Treatment For Hemroid Symptoms

Posted: Jul 10, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

It is a fact, hemroids hurt! People are embarrased to talk about their problem with hemorrhoids, so many times they suffer in silence.

So what exactly are hemroids? “Hemroids” is a common misspelling of the term “hemorrhoids” There are two common causes of hemroids. Weakness of the blood veins in the rectum leading to their enlargement and increased pressure inside the veins. They are much like varicose veins you might see on a person's legs.

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, however, bleed when irritated. Untreated, internal hemorrhoids can lead to prolapsed and/or strangulated hemorrhoids.

External hemorrhoids occur outside of the anal canal. the swelling and irritation can be very painful. If the vein ruptures and a blood clot develops, the hemorrhoid becomes what is known as a thrombosed hemorrhoid.

The causes of hemorrhoids may include constipation, chronic diarrhea, pregnancy, postponing bowel movements, and fiber-deprived diet. 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. Drinking too much of diuretic liquids such as coffee or cokes can cause this. Excessive lactic acid in the stool, a product of excessive consumption of milk products such as cheese, may cause irritation and a reduction of consumption can bring relief.

Obesity and lack of exercise may also contribute as causes for hemorrhoids.

In most cases hemmorhoids should be treated non-surgically but in extreme cases surgical procedures may be neccessary.

The non surgical options for treatment of hemorrhoids are designed to relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids.

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 - A chemical solution injected around the blood vessel shrinks the hemorrhoid.

When hemorrhoidal tissue is removed or burned with a medical device it is called Infrared Coagulation.

Hemorrhoidectomy - In rare cases, severe internal or external hemorrhoids may be removed by surgery known as hemorrhoidectomy.

To prevent the recurrence of hemorhhoids you must relieve the pressure and straining caused by constipation. Doctors often recommend a high fiber diet and increased consumption of non alcoholic fluids. Drinking six to eight glasses of water and eating the right amount of fiber results in a softer, bulkier stool. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. Eliminate straining to eliminate the hemmorhoids from protruding.
