One of the most common medical episodes that anyone would hide out of embarrassment is hemorrhoids. Only when the situation becomes uncontrollable does one go out of the way to seek medical advice. Most people get really desperate when hemorrhoids that were supposedly dormant years ago suddenly emerge unannounced. This would then disrupt their daily schedules.
Hemorrhoids are clumps of tissues in the anal area that are full of blood vessels with the surrounding consisting of muscles and elastic fibres. Let me get this straight. Everyone of us has hemorrhoids and let us not think otherwise. It is only when the hemorrhoidal cushions become enlarge that this becomes a problem. However, the prevalence of hemorrhoids in the population only come to about 5%. Hemorrhoidal blood vessels have a readily available arterial blood supply. That is why the hemorrhoid blood is bright red.
There are two types of hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are embedded inside the anal wall while the external hemorrhoids protrudes outside the anus. There are reasons why hemorrhoids enlarge. Hemorrhoids may arise as a result from straining during a bowel movement.This can also be due to increase pressure on the blood vessels during pregnancy.
As far as treatment is concerned, there are many so called experts, be they in the medical fraternity or in the alternative field, claiming superiority in their methods of hemorrhoid treatment but sad to say, till today we are still seeing many cases of unsolved hemorrhoids problems. The fact remains that hemorrhoids arise due to the straining that follows chronic constipation.
So the following steps can help to treat and eliminate hemorrhoids. These include:
1. Be selective in the consumption of food
Ensure that your food intake consists of high fibre diet. The fibre will increase the bulk of the stool and thus allows for eventual release. Also drinking water with a high fibre meal will result in softer and bulkier stools.
2. Make sure that you undertake plenty of exercise. This will assist in the overall body activity.
3. Make use of stool softeners and fibre supplements to lessen the pressure.
4. Take Vitamin C 1000mg daily.
