Hemorrhoids
are veins in the lower part of the anal canal that can become swollen, tender,
and painful. Stress, prolonged sitting,UGG Classic Cardy boot sale, and constipation can all lead to
hemorrhoids. There are various treatment options that you can take in the
privacy of your own home to relieve the pain of hemorrhoids.
What Are Hemorrhoids?
?
Hemorrhoids are painful, swollen veins in the lower part of
the anal canal. Veins can puff up inside the anal canal to form internal
hemorrhoids. Or they can swell near the opening of the anus to form hemorrhoids
externally. It is possible to have both types at the same time. The symptoms
and treatment depend on which type you experience.
?

What Do Hemorrhoids
Look Like? Can I see them?
?
Internal hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids occur at the opening of the rectum,
just inside the anus. You may see bright red streaks of blood on toilet paper
or bright red blood in the toilet bowl after having a bowel movement. You may
see blood on the surface of the excrement.
?
Internal hemorrhoids are small, swollen veins in the wall of
the anal canal. But they can be large, sagging veins that bulge out of the anus
continually. They can be quite painful if they bulge out,UGG Kensington sale, and are subsequently
squeezed by the anal muscles. If the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is cut off,
and your hemorrhoids bulge out, you also may see mucus on the toilet paper or
stool.
?
External hemorrhoids
External hemorrhoids can bleed, and then the blood pools,cheap UGG Bailey Button Triplet,
causing a hard painful lump. This is called a thrombosed, which means a
blood-filled and lumpy, hemorrhoid.
?
What Causes
Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids can be caused by extended sitting. For example,
many truck drivers deal with this condition. They may also be caused by straining
while making a bowel movement. Constipation often causes increased pressure on
the veins in the anal canal, resulting in the swelling and stretching of this
tissue, hence, hemorrhoids. It is quite usual for hemorrhoids to occur during
pregnancy and after childbirth. Everyday stress is also a significant
contributor to hemorrhoids. Stressed individuals may not pay proper attention
to? exercise, diet, hydration, or
simple relaxation methods integrated into one's lifestyle. Individuals who have
stress management problems often have digestion problems, and muscle tension,
which transfer directly and indirectly to hemorrhoids.
?
What Can I Do About
My Hemorrhoids?
There are quite a few treatments available, ranging from
over-the-counter corticosteroid creams, which can help with swelling and pain.
Hemorrhoid creams with lidocaine can help with pain. A simple cleansing
routine, such as using warm water and soap, followed by application of witch
hazel upon drying the area (applied with cotton swabs), can also soothe and
reduce itching. Other steps for anal itching include:
?
・?????
Wear cotton underwear. Make sure the area is
allowed plenty of air.・?????
Avoid toilet tissue with perfumes or dyes.・?????
Try not to scratch the area, or to aggressively
wipe or clean the area.
?
Sitz baths can help greatly. Simply purchase the container
to use for your hemorrhoids and sitz baths, found at your local drugstore,
which is a sort of plastic tub that fits perfectly over the seat of your
toilet. Fill this tub with warm water and another component as well, usually
salt or baking soda, and soak the anal area in it for about 15-20 minutes. It
works by cleaning the infected and swollen area, while at the same time
increasing the blood flow to the pelvic region. Sit in warm water for 10 to 15
minutes. Stool softeners help reduce straining and constipation.
?
Reduce Stress
This may seem like an unrelated measure, but reduced stress
will benefit most of all. Combine this with a diet high in fiber, fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of fluids. At least eight glasses of
water a day. This is the best type of prevention.
?
There are sometimes cases that don't respond to home
treatments. A surgeon or gastroenterologist can apply heat treatment, called
infrared coagulation, which basically shrinks internal hemorrhoids. Surgery may
be done to treat hemorrhoids, which includes rubber band ligation or surgical
hemorrhoidectomy. These procedures are for patients with severe pain or
bleeding who have tried every other alternative.
?
Hemorrhoids are not uncommon, and even simple to prevent,
when a healthy lifestyle is given priority.
?
Lastly, a day or two of bed rest may indeed be necessary to
take the pressure off of irritated and inflamed veins. Women who are 3-6 months
pregnant may want to sleep on their side, or experiment with using a pillow to
help reduce pressure on the hips (although avoid using a 'ring or doughnut'
cushion, as they will restrict blood flow). Try to avoid long periods of
sitting or standing when your hemorrhoids are most irritated. Slowly introduce
more fiber and exercise into your diet.
?
Hemorrhoids do not have to be a part of your pleasurable and
productive life!
