Internal hemorrhoids are inflamed veins on the inside of the anal passage. Some internal hemorrhoids can be as small as a pea while others can be as big as a golf ball.
Internal hemorrhoids sometimes result in debilitating pain, most notably while passing stools or sitting down. They are most commonly identified by seeing bright red blood in or on the stool or toilet paper.
Doctors still dont know for sure what causes internal hemorrhoids, but they have identified a few common factors which often lead to hemorrhoids, some of which are explained below.
Constipation:Those who are affected by constipation for long amounts of time are highly exposed to hemorrhoids. Straining excessively during bowel movement (as caused by constipation) often causes ruptures in blood vessels which lead to hemorrhoids.
Hard Stools: Irritation and pressure caused by passing hard stools during bowel movement can result in internal hemorrhoids. One good way to avoid hard stools is to eat foods which are high in fiber (such as fruits, veges, cereals etc).
Pregnancy: Internal hemorrhoids affect up to approximately 40% of pregnant women at some stage during or after the pregnancy. This is due to an increase in blood flow and blood pressure while caring the baby in the womb. Internal hemorrhoids can also occur due to the straining during childbirth.
Lifting heavy objects: People (such as those who workout in gyms) are more likely to suffer from hemorrhoids as they are placing high pressure on their veins each time they lift heavy weights or objects. Squats and Leg Presses are probably the most risky exercises to perform due to the close proximity of the muscle group being worked to the veins in the anal canal.
Diarrhea: Prolonged periods of diarrhea are often related to the occurance of internal hemorrhoids. If you suffer from diarrhea for an extended peroid of time you should see your doctor or try the treatment methods mentioned below.
A number of different techniques exist for treating internal hemorrhoids. Choosing the appropriate one for you may depend on things such as cost, recovery time, and the severity of your hemorrhoids.
One hemorrhoids cure is surgical removal of the hemorrhoids. This is an expensive option (some procedures start at US$1200) and the recovery time needed after surgery is usually much more than other techniques. Surgical removal of hemorrhoids doesnt guarantee long term safety from hemorrhoids. They may return to haunt you at a later date. Surgical removal of hemorrhoids should be kept as a last resort.
Topical creams have become popular and have proven efffective for some people. Others suffer numerous side effects when using creams to cure internal hemorrhoids. One of the most common side effects is a burning sensation after the cream has been applied for some time. This can indeed become significantly painful for some people. Creams work at healing the symptoms of hemorrhoids as opposed to the core problems. Some creams may just delay the problem as opposed to curing hemorrhoids completely.
