Internal hemorrhoids are inflamed blood vessels that occur in the walls of the anal canal. They can occur as small as a pea and can be as large as a ping-pong ball in the most severe cases.
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: Hard stools which hurt to pass can lead to internal hemorrhoids due to increased shearing force on the internal anal canal. To avoid hard stools try to eat high fiber foods such as cereals and vegetables.
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.
Weight-lifting: Internal and external hemorrhoids are a regular occurance amongst many body builders due to lifting heavy wieghts which puts a lot of pressure on veins inside (and around) the anal canal. Lower body exercises such as squats place the most pressure on the veins from which hemorrhoids are formed.
Prolonged Diarrhea: Diarrhea (when suffered for extended periods of time) can definitely agravate hemorrhoids and sometimes contribute to causing hemorrhoids. People who suffer from diarrhea should seek medical help if it sticks around for more than 48 hours.
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.
