid the
scalpel only on the first two stages and sometimes on the early third
stage.
In “The Oxford Medical” clinic we use modern proctology methods, including
the ligation of hemorrhoidal bolus with latex rings, the method of infrared
coagulation, which allows to treat hemorrhoids without surgery. One of the most
effective treatments for hemorrhoids is the technique of latex ring ligation.
Latex ring, placed on the hemorrhoidal bolus, causes the rejection of the
haemorrhoid. This kind of treatment is painless and fast, which is an
advantage; however, it is applicable only for the treatment of internal
hemorrhoids.
For the external form, the Surgitron device can be used. The effect of
infrared coagulation is achieved using thermal energy which interacts with the
haemorrhoid wall tissues and vessels, causing subsequent sclerosis of the
haemorrhoid. Here, the patient also avoids the long recovery period, pain,
restrictive diets after the procedure and the inability to maintain an active
lifestyle. However, anal pain is not always caused by the hemorrhoids. Anal
fissure is another quite common pathology of the rectum. It arises from the
influence of various factors. The healing process takes a long time and is
often associated with some pain. In the early stages, special unctures and
suppositories are very effective. Therefore, it is crucial to start the
treatment as soon as possible. In our medical center the treatment of anal
fissures is efficient, quick and painless. “The Oxford Medical” gives our
patients confidence, optimism and hope to overcome even the toughest
diseases.
