Therapeutic target
- Pain relief
Therapy recommendations
- Analgesic/pain reliever (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs).
- Without therapy, spontaneous perforation (“opening without external action”) with emptying of the coagulum (blood clot) often occurs.
- See also under “Surgical therapy” and “Further therapy”.
Further note
- Acute hemorrhoidal thrombosis should primarily be treated conservatively. Note: Anal vein thrombosis refers to thrombosis of a perianal vein (as opposed to acute hemorrhoidal thrombosis: Thrombosis (obstruction of a blood vessel by a clot) of one or more hemorrhoidal nodes).
