Hemorrhoids – A Description and How to Prevent and Heal Them
by Louis Cruz
Hemorrhoids are rectal veins that are prolapsed and inflamed. Hemorrhoids come from a group of veins known as the hemorrhoidal plexus in the rectum. That is why they are called hemorrhoids.There are two groups of veins: internal veins and external veins.
There are also two types of hemorrhoids and they are classified according to there location. When internal veins are the problem then they are called in medicine internal veins . If the external veins are affected then they are classified as external hemorrhoids.
The symptoms may be slightly different for the two types of hemorrhoids. Internal Hemorrhoids are mainly silent. They manifest themselves mainly as bleeding.
People with internal hemorrhoids will not usually manifest symptoms. But they may be startled when they see blood in the toilet after a bowel movement. Sometimes large amounts of bright red blood may be seen but sometimes just a streak of blood on the stool is seen.
Warning: This can also be a cancer sign, so please consult your medical doctor for a complete examination.
Signs and Symptoms present mostly in the external form of hemorrhoids are:
- Bleeding after bowel movement or noticed while wiping the anal area
- Pain and swelling to the point where it can make walking difficult
- Itching and irritation around the anal area
- Hemorrhoids protruding from your anus
- A Sensitive and painful lump near your anus
- Fecal Leakage
What Causes Hemorrhoids?
Life-style is usually a major cause of hemorrhoids. Some of these are:
1. Low amounts of fiber in the diet
2. Straining during a bowel movement
3. Obesity
4. Constipation
5. Lack of Exercise
But the thing is, you can prevent and improve hemorrhoids by modifying these life-style factors but many times you cannot correct them completely after they have developed. These measures are necessary to prevent hemorrhoids and improve them but will not cure them completely. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids you need to modify these factors but you also need extra help to get rid of hemorrhoids completely.
Treatments vary in conventional medicine and also in the alternative medical field. There is a large number of suppositories, ointments and creams made for the purpose of relieving hemorrhoids. But understand that these are only for relief of symptoms. They do not really cure hemorrhoids!
Surgery is one method that is used to correct hemorrhoids but two things may happen. One that is very litle known is that even after surgery these Hemorrhoids can COME BACK!! And number two is that unless you have a great insurance plan the procedure is very expensive.
