What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids (also known as piles) are a very normal and common problem for most people at least a few times in life. They are annoying at the least and extremely painful at their worst.

There are many ways to know if you have hemorrhoids, what type, and how to treat them.

While if you have a bad case of hemorrhoids you will want to speak to your health care professional for advice, there are still many options you can do to prevent and treat your hemorrhoid issue at home that can spare you physical discomfort and emotional pain.

You can be quite embarrassed when you are trying to get through your day with hemorrhoids. There are many ways to recognize early if you are getting them and how to get hemorrhoid relief.

How to Know You Have Hemorrhoids

There are a few very telling signs that you may have hemorrhoids. Rectal itching and burning is one of them. The itching and burning is usually due the inflammation of the veins. As the veins dilate and get larger, the skin stretches and cracks.

This is further irritated by the presence of feces in the bowel. You may also notice blood when you have a bowel movement. This is due to the skin cracking and the veins leaking or tearing due to inflammation and pressure.

Another sign you may have hemorrhoids is that you feel a bulge outside either when using the bathroom or constantly. This is the inflamed tissue exiting as it has no other place to go. External hemorrhoids occur around the sphincter on the outside. These are very easy to see and feel. Internal hemorrhoids are deeper and on the inside of the bowel. Some internal piles can be felt on the outside if they are big enough.

What Causes Hemorrhoids?

There are many things that can cause hemorrhoids.

There are many times that people have no idea why they got them at all. There are actually many factors that can play a large role in how often and if you get hemorrhoid issues.

Age is one that is most common.

People who have never experienced hemorrhoids before have been known to get a crop up out of the clear blue when they got older.

You could be prone to weak rectal vein walls that would make you genetically more likely to have hemorrhoidal flair ups.

Constipation and diarrhea are both common causes of hemmoroid problems. Straining and frequent bathroom trips both can contribute to the inflammation of rectal veins. Other causes include obesity, pregnancy, and prolonged sitting and standing.

Types Of HemorrhoidTreatments

When it comes to treating hemorrhoids you will have several options. If you are experiencing bleeding of any kind you should see your doctor first to be sure to have an accurate diagnosis and plan. For other symptoms and discomforts you can use the over the counter and home remedies available for hemorrhoid relief.

Having hemorrhoids is not only uncomfortable it can be embarrassing as well. Depending on the severity it can be hard to walk, sit, or go to the bathroom.

If yours are severe you should talk to your doctor about surgical treatment to not have to deal with them all the time. You can try to use the many creams, gels, pads, and suppositories that are available to aid in inflammation, itching, burning, and pain relief. These in conjunction with sitz baths, not standing or sitting too long, and using an air doughnut to sit on can help alleviate the pain and discomfort and allow you to progress normally through your day.
