Hemeroids Are You At Risk?

by Jo Allison on 06/03/2010

Hemeroids are an embarrassing problem causing itching, soreness and sometimes anal bleeding. Piles as they are also called, are enlarged and swollen veins in the lower intestines. For  full treatment read this and to get instant relief I’ve found this helps.

People most prone to hemeroids:

  • Pregnant women- studies show that hormonal changes and increasing pressure on the bowels as a result of the developing baby cause pregnancy piles . The strain of giving birth may also make hemeroids worse. Read this article.
  • People with Constipation- this is a well know factor which increases pressure on the intestinal veins due to straining while trying to expel hard stools. This article will help you
  • People who are over weight – excess weight can also put additional pressure on the lower intestines plus a poor diet will lead to constipation. Perhaps this article will help you
  • If your job requres sitting or standing for prolonged reriods. A cushion like this may help to relieve discomfort.

Fortunately hemeroids are easily treated and immediate relief is available. It’s not life threatening but struggling with hemeroids is no fun and needs to be treated. As other medical problems it’s easier to treat them early rather than leaving them to get worse.

 

Piles are commonly treated in the comfort of one’s home. A large range of products are readily available over the net. Even though remedies are easy to apply, for a lasting cure some life style change maybe necessary. A fiber rich diet plus plenty of fresh water will prevent constipation which is a leading factor. Mild exercise will also aid digestion and circulation in the lower intestines.

Although hemeroids / hemroids can’t be considered as life threatening, it is still essential to get rid of them to relieve the discomfort and misery. Fortunately there are many safe and simple home remedies available some of which you may already.  Simple Do’s and Dont’s for Hemeroids offers immediate practical advice.

Witch Hazel is good

Cool it in the fridge first and then gently apply it to your hemeroids, using some cotton wool pads. This works for external hemeroids / hemroids and should be applied 3 to 4 times a day. Ice packs or ice cubes can also be used directly on the affected area and will help reduce swelling. After which gently apply some aloe vera ointment or cream this will relieve itching and soreness.

Changing your diet may help considerably.

Eat plenty of fibre rich products like fruits, vegetables and full corn products. Drink plenty of water too this together with a fibre rich diet will create softer stools which are more easily expelled for a more comfortable bowel movement. Softer stool also help prevent getting new hemeroids / hemroids. However don’t over do it and avoid taking laxatives. Citrus foods like oranges and grapefruit are particularly high in bioflavonoids, which can help to strengthen blood vessels and may prevent hemeroids / hemroids from returning.

Avoid

Eating a lot of cheese which contains lactic acid and can worsen your condition. Reduce or preferably stop altogether drinking alcohol and caffeine products.

Regular exercise

will also do wonders for the circulation and combined with a few simple diet changes will help prevent hemeroids. However any training which causes excessive abdominal straining such as lifting weights may cause hemeroids / hemroids to start bleeding. Bicycling can also be uncomfortable and cause pain if using a hard racing saddle.

A warm bath

can also relieve itching and soreness try applying a product like Venapro afterwards. This acts as a mild anaesthetic and alleviates discomfort. If you need to sit for long periods I would definitely recommend one of the specially designed foam rings which prevent additional pressure on the affected area and will allow you to rest comfortably.

Hemeroids with blood clots in them are known as thrombosed. They are often seen as a dark red or purple lump sticking out of the anus and can feel firm when touched although they can also be soft like small pockets of floppy skin. Simple Do’s and Dont’s for Hemeroids offers immediate practical advice.

 

Piles and hemeroids / hemroids are common in the west with something like 65% adults in the States experiencing them at some time or other. Women are particularly susceptible in pregnancy due to the unborn baby creating extra pressure on the intestines. But they normally disappear after giving birth. Experts say it is more likely that men will need to see a doctor for treatment. This I suspect might be because men tend to ignore the first signals wait before starting a home cure.

A Thrombosed Hemeroid / Hemroid

Although a thrombosed hemeroid / hemroid is sore, itchy and can cause excruciating pain they rarely need surgery and can normally be treated with a home cure. Taking a warm bath, applying an anaesthetising ointment, making changes to diet and following some guidelines.

Changes in eating habits often bring immediate relief to hemeroid / hemroid sufferers and can eventually lead to a lasting cure. It is well documented that in areas where a fibre rich diet is common there are few cases of piles. The sort of natural fibre found in fruits, vegetables and whole grain products together with an ample supply of water keeps stools soft and easily passed. It is well known that constipation is a huge contributing factor in getting hemeroids / hemroids as the excessive straining causes the anal veins to extend and rupture. Venapro will help relieve the itching and tenderness.

using Lasers or Infra-red light

A more modern way of treating and removing piles is using lasers or infra-red light sources which burn the thrombosed tissue. Occasionally hemeroids / hemroids are removed by surgery under local anaesthetic if severe. But even this rarely warrants spending the night in hospital and the discomfort soon passes with most patients being able to return to work after 7 days. The upside is that hemeroids / hemroids once surgically removed rarely return.

Hemeroids – what are the symptoms?

by Jo Allison on 29/11/2009

Hemeroids, hemorrhoids, hemroids or piles (there are many different ways to spell it) occur when the veins in the lower intestines become swollen and ruptured. They can be either internal (when inside the bowels) or external when the enlarged vein protrudes outside the rectum.

Internal hemeroids

Internal hemeroids are rarely sore although they can bleed if ruptured when passing hard stools. Whereas external piles are the ones that commonly cause itching, pain and discomfort. An enlarged vein (hemeroid / hemroid) just within the anus can be pushed out and get squeezed by the anal ring muscle and this causes excruciating pain and is aggravated when expelling hard feces.

External hemeroids

External hemeroids / hemroids are clearly seen as purplish protrusions from the anus and can be felt as tender swellings at the anal opening. These are often caused by excessive straining again when expelling hard stools the primary cause of which is constipation. The purplish protrusions are known as a thrombosed hemeroid / hemroids and itch, are sore and can be ruptured and bleed. If you notice bright red, fresh blood on the toilet paper when wiping this is often a sign of an external hemeroid / hemroid.
