Treatment Of Hemorrhoid - Prevention Is Always Better Than A Cure!

By Ai Qin

Seventy five percent of the population suffer from hemorrhoids at some point in their adult lives and very often, they do not even know it! In spite of this, doctors have not really been able to put their finger on what exactly causes hemorrhoids.

Also commonly known as piles, hemorrhoids come about whenever the veins around the anus or lower rectum become swollen and inflamed. This brings about bleeding within the anus and it can also cause blood clots. This often occurs during pregnancy, constipation, straining to move stool, anal intercourse, or continuous diarrhea. Symptoms include bleeding from the anus, irritation and itching around the rectal region.

External hemorrhoids occur at the distal end of the anal canal. Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the anal canal and often go undetected. This is because there are no pain receptors in sitting in this region. If left untreated, these hemorrhoids either become strangulated or prolapsed hemorrhoid where the vein becomes distended and is pushed outside the anus.

By doing this, you improve vascular circulation in turn strengthening vein walls, making them less susceptible to rupture and inflammation.

Surgical procedures are many depending on the severity of pain and inflammation. Most procedures such as Doppler filigation, sclerotherapy and hemorrhoidectomy help remove the haemorrhoid by cutting off the blood supply to the inflamed vein, which eventually causes the Hemorrhoid to shrivel and fall off.

Although anyone could suffer from this condition, obesity, pregnancy, dehydration due to excess caffeine and alcohol consumption and lack of exercise increase chances of getting Hemorrhoids. You can easily avoid this by enriching your diet with vitamin supplements and herbs and fibre rich vegetables, improving posture while sitting for long periods, getting sufficient exercise and drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. By doing this, vascular circulation in your body improves and hence helps strengthen vein walls, reducing your chances of getting a Hemorrhoid.
