Stop Suffering From Hemmorhoid Pain
It doesn't really matter how you spell it, hemorrhoids hurt! Not really a subject most people feel comfortable discussing around the dinner table, many folks suffer quietly, not really knowing where to turn or using medications that may not work.
What are hemmorhoids? Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are a swelling or inflammation of some of the blood veins in the rectum and/or anus. .
Internal Hemmorhoids form inside the rectum. Due to the lack of pain receptors in that particular area, they usually will not cause pain. They may bleed when irritated. Internal hemorrhoids can lead to prolapsed or strangulated hemorrhoids if left untreated.
External hemorrhoids occur outside of the anal canal. They can be very painful, and can be accompanied by swelling and irritation. If the vein ruptures and a blood clot develops, the hemorrhoid becomes what is known as a thrombosed hemorrhoid.
Pregnancy, constipation, chronic diarrhea, and not enough fiber in your diet are all possible causes of hemmorhoids. It is believed that genetics may also contribute to hemmorhoid development. Hard stools, caused by a lack of hydration, can cause irritation to the hemmorhoids. This can also be caused by drinking too much of a diuretic liquid such as coffee or cokes. An excess of lactic acid in the stool, a product of excessive consumption of milk products such as cheese, can cause irritation and a reduction of consumption can bring relief.
A sedentary lifestyle or obesity are two additional factors that can cause hemmorhoids in those with a genetic predisposition.
There are two ways that hemmorhoids are typically treated: non-surgically and surgically.
Non surgical treatments for hemmorhoids tend to relieve the symptoms rather than the underlying cause.
They include:
Tub baths or Sitz baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes
Application of a hemorroidal cream
Suppositories placed in the rectum
The surgical options for removal of hemorrhoids include:
Rubber band ligation - A rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum. Cutting off blood circulation causes the hemmorhoid to wither away within days.
Sclerotherapy - the injection of a chemical solution around the blood vessel shrinks the hemorrhoid.
Infrared coagulation - Hemorrhoidal tissue is burned with a special device.
Hemorrhoidectomy -Â Occasionally, extensive or severe internal or external hemorrhoids may require removal by surgery known as hemorrhoidectomy.
Preventing the recurrence of hemorrhoids will require relieving the pressure and straining of constipation. Doctors will often recommend increasing fiber and fluids in the diet. Eating the right amount of fiber and drinking six to eight glasses of fluid (not alcohol) result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. To prevent the hemorrhoids from protruding you should try to eliminate straining.
