Your Experienced Doctor for Haemorrhoids in Vienna at the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160
Expertise
Dr Bernd Weiner, an experienced doctor for haemorrhoids in Vienna, offers you an individual diagnosis and treatment – tailored to your symptoms and needs.
Haemorrhoids are among the most common conditions in the rectal area: around every second adult is affected at some point in their life. Nevertheless, many patients avoid seeing a doctor out of embarrassment or uncertainty. In many cases, however, haemorrhoids can be treated early and without complications.
Dr Weiner takes sufficient time for you at the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160: with personal consultation, state-of-the-art diagnostics and compassionate care. On an outpatient basis at the practice or, if necessary, as an inpatient in hospital.
What Are Haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoids are vascular cushions at the junction between the rectum and the anus – everyone has them. Haemorrhoids only become problematic when they enlarge, protrude outwards or cause uncomfortable symptoms.
The most common symptoms include itching, burning or oozing around the anus, bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper, a persistent feeling of a foreign body, soiling, and pain when sitting or during bowel movements.
Haemorrhoids are classified into four grades:
- Grade I: Enlarged, but only visible inside the anal canal.
- Grade II: Protrude when straining but retract on their own.
- Grade III: Must be pushed back manually.
- Grade IV: Permanently prolapsed haemorrhoids – can no longer be pushed back.
When Should Haemorrhoids Be Treated or Operated On?
Early symptoms can be treated well conservatively – with ointments, suppositories and lifestyle changes. In more advanced stages or with chronic symptoms, however, targeted procedures become necessary.
Depending on the stage, the following forms of haemorrhoid treatment may be considered:
- Conservative therapy: e.g. with ointments, sitz baths, dietary changes
- Rubber band ligation: performed on an outpatient basis at the practice – effectively shrinks haemorrhoids by cutting off their blood supply
- Sclerotherapy: injecting a solution to shrink the blood vessels
- Haemorrhoid surgery: surgical removal for grade III–IV or chronic symptoms
Dr Weiner will discuss with you in detail which method is suitable for your haemorrhoid treatment in Vienna – gentle, individual and with the best possible long-term outcome.

Depending on the stage, various methods are available – from ointments and suppositories to minimally invasive procedures such as rubber band ligation or surgical intervention.
Can I have the treatment as an outpatient?
Many procedures, such as haemorrhoid treatment or the removal of small skin tags, can be carried out on an outpatient basis at my private practice. More complex procedures are carried out on an inpatient basis in hospital.

What treatments are available besides surgery?
Early stages can be treated with ointments, sitz baths, a fibre-rich diet and adequate fluid intake. In moderate stages, sclerotherapy or rubber band ligation can help.
What risks or long-term effects do untreated haemorrhoids have?
If left untreated, haemorrhoids can become chronic and lead to anaemia, inflammation or incontinence. Timely treatment protects your quality of life.
Is haemorrhoid surgery painful?
Modern methods such as rubber band ligation or minimally invasive surgical techniques ensure low-pain treatment – usually on an outpatient basis and with a quick recovery.
From what point should I see a doctor about haemorrhoids?
As soon as symptoms such as itching, blood in the stool or pain occur – the earlier it’s treated, the better. Even mild symptoms can indicate haemorrhoid disease.
