| Before you choose a
particular product or treatment, it makes sense to learn
a little about the problem- hemorrhoids. We'll
briefly cover what hemorrhoids are, what causes them,
and how to treat them. What
exactly are hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are the network of
veins around the anus area. The condition know as
hemorrhoids occurs when these veins enlarge and distend
usually caused by straining or pressure.
The two types of hemorrhoids are internal and
external. Internal hemorrhoids usually do not
cause much pain and rarely itch. External
hemorrhoids are the type that tends to cause burning,
itching, and/or pain.
What are the symptoms of
hemorrhoids?
There are several symptoms that usually indicate some
type of hemorrhoid condition. These include blood
in the stool, in the toilet, or on bath tissue after
using the bathroom, or a vague pain in the anus after
defecating. Also, itching, burning, or pain in the
region may indicate a case of hemorrhoids.
What causes hemorrhoids?
Research has shown a number of factors can lead to
varying forms of hemorrhoids. These include:
 | constant sitting |
| constipation |
| diarrhea |
| obesity |
| childbirth |
| heavy lifting |
| severe coughing |
| straining with bowel movements |
| hereditary |
Basically, any increase in the pressure in the veins
around that area can lead to hemorrhoids.
Diagnosis
Most cases of hemorrhoids can be diagnosed and
treated by the individual experiencing the discomfort.
The exception to this is if there is bleeding from the
anus, which may indicate a larger, more serious problem.
If this is the case, a doctor will observe the area
using one or more medical devices. These can
include a anoscope, proctoscope, and/ or performing a
sigmoidoscopy.
Prognosis
The prognosis for most cases of hemorrhoids is very
good. Most cases are eliminated within 1-2 weeks.
There are a number of over-the-counter medications that
can reduce the symptoms of hemorrhoids. A change
in diet and lifestyle will also often lead to a
reduction in hemorrhoid symptoms.
