The problem of hemorrhoids is one of the common diseases that affects people between the age of twenty and fifty men or women alike. What is this disease? What are its causes? How can it be treated and prevented?
Hemorrhoids are bulges in the lower veins of the rectum and the anus, and these bulges are very painful. A person becomes ill due to an abnormal blood circulation in the anus. This leads to an increase in blood pressure in the region. This leads to venous prolapse and swelling that can not withstand the pressure. It is especially painful when sitting.
This condition may be due to excessive effort during bowel operation, continuous sitting on the toilet basin, chronic diarrhea or constipation, and sometimes excessive weight may cause it, as well as excessive pressure on the anus and rectum. Pregnancy is one of the causes of the disease, and anal sex as well. Aging may be a cause of the disease, as the veins’ tissues weaken and contract over time.
Hemorrhoids are two types: either internal hemorrhoids are present inside the anal canal and can not be seen directly, or be external causes itching and bleeding sometimes. In the case of internal hemorrhoids, the doctor needs to examine the patient using his hands, or using an analoscope and a rectoscope or a sinusoscope.
As for the symptoms of the disease, it is the sense of anal itching and pain in the anus when sitting especially, as the patient sees the emergence of red blood with his stool, and suffer from severe pain during defecation.
AED is better than quintals of treatment, so treatment of this disease depends more than prevention, and avoid the causes of the disease. Treatment of hemorrhoids is in two areas: a preventive field, and a field of medicine and surgical if needed. For the prevention and development of the disease, the patient should maintain cleanliness and extreme care in the anal area, and increase drinking water and away from caffeine as much as possible. To prevent the disease, you need to maintain a fiber-rich diet to avoid constipation “one of the causes of the disease.” You can also feel the itching of the disease using ice packs, and put them on the affected area. You also have to follow regular and regular exercise, avoid standing for long periods of time or even sitting for long periods. You should also be careful not to delay your going to the bathroom when you need it.
If the disease develops, medicines and surgical treatments are used. In this case, the patient is advised to use ointments, suppositories and laxatives to help reduce the size of the hemorrhoids, reduce their symptoms, and other methods recommended by the treating physician. The doctor may seek surgical treatment by injecting the area with hemorrhoids.
