- Hemorrhoids: The Cause And The Treatment
- By: LEESA COOK
This is a COMMON problem for over 40% of the population. There is no need for embarrassment or shame. There are treatments that range from ointments and suppositories and as drastic as surgery.First, many people may wonder WHAT hemorrhoids are:
Hemorrhoids are enlarged and inflamed veins in the lower rectum and anus, which sometimes occur outside the anus and can be seen (external type); at other times they occur inside the rectum and cannot be seen (internal type).
WHAT CAUSES THEM? There are many contributing factors related to hemorrhoids: straining to have a bowel movement; passing hard, dry stools (constipation); sitting for long periods of time; having frequent diarrhea stools, and pregnancy (the pressure it puts on the bowel). Others include diet, overuse of laxatives, inflammation or infection of the rectal area, heredity and other conditions of the rectum. Hemorrhoids are a very common problem. It is not known exactly how many people have them, because often they do not cause symptoms. We do know that people between the ages of 20 and 50 experience the largest number of symptoms from hemorrhoids.Pregnacy is also a large contributing factor.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SYMPTOMS? Pain, itching, and bleeding are common symptoms. Hemorrhoids inside the rectal opening are usually painless, but often bleed and cause a feeling of fullness. This may result in an urge to have a bowel movement even when there is no stool present. Straining to have a bowel movement can aggravate the problem. Bleeding from internal hemorrhoids usually occurs at the end of the bowel movement. You may notice that the stool is streaked with blood, blood may drip into the toilet bowl, or it will appear on the toilet paper when you wipe. Rectal bleeding can be a signal of a more severe problem and should be evaluated. Other symptoms include increased moisture or itching around the rectum, or finding a small bulge that is very tender to the touch outside the rectum.
As stated earlier, there are many types of treatments available to cure hemorrhoids. As with less complicated health issues it is a good choice to try all natural products and treatments.Products such as ointments,suppositories, and creams are only a temporary quick fix. What about an all natural way to treat hemorrhoids permanently?
