Hemorrhoids comes in many forms, and symptoms are frequently 'either/or' and not so much 'also'. This means that while one person is merely sore, another is suffering bloodloss. It's important to know that even minor symptoms, such as a little soreness, should be followed up instantly to prevent the condition from deteriorating. However, many sufferers will wait until they are displaying a serious symptom such as bloodloss and at that point take action. This piece will detail the symptom that is bleeding hemroids. (This is a common spelling but it should really be spelt 'Bleeding Hemorrhoids').
Bloodloss is started by internal and external hemorrhoids alike. But what really starts this difficult condition?
Below here I have made a list of each stage to bloodloss:
Different Levels of Hemorrhoids/ More Explanation
1. Hemorrhoids propagate to life gererally as a result of your lifestyle - your food choices, your daily activities and your general health. All of these factors culminate in the tension that is placed on your varicose veins - examples could be recently giving birth, your diet, your weight and whether your suffer from bowel problems (constipation).
2. Everything I have just listed grows and grows until your varicose veins cannot handle the stress. Now you have either internal and external hemorrhoids, and depending on how much strain was there, you'll have a mild or severe case of piles.
3.With unrelenting pressure the vein expands so much that after forming into a hemorrhoid, it can't do anything but effectively 'explode,' thereby starting to bleed and become sore.
Most often, piles can be cured far before the point of bleeding. However, what can you do if you realise you have hemorrhoids after you begin bleeding?
If this closely resembles your experience, relax, it's quite common. Early development of hemorrhoids can be misidentified as other less important irritations. Most sufferers wouldn't think it neccessary to 'waste' their doctor's time with an itchy bottom. It's not until you push your body to the limits and begin to feel pain that they rear their wretched heads.
Also, if you're a person who was simply too overwhelmed by the prospect of having some 'big problem' I want to assure you that we've all been in that position. You're doing the correct thing now by reading articles about the issue.
Healthy And Organic Approaches For Hemorrhoids That Have Bleeding As A Symptom
Choices For Treatments/ Further Research
Comfrey - This herb heals minor wounds and encourages new development of cells.
Mango Seed (Dehydrated) - Not only is this good for you but it tastes delicious with honey. 1/2 gram is the normal amount to have at once.
Apple Cider Vinegar - Consume apple cider vinegar with every meal.
Douse a Cotton Ball In Vinegar - This is a great approach to minimising pain and soreness.
Aloe Vera - A time-tested solution to lessening inflammation.
Witch Hazel - This is another option you have when it comes to soreness.
Dry Figs - Soaking dry figs in water over night and eaten on an empty stomach in the start of your day is a good home remedy.
Herbal Sitz Baths - These are at the head of effective natural treatments for piles. Taking a herbal sitz bath 3 times a day for 15 minutes at a time can make you forget you even have piles! Highly recommended.
Kegel Exercises - While the muscles in your pelvic are strong over the period of a lifetime they do get knocked around a bit. Kegel exercises are encouraged among older women as they aid continence. These exercises, however, are great for both women and men when it comes to strengthening the body against hemorrhoids.
I just want to make one last mention. Ensure you are consuming plenty of fiber each and everyday - it is so critical.
Other Approaches/ Notes
The operation Approach -
There are many ways to heal piles, surgery is the last of many options, and should only be chosen upon input from your doctor. I won't discuss surgery in this article because it would be too long. There are, however, many articles online specifically about the topic of hemorrhoidal operations.
Creams/Ointments –
These are often the first choice for people when they come down with hemorrhoids. Namely, becuase they are available over-the-counter and many don't require a prescription from your physician. Once again, this topic is fairly large but you can find other articles online easily enough if you wish to study further.
Why Am I Losing blood?
Habitual Constipation -
Unluckily, constipation is both a symptom and a reason for having hemorrhoids in the first place. When it lasts for a long time its effects can be linked to that of pregnancy. It basically means you have been straining too much.
Giving Birth -
So like I shared with you, strain is the culprit of piles, Women have evolved to take a high level of strain, but the style of every pregnancy, of course, is different.
Pregnancy is a prime example of when we are put under a natural examination of our true strength. Often times, we simply don't have the strength to stay in control.
Lack of Physical exercise –
I suspect that this is the main reason for people coming down with hemorrhoids. And I'm not talking about missing your bank holiday bike ride down the trail. Physical exercise, whether you like it or not, is a lifestyle. Maybe it's designed on your work schedule, or perhaps it's an avocation for you - a run alongside the sea-front for example. In the end what matters is that you enjoy the exercise. This way it is great for your head AND your heart.
Bad Circulation -
Bad circulation has more than one negative consequence. It causes pain in your fingers and toes, it slows down your reflexes, and your muscles deteriorate over time.
With the title of this article I will predictably add that poor circulation can lead to hemorrhoids. Fortunately, circulation can be managed quite easily with modern drugs, see your doctor and you will be prescribed the right solution for you.
Bonus Suggestions:
* Water is truly the elixir of life - drink it, then drink it some more
* Wear Loose clothes
* Ensure you are up and walking atleast once an hour; particularly when using the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet for long periods of time places a lot of pressure on the rectal veins – which leads to piles!
Scenarios That Promote Rectal Bleeding:
Problems/ Explanation
Veins (varicose) - Strained varicose veins grow into hemorrhoids.
Bowel Disease (Inflammatory) -
-- Diverticulitis, this is when small pockets are formed in the intestines.
-- Colitis, colitus is redness of the large intestine. In severe case ulcers can form, resulting in knifelike pain.
Celiac Disease -
Celiac/ coeliac disease finds the small intestines unable to perform and unable to extract nutrients from food.
Fistulas -
A fistula is an abnormal relationship between two cell-lined vessels or organs that don't normally have a connection. The best solution to these is to change your diet but see your doctor first is there are any issues.
Fissures -
These are deep furrows within the mucous membrane of the innermost intestinal lining.
Polyps -
Polyps are very serious because they can turn cancerous. If you feel an unusual lump, contact your doctor immediately.
Prolapses -
External hemorrhoids and prolapses are one and the same. Once the hemorrhoids becomes visable to the human eye it has lost its natural 'pull'
These subjects are beyond this articles focus but I emphatically recommend you to do some more research into these.
But, on the subject of piles, varicose veins and prolapses are the main offenders.
The best course of action for bleeding of an unknown kind is to see your doctor first and foremost.
