It is also commonly known as Piles in layman's language and is basically defined as a tissue with lot many blood vessels flowing across rectum and end of anus where they tend to merge.
The disease commonly arises when there is an enlargement or bursting of these blood vessels because of its obvious reasons and causes.
There are basically two types of Hemorrhoid, namely, Internal and External Hemorrhoid.
Internal Hemorrhoid is the one which occurs in rectum and is lesser painful because rectum doesn't have pain receptors.
It only results in bleeding when itched profusely.
Under severe conditions and lapse of treatment on time results in a condition called Pro-lapsed Hemorrhoids.
The Hemorrhoid is so much of under pressure that it results in being pushed out of the anus.
The degree of prolapses is basically segregated into four distinct types; from grade one to four depending in severity of prolapse.
The second type of Hemorrhoid is External which occurs outside the anal verge and is caused when bursting of veins take place resulting in itching, swelling and sometimes resulting in bleeding.
It is of more painful nature of the two.
External hemorrhoids are prone to Thrombosis, if the vein ruptures and a blood clot develops, the hemorrhoid becomes a thrombosed hemorrhoid.
There are primarily two reasons for external type of Hemorrhoid .
The one which we do not have a control on is genetic predisposition to weak rectal vein walls and second one is due to human dietary habits.
Dietary habits i.
e.
either eating of food which is difficult to digest and to be ejected out resulting in constipation.
This results in excessive pressure on the veins and thereby bursting of it leading to bleeding.
Even insufficient liquid or water too results in hard stool or constipation.
Excessive consumption of dairy products may too result in it.
It is too found that excess consumption of liquor may also result in it.
Treatment of external type of Hemorrhoid depends on severity and one's willingness to surgery or temporary medicinal remedy for pain relief.
Treatment for initial phases is very simple and can be done in simple ways.
First of all the hygienic condition should be maintained at all times during the day or night.
The anal region should be kept clean to avoid any bacterial infection.
People should include more of fibers in their diet found from whole grains, fruits and vegetables etc.
fibers and roughage smoothen the flow of stool thus reducing the irritation to the hemorrhoids caused by hard stool.
One should try to reduce eating junk and spicy food, excessive alcohol or smoking which is the main causes of hard stool.
Alcohol consumption and smoking have always been the culprits for increasing a patient's blood pressure.
High blood pressure beyond a certain limit causes the external hemorrhoid to irritate more.
One can use sitz bath, ice pack, creams and ointments as recommended by the doctor to get relief from hemorrhoids.
However, in extreme cases doctors recommend getting them operated which could be painful.
