Hemorrhoid Treatment

Hemorrhoids can cause itching, burning, and pain—especially during bowel movements. At North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL, we provide discreet, same-day care for internal and external hemorrhoids to help you find relief quickly.

Understanding Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus. They may result from straining, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, or constipation. Symptoms can range from mild irritation to bleeding and significant pain. Medical treatment helps reduce inflammation and prevent complications like thrombosis.

Symptoms

  • Itching or discomfort in the anal area
  • Bright red blood during bowel movements
  • Painful lumps near the anus
  • Swelling or burning sensation
  • Difficulty sitting comfortably

When to Seek Care

  • Bleeding lasts more than a few days
  • Over-the-counter creams don't relieve symptoms
  • Pain is interfering with daily life
  • You feel a hard lump or persistent swelling
  • Bowel movements are consistently painful
