Internal hemorrhoids are enlargements of the vascular cushions lying in the wall of the anal canal. This enlargement occurs over time as downward pressure increases in the bowels either through pregnancy, stress, straining, constipation, sedentary lifestyle, etc. Internal hemorrhoids may be as small as a kernel of wheat, or as large as a lemon. Hemorrhoids may or may not bleed, and may give sensations of pressure, feeling of fullness, and incomplete evacuation of bowels, among others. Our Physicians utilize the Keesey method for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, a painless technique of using electric current to shrink the hemorrhoidal tissue. Please see the Non-Surgical Treatments page for more details.
The Oregon Hemorrhoid Clinic provides patients throughout Portland, OR with the most professional care for their most uncomfortable needs. Specializing in the non-surgical treatment of hemorrhoids, we provide superior service to our patients by educating and treating common and severe rectal conditions. Internal hemorrhoids are dangerous because they occur higher up in the anal canal, unnoticed. When straining to remove your bowels or left untreated, internal hemorrhoids may come through the anal opening. This is called a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid.
Internal Hemorrhoid Symptoms:
Itching
Bleeding
Internal pressure sensation
Hemorrhoids are graded on a severity scale of 1-4. Grade 4 hemorrhoids are so expanded that they prolapse from the rectum and cannot be reduced to their internal position even with digital pressure. This grade of hemorrhoid, although most severe, can be successfully treated with Keesey method but may require higher treatment frequency.
Our friendly and professional staff is here to answer any questions you may have about our company or our services. Whatever your rectal condition, we will provide you with the comfort and relief you seek at prices you can afford.
