Easing Hemorrhoids Symptoms

By: Tim Hantsville

Hemorrhoids are a very common problem that affects almost half of men and women by the time they reach age 50, although not many people are willing to talk about them. Hemorrhoids can be a minor inconvenience and a major source of pain and discomfort. While most cases of hemorrhoids will go away within a few days there are some cases that are more serious and should be treated as soon as possible.

Hemorrhoids can be caused by several different factors. If you sit at a desk all day long, you are at risk. Staying in one position, especially a sitting position for an extended period of time, puts pressure on rectal muscles. One of the best things you can do is to get up at least once every hour - make sure that you change positions in your chair.

It's very common for pregnant women to get hemorrhoids during their pregnancy. Of course this condition, while uncomfortable, is usually temporary and the hemorrhoids go away after the pregnancy. There are some additional causes of hemorrhoids, such as chronic constipation, diarrhea, severe coughing, or even heavy lifting. Obviously, some of the situations can't be avoided for your entire life which is why so many people end up with hemorrhoids.

People are generally embarrassed and feel awkward in talking about hemorrhoids if they have them. In many cases they continue to suffer rather than going to the Doctor and getting treated. However, hemorrhoids should not be taken lightly for they have the danger of turning into thrombosed hemorrhoids which is even more painful. Generally there are two types of hemorrhoids external and internal. External hemorrhoids have a burning sensation, are itchy and very painful.

Internal hemorrhoids are not painful or itchy, you may not even be aware that you have them initially. Because they are located inside the rectum, you can't feel them, but you may see is blood in the stool or in the toilet bowl. Internal hemorrhoids can share some of the same symptoms as colorectal cancer. If you think you may have internal hemorrhoids consult with your doctor immediately.

It's fairly easy to treat hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids can simply be treated by using a topical creams or ointments. The cream helps to shrink the hemorrhoids as and can be beneficial in relieving pain, burning, and itching. A warm bath is also therapeutic. However, it isn't enough to merely treat the hemorrhoids. If you don't address the problem that caused them in the first place you'll end up with more.

It should be fairly easy to determine why you have hemorrhoids, but it could be a combination of things. For example, if you don't get enough fiber in your daily diet as well as work at a desk job, you will need to address both factors. Talk to your doctor about ways to get more fiber into your diet since this should be a fairly easy task.

Most people don't like to talk about hemorrhoids, but now that you know how easy and common it is to get them, discussing the situation with your doctor shouldn't be so bad. Treating your hemorrhoids and the causes of them will help you to diminish the painful and uncomfortable situation of prevent them from recurring throughout your life.
