In Short - What are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids (or piles are they are more commonly
known) are simply the veins in your anus which
have become distended (swollen with
blood). This is very similar to varicose veins,
where the vein becomes large and lumpy, only
these veins are around the anus which makes it a
bit more embarrassing. The vein swelling can
affect the part of the anal canal just above the
sphincter where it is less well supported and
protected causing Internal Hemorrhoids. Or it
can affect the veins at the lower end of the
canal causing External Hemorrhoids. Either of
these types can exhibit the same kinds of
symptoms and are generally quite uncomfortable in
most cases. Hemorrhoids affect approximately
50 of the population and appear to be
distributed evenly across both male and females
although anecdotally, it appears that pregnant
women are quite susceptible to this condition.
In Short - What are the symptoms of Hemorrhoids?
There are a number of symptoms of Hemorrhoids
which as is usual with most medical symptoms
could be any one of a number of medical
conditions. The best advice anyone could receive
if theyre not sure, is to see a doctor as soon
as possible. Some of the other conditions which
have similar symptoms to Hemorrhoids range from
things like threadworm and colon cancer. It is
always best to go to your doctor and find out
that you have nothing to worry about than to not
go and only find out when the condition has
become a lot worse than it could have been.

The main symptoms of Hemorrhoids are that passing
bowel movements are painful. As well your anus
will itch and you will discover that there are
one or more painful or tender fleshy lumps in
the same area as well as a feeling that your
bowels are never empty. Normally these symptoms
are at worst uncomfortable and dont stop you
from conduction your day to day
business. However, in a few rare situations,
they can be very painful if they are associated
with a splitting of the anus (known as an anal
fissure).
In Short - What is the Treatment for Hemorrhoids?
Thankfully and in most instances, Hemorrhoids can
be treated successfully without any professional
medical intervention. Typical of the products
available over the counter is Doctor Butler's
Hemorrhoid Fissure Ointment. Undoubtedly
popular it's also available online and you would
have to read some of the hundreds of buyer
reviews for this ointment to gauge whether or
not it might work for you. However, having said
that though and as I mentioned earlier, it is
always best to consult a doctor if youre unsure
or the condition lasts for more than a couple of
weeks. Some examples of the treatment for
hemorrhoids are to eat a lot of foods rich in
fibre. This can help to prevent constipation
which can aggravate the condition. Closely
related to constipation, is to avoid straining
and to use soft toilet tissue. Then wash the
area with warm water. From all pharmacies, you
should be able to buy some creams over the
counter called Corticosteroids which contain a
local anaesthetic and will soothe the pain and
discomfort. They are not

recommended for long term use though. There are
three other treatments which all require you to
visit a medical practitioner. The first is
where a chemical is injected into the hemorrhoid
which causes them to shrivel up. The second
way, is called Banding. Where a rubber band is
placed around the base of the hemorrhoid. The
Hemorrhoid then shrinks and eventually falls
off. The final option is surgery called
hemorrhoidectomy which is only conducted very
rarely as less traumatic methods named above are
used. This option would normally be used on
internal hemorrhoids which are very large.

Conclusion
I hope that this short article has helped you to
better understand the causes, effects and
recommended treatments for your
hemorrhoids. Also, you should share this article
with your wife or husband and include them in
your discussions with your doctor wherever
possible, so that they know how best to assist
you through this time and also the best methods
for them to avoid getting hemorrhoids
themselves. Hemorrhoids are not a good subject
for jokes but they are also not something which
anyone should be embarrassed about having since
almost everyone to a greater or lesser extent -
can and will experience them at some point in
time. Persist, persevere, endure and you will
get through it and over it.
