Disease/Condition Glossary

Haemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids or piles are inflamed and bulging veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, agony, and bleeding. External and internal haemorrhoids are also possible. Internal haemorrhoids form within the rectum and anus, while external haemorrhoids form outside the anus. Piles induce discomfort, itching, and bleeding. They also make sitting difficult. Itching, irritation, pain around the anus, swelling near the anus region, unpleasant bowel motions, and blood in stools are all symptoms.

Varicose Veins: Varicose veins are constricted, twisted and enlarged veins in the lower limbs that occur due to malfunction of valves that causes blood to pool in the veins leading to heaviness, itching, swelling and pain. For most people, the cause is generally harmless. It is a superficial condition, more or less. Rarely they may be symptomatic of an underlying circulatory problem.

Diabetic retinopathy: 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.
