1. What are Haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoids, or piles, are swollen veins that form inside and outside your anus and rectum. They can be painful and uncomfortable and cause rectal bleeding.
Haemorrhoids are very common in both men and women.
Symptoms may include:
2. How are Haemorrhoids diagnosed?
Treatment for haemorrhoids varies depending on the size, number, location and what symptoms they’re causing. You can often relieve the mild pain, swelling and inflammation of haemorrhoids with home treatments.
Medications treat your symptoms and can help with symptoms like pain and bleeding. In some cases, surgery is needed.
Haemorrhoids typically resolve on their own and with home remedies like high-fibre diets, exercise, and haemorrhoid creams. However, if they become severe and chronic, especially in internal haemorrhoids, they can be treated with a modern minimally invasive procedure – Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolisation.
Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolisation (HAE) is less painful than traditional haemorrhoid removal surgery and allows quicker recovery.
4. What is Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolisation?
Haemorrhoidal Artery Embolisation (HAE) is an interventional radiology treatment for internal haemorrhoids that offers long-lasting relief from rectal bleeding.
Haemorrhoids form when abnormal connections are made between arteries and veins in the rectum. Embolisation works by blocking these abnormal blood vessel connections, eliminating bleeding.
The US FDA & NHS (UK) has approved the procedure. The procedure is done by a doctor called an interventional radiologist who specialises in treating conditions without using major surgery.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate, is a condition in which the prostate grows in size. The prostate is a small gland, about the size of a walnut, that rests below your bladder and in front of your rectum, surrounding part of your urethra.
If you have trouble getting pregnant and your doctor says it is because your fallopian tubes are blocked, a non-surgical procedure called Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) may be the optimal solution for you.

Diabetes can also affect blood flow to your legs and feet. Arteries of people with diabetes can become narrowed or blocked( Peripheral Artery Disease). Poor circulation reduces the delivery of oxygen, nutrients and immune cells to the foot making it difficult for a diabetes-related foot ulcer or infection to heal.
The ends of bones in your joints are capped in a layer of tough, smooth cartilage that cushions, lubricates and protects the ends of your bones. If the cartilage is worn down or damaged your bones rub together when you use that joint.

Blood is carried back from the testes to the heart by veins. The veins have valves to prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction. When the valves fail to work correctly, blood flows downwards into the scrotal area, increasing the pressure in the veins of the testes.
Varicose veins are veins under the skin of the legs. The blood moves towards the heart by one-way valves in the veins. When your vein walls are weak and your valves are not working right, blood backs up, making the veins widen, bulge, and twist.
