Causes of Hemorrhoids The main cause of hemroids is the application of too much pressure on the veins of pelvic and rectal region. In the normal situation, the tissue present in the anus fills with blood to effectively assist in the control of bowel movement. In case the individual strains to pass stool then the increased pressure will greatly cause veins in the tissue to swell and stretch and thus eventually leads to hemorrhoids. Whether it is constipation or diarrhea, it is bound to lead to strain that will eventually cause an increased pressure on the veins present in the anal canal. The chances of pregnant women getting hemorrhoids are quite high especially during the last 6 months of the pregnancy. This is mainly due to the increase of pressure on the blood vessels in pelvic region. And the strain that is given to push the baby out during the labor will invariably worsen the hemorrhoids. And last but not least one of the highest cause of hemorrhoids is gaining weight. Symptoms of Hemroids The most common symptom related to both internal as well as the external hemorrhoids is the bleeding that takes place during a bowel movement. The individual may also see the streak of blood after he or she strains to have a bowel movement. Moreover, there are symptoms of itching and rectal pain mainly while cleaning the anal area after relieving oneself. However, the different symptoms that are related to both external and internal hemorrhoids are as follows. For internal hemorrhoids a bright red streak of blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl after a normal bowel movement is the direct symptom of internal hemroids. Internal hemorrhoids are small, swollen veins found inside the anal canal wall. But they can often become larger and become sagging veins bulging out of the anus. They are painful most painful when the hemorrhoid is squeezed by anal muscles. They also become more painful if blood flow to the hemroids is cut off. If hemorrhoids bulge out of the anus then there is usually a visible sign of mucus on toilet paper or stool. On the other hand external hemorrhoids or external hemroids can bleed from the outer anal region. There are blood pools that are formed within the viens that cause a hard painful lump that can be seen around the opening of the anus. This type of hemorrhoid is called a thrombosed hemorrhoid or a clotted hemroids. Diagnosis of Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoids are diagnosed primarily by doctors after asking the patient his past health history and conducting a complete physical examination. If the individual is less than 50 years then the doctor will essentially check if the rectal bleeding is caused by hemroids. The doctor will examine patients’ rectum with a gloved finger or may use a short, lighted telescope to look inside the rectum and check for internal hemorrhoids. Effective Home Hemorrhoids Treatment Most people can easily treat or prevent hemorrhoids with the use of an over the counter hemorrhoids treatment. There are several on the market that are strong and proven to eliminate hemorrhoids, such as HemClear. You can research online to find more information. To help with hemorrhoids prevention it is recommended to establish few good health habits. Fist of all it is important to keep the area clean. You can do this by blotting the anus with white toilet paper that is basically moistened with water or use baby wipes or tucks which are the pre-moistened towels. Soaps containing perfume or dye should not be used as a hemorrhoids treatment. If the hemroids are painful, then you can take an aspirin or ibuprofen to relieve pain and the swelling. In addition iced can be applied for 10 minutes followed by warm compressing for 10 minutes. You can even take bed rest to reduce the pressure on inflamed veins and stay away from straining the area too much. Moreover, sitting or standing for long time is to be avoided. Lifting heavy objects should also be avoided. You should wear cotton underwear’s and loose clothing to reduce the pressure on anal area. Surgical and Fixative Hemorrhoids Treatment Hemorrhoids treatment can be simply carried out by the change of diet as well as bowel habits. Most cases of hemroids do not need surgery or other types of severe hemorrhoids treatment unless the hemroids are too large and painful to endure. One form of hemorrhoids treatment is known as a fixative procedure. In a fixative procedure of hemorrhoids treatment the supply of blood flow is invariably reduced to the hemorrhoids, so that they shrink and eventually go away. The scar tissue which is left in place will however help to support the anal tissue and eliminate the further development of the hemorrhoids. Fixative procedure can be an effective process for hemorrhoids treatment and is normally carried out in several ways. Either hemroids are simply tied with rubber band ligation or hemorrhoids are treated with therapy of coagula |
