Many conditions may cause symptoms very similar to those caused by hemorrhoids.
Some of these conditions include Anal Fissures, Pruritus Ani (anal itching), Anal Warts (condyloma), anal or rectal cancer, to name a few. All of these can present with similar symptoms including rectal bleeding, anal or rectal pain, and change in bowel habits.
Therefore, one cannot stress the importance of proper diagnosis by a specialist. Colon and Rectal Surgeons at Liberty Hemorrhoid Center are specifically trained to do so.
Anal warts (or anal condyloma) are growths caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The warts can affect the area in and around the anus. They often present growths in and around the anus.
Untreated HPV infection may lead to an increased risk of anal cancer if not treated. Topical medications can be used to treat smaller warts, but larger warts may require surgery.
