Haemorrhoids

If you're experiencing pain, itching, bleeding or discomfort caused by haemorrhoids (piles), book a private face-to-face consultation with one of our qualified Prescribing Pharmacists. During your consultation, we'll assess your symptoms, medical history, bowel habits and lifestyle factors to determine the most appropriate treatment. Where clinically appropriate, we can recommend or prescribe effective treatments to relieve symptoms and support healing. We'll also provide practical advice to help prevent recurrence and identify when further medical assessment may be required.

Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen blood vessels in or around the anus that can cause discomfort, itching, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. They are commonly linked to constipation, straining, pregnancy, prolonged sitting, or low-fibre diets.

Symptoms can range from mild irritation to painful swelling. At our clinic, we offer confidential advice and effective treatment options to help relieve symptoms and improve comfort.

Treatment may include creams, ointments, pain relief, stool softeners, and lifestyle advice such as increasing fibre and fluid intake. Early treatment and healthy bowel habits can help prevent symptoms from worsening or returning.
