Colon and Rectum Cancer
Colon and rectal tumors, unfortunately, are the most common. The patient may present with blood with bowel movements, abdominal or rectal pain, altered bowel habits, and weight loss.
The diagnosis should be suspected in any patient with these complaints and made through a series of studies. Once diagnosed, the patient should be staged and specific treatment offered depending on the clinical stage.
IT IS A CURABLE DISEASE IF IT IS DETECTED AND MANAGED IN TIME.

Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are vascular bundles present in the anal canal that can cause discomfort such as bleeding, itching, a foreign body sensation or pain in the event of a thrombosis.
.
CAUSES OF HEMORROIDAL DISEASE
.
There are multiple factors that cause congestion and bleeding of the hemorrhoidal packages, such as age, smoking, diet, alterations in the evacuation habit with constipation or diarrhea and excessive pushing, pregnancy, long periods of sitting, among others.
.
HOW IS HEMORROIDAL DISEASE DIAGNOSED?
.
It is a very common disease that can be diagnosed in consultation with a series of medical questions and a careful physical examination. It should be noted that not all annoyance at the anorectal level are haemorrhoids, which is why the assessment by the colorectal surgeon is very important for its diagnosis and treatment, ruling out other pathologies such as an anal fissure , an anorectal abscess or even a tumor .

TREATING HEMORRHOIDAL DISEASE
.
Treatment will depend on the degree of hemorrhoidal disease and its severity. Lower grades of hemorrhoidal disease can be treated with a high fiber diet, plenty of fluids, and some specific hygiene measures. More advanced grades may require particular medications and even an office procedure such as ligation of the hemorrhoidal bundle or sclerotherapy. The more advanced degrees of hemorrhoidal disease may require surgical management to resect the diseased packages, a procedure that is accompanied by an adequate analgesic scheme to effectively reduce postoperative discomfort.
In case you have discomfort suggestive of hemorrhoidal disease, do not hesitate to go to an expert and trained doctor for its review and management.
See your certified colorectal surgeon for an expert assessment and answer all your questions about this condition
