Disease/Condition Glossary

Haemorrhoids: Haemorrhoids are also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area(the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful. Piles can be either internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids occur within the rectum as the rectum area has fewer pain receptors, less troublesome and painful. At the same time, external haemorrhoids occur at the outside of the anus and are most painful. Some of the common symptoms of haemorrhoids are itching, pain, swelling, and trouble sitting. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, haemorrhoids become irritated and cause bleeding.

The varicose vein is a condition in which veins (a type of blood vessel) become large and swollen, especially in feet and legs. Veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated (low oxygen)blood from other parts of the body to the heart to make it oxygenated. If these blood vessels get weak or damaged, it can cause swelling of veins or varicose veins. Sometimes, varicose veins do not cause any pain, and symptoms at that time included dark purple or blue colour veins and twisted or swelling veins. When painful signs and symptoms occur, like heavy feeling in legs, throbbing pain, swelling in lower legs, and skin discolouration around a varicose vein.

Diabetic retinopathy is a health condition that happens when the retina's blood vessels (the black part of the eye) get damaged in persons who have diabetes. Initially, this disease does not cause any symptoms. Still, as this disease progresses, it can cause blurred vision, fluctuating vision, impaired colour vision, dark or empty areas in your vision, and vision loss.
