Get rid of hemorrhoids
Are hemorrhoids being a pain in the bum?
Seriously though, hemorrhoids are painful, annoying and very embarrassing.... I know from bitter experience. What exactly are hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids (or piles as they are also known) are a problem caused by veins around the anus becomming inflamed and swollen. Internal hemorrhoids describe inflamed veins inside the anus, external hemorrhoids describe inflamed veins that are just under the skin around the anus. An internal hemorrhoid may protrude through the anus, where it becomes painful and irritated. This is known as a protruding hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoids are not usually dangerous or life threatening....just extremely sore and painful!
How are they caused? Hemorrhoids can be caused in a number of different ways. Straining on the toilet, being pregnant, constipation and of course getting older make them all the more likely. Hemorrhoids are common in men and women. About half of the population has hemorrhoids by age 50. Pregnant women are also more likely to get hemorrhoids due to the increased volume of blood and the baby squashing veins in the abdomen. Hormonal changes also cause the blood vessels to get bigger. The veins are also placed under a huge strain during childbirth. For most women, however, hemorrhoids caused by pregnancy are a temporary problem, thank goodness, and usually disappear soon after the baby is born.
What are the symptoms? Many people have hemorrhoids, but not everyone has symptoms. The most prevalent symptom of internal hemorrhoids is bright red blood on the stool, on the toilet paper, or in the toilet itself. Symptoms of external hemorrhoids include painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus. This is due to blood clots forming. Excessive straining and cleaning around the anus may cause soreness with bleeding and itching, which produces a vicious cycle of symptoms.
