Hemorrhoids Treatment and Remedies
Hemorrhoids are dilated veins around the rectum. They may be either internal (not visible from the outside) or external.
Wrong eating habits may be a cause of hemorrhoids. Eating a diet that contains a large amount of refined foods that are low in bulk (fiber), tends to cause small, hard stools, resulting in straining and constipation; this causes the pressure inside the colon to increase.
Taking ordinary commercial laxatives that are on the market may also be a cause, as many of them irritate the membranous lining of the colon.
Symptoms
Swollen veins are present around or inside the rectum. These swollen blood vessels frequently become irritated and bleed.
Sometimes the bleeding is quite severe and may even result in anemia and weakness. If a blood clot forms in a hemorrhoid, it becomes swollen, blue, tense, and extremely painful. At times the veins inside the rectum are so swollen that when the stool passes they are forced to the outside. In this case, some oil should be used and they should be replaced inside. Often there is extreme itching.
