# Understanding Internal and External Hemorrhoids, Chronic Fissure in Ano, and Common Proctology Conditions in Summers
Proctology conditions are particularly common during the summer months, and understanding them is crucial for timely treatment and relief. Dr. Karan R. Rawat, the best piles doctor, fissure doctor, and laser surgeon in Agra, provides expert insights into these conditions.
## Internal and External Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. They are classified into two types:
### Internal Hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids are located inside the rectum. They are typically painless but can cause bleeding during bowel movements. Symptoms include:
- Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl.
- Protrusion of hemorrhoids during bowel movements, which may retract back on their own or need manual pushing back.
### External Hemorrhoids
External hemorrhoids develop under the skin around the anus. They can be painful and may itch or bleed. Symptoms include:
- Itching or irritation in the anal region.
- Pain or discomfort, especially while sitting.
- Swelling around the anus.
- Bleeding during bowel movements.
## Chronic Fissure in Ano
An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) that lines the anus. Chronic fissures are those that persist for more than eight weeks. Symptoms of chronic fissure in ano include:
- Severe pain during bowel movements.
- Pain lasting several minutes to hours after bowel movements.
- Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper.
- A visible crack in the skin around the anus.
- A small lump or skin tag near the fissure.
### Causes of Hemorrhoids and Fissures
Several factors can contribute to the development of hemorrhoids and fissures, including:
- **Straining during bowel movements:** This is often due to constipation or diarrhea.
- **Prolonged sitting:** Especially on the toilet.
- **Obesity:** Excess weight puts pressure on the pelvic veins.
- **Pregnancy:** Increased pressure on the pelvic area during pregnancy.
- **Low-fiber diet:** Leads to constipation and straining.
## Other Common Proctology Conditions in Summers
Summers can exacerbate certain proctology conditions due to changes in diet, hydration, and activity levels. Some common conditions include:
### Pruritus Ani
Pruritus ani is intense itching around the anus. It can be caused by:
- Excessive sweating.
- Poor hygiene.
- Certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, cola, alcohol, chocolate, and spicy foods.
### Anal Abscess
An anal abscess is a painful condition in which a collection of pus develops near the anus. Causes include:
- Infection of an anal gland.
- Blocked anal gland ducts.
### Proctitis
Proctitis is inflammation of the lining of the rectum. Symptoms include:
- Rectal pain.
- Diarrhea.
- Bleeding.
- Discharge of mucus.
### Managing Proctology Conditions in Summers
To prevent and manage proctology conditions during the summer, consider the following tips:
- **Stay hydrated:** Drink plenty of water to avoid constipation.
- **Eat a high-fiber diet:** Incorporate fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to maintain regular bowel movements.
- **Maintain good hygiene:** Clean the anal area gently but thoroughly.
- **Avoid prolonged sitting:** Take breaks to stand and move around.
