Thrombosed Haemorrhoid Drainage in Windhoek

About this service

Thrombosed haemorrhoid drainage in Windhoek is a same-day procedure that drains a painful, clotted external haemorrhoid to relieve pressure and pain quickly. A thrombosed haemorrhoid forms when a blood clot develops within an external pile, causing sudden, often severe pain, swelling and a visible firm lump near the anus. Draining the clot can bring rapid relief compared to waiting for it to resolve on its own, especially in the first few days after symptoms start.

Eastgate Clinic performs this drainage in our on-site day theatre for prompt relief. If you have questions about thrombosed haemorrhoid drainage in Windhoek, our team at Eastgate Clinic is happy to talk you through what to expect and how to prepare.

What to expect

• A quick examination confirms the diagnosis before the procedure
• The area is usually numbed with local anaesthesia before drainage
• The procedure itself is brief, often taking just a few minutes
• Pain relief is often noticeable soon after the clot is drained
• Your doctor will advise on wound care and preventing recurrence
