Do Sentinel Piles Go Away?
Medical practioners find it challenging
diagnosing hemorrhoids. This difficulty is worse when it concern
sentinel piles, because they are in fact
not hemorrhoids at all. A sentinel pile is also known as a sentinel
anal skin tag or rectal skin tag, and, for the more medically minded, may also
be called a hypertrophied papilla or fibro-epithelial polyp. In this article I
will be using knowledge from my accumulated studies on this concern to
adequately answer the worry, do sentinel piles go away.
Sentinel piles is not contagious, but may be
due to a lesion, inflammation, anal injury or skin left behind after a
hemorrhoid treatment.This type of piles is common and usually harmless growths that hang off the skin around the outside of the anus at the front edge at the junction of the anus and the perineum.
Generally speaking, sentinel piles are not a serious risk to health, but they can cause serious issues with your cleanliness after going to the toilet.
They disturb your cleanliness in that, they trap moisture and become irritated. Anal tags can be found around the anal periphery and may be single or multiple. The anterior one is called the sentinel tag.
Although sentinel piles is not visible, they shouldn’t cause the same problems that are common with suffering from internal and external piles.
How to Completely Cured Sentinel Piles?
Following a very healthy fiber rich diet,
reducing the chance of constipation, and not being too rough when wiping the
area, then all can gradually be well with time.
Topical
anesthetics, such as lidocaine, can be used for anal pain and warm tub baths (sitz baths) for
10-20 minutes several times a day (especially after bowel movements) are
soothing and promote relaxation of the anal muscles, helping the healing
process
These
non-operative measures will help achieve resolution of pain and bleeding and,
potentially, heal greater than half of acute fissures with virtually no side
effects.
If you discover that an anal fissure has occurred, then a visit to the doctors would be advisable because anal fissures can become infected and be the cause of other complications.
Medications may be prescribed, when a patient has a
more chronic-type fissure, which lead to the relaxation of the anal sphincter
muscles. The surgeon will explain the benefits and side-effects of each of the
medications to the patients, the patient will then chose the medications to
use. Below is a list of the medications.
Nitroglycerin Ointment
Nitroglycerin
is a commonly prescribed medication that is compounded with petroleum ointment
to help treat both acute and chronic anal fissures. Nitroglycerin
works by chemically relaxing the internal anal sphincter muscle, which
decreases sphincter pressure and subsequently increases blood flow to the
injury site, resulting in healing of the fissure.Healing occurs in at least 50%
of chronic fissures.
Calcium Channel Blockers.
These
medications include diltiazam and nifedipine. Both work in a fashion
similar to nitroglycerin ointment and have been associated with healing of chronic
anal fissures in 65% to 95% of patients.
Surgical Options.
Your
colon and rectal surgeon will discuss the risks
and benefits of each method and
both of you will determine the best option for you particular scenario.
Botulinum
toxin (botox®) injection
Botulinum
toxin is injected directly into the internal anal sphincter muscle to promote
anal sphincter relaxation and subsequent healing. This injection
results in full healing in approximately 50-80% of
patients. Recurrences may occur in up to 40% of patients, but
patients may be re-injected with good rates of fissure
healing. Patients in whom Botulinum toxin injection fails are oftern
recommended for traditional surgical sphincterotomy.
Lateral
internal sphincterotomy
Precise
and controlled division of the internal anal sphincter muscle is a highly
effective and commonly used method to treat chronic anal fissures, with success
rates reported to be over 90%. The main risks of internal
sphincterotomy are variable degrees of stool or gas incontinence you.
Summarily.
From the above
mention points, you can confirm with me that sentinel piles can be carefully
handle even if the situation degenerate to the anal fissure. Most importantly
you should chose your curative option with caution, carefully following and
comparing the risk and benefits of
