Causes of Hemorrhoids

The susceptibility to the disease can be passed from generation to generation, but even in this case, the disease does not manifest itself without the influence of causative factors. Factors that cause hemorrhoids and contribute to its development include:

• Sedentary occupation;
• Obesity;
• Hereditary predisposition;
• A sedentary lifestyle (hypodynamics) or work related to inactivity;
• Activity associated with excessive muscle tension (major physical exertion);
• Stress;
• Frequent bowel dysfunction (constipation);
• Infection;
• Inflammatory and oncological processes in the intestine and liver;
• Malnutrition;
• Smoking.

Signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids

In most cases, the disease develops gradually. Initially, the patient feels a slight discomfort, heaviness, and itching around the back discharge hole, and sometimes pain and constipation may be noted. These feelings are exacerbated after eating spicy foods, drinking alcohol, and sometimes physical exertion.

The disease is accompanied by pain syndrome, hemorrhoidal bleeding, protrusion of hemorrhoidal nodules. Normally, bleeding occurs during or after the defecation process. The color of the blood will be reddish, but in some cases it may be dark and with clots. Frequent bleeding results in anemia.

In hemorrhoids, the nodules are inside the posterior outlet (internal - not visible to the patient) and external. In some cases, the patient may have both external and internal hemorrhoids at the same time.

The protrusion of hemorrhoidal nodules from the anal opening often develops gradually. Initially, it occurs only during defecation, but later during exertion, lifting weights, coughing, coughing. In the early stages, the nodes are easily repositioned, and then permanently located outside the anal canal. At any stage of hemorrhoids, necrosis and thrombosis of the nodes may develop, leading to aggravation of the clinical picture.

Stages of development

• In stage 1, hemorrhoids may be felt in the posterior outlet, they may bleed, and in most cases do not hurt.
• In stage 2, the nodes are observed to come out during urination, but return to their place after some time.
• In stage 3, the hemorrhoidal nodules fall off during any strenuous physical activity and the nodules no longer return to their original position, they are lowered into place using the hands.
• In stage 4, the hemorrhoids always protrude from the posterior exit hole and do not return to their place, often bleeding, thrombosis develops.

Diagnosis

Palpation (manual examination) is sufficient for a qualified physician to make a diagnosis, but in some cases a UT examination, anascopy, or rectoscopy may be ordered.

Hemorrhoids should not be confused with other dangerous diseases. Blood in the stool, for example, can be not only a symptom of hemorrhoids, but also a symptom of intestinal tumors (cancer), anal fissure, colitis, polyps, candidiasis. Only a doctor can diagnose hemorrhoids.

Treatment of hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are treated conservatively in the early stages (first and second): defecation (defecation) is regulated, the density of feces is ensured to be normal, diet is followed, more beets, carrots, figs, apricots, herbs , flax, wheat bran, agiolax, fayberlax, etc. are ordered. Patients should drink more fruit and vegetable juices, including fluids. Gymnastic exercises, baths, painkillers help in the early stages of hemorrhoids.

The basis of treatment of the disease are phlebotropic drugs. They increase the tone of local veins and normalize blood flow and circulation in the cavernous organs. The patient is prescribed drugs in the form of ointments, suppositories.

In the next stages, surgery is performed. At these stages, it is possible to get rid of hemorrhoids completely only after surgery. Although surgical intervention can cause panic in a person’s heart, it is an effective method and the chances of recurrence are minimal.

Treatment of hemorrhoids in folk medicine

Treatment of the disease in this way can be used as an adjunct, but they cannot replace basic treatment. Folk remedies can relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids, but the cause of the disease is not eliminated, and the active ingredients in them are much less than in pharmacological drugs. Yes, these tools can be useful in the very early stages, but after a while, the disease may recur.
