Hemorrhoids : What Are The Causes? by Sue Bristol, R.N.

HEMORRHOIDS: WHAT CAUSES THEM? by: Sue Bristol,R.N. Hemorrhoids are almost always caused by an increase in pressure in the lower rectum.

The next logical question then is…what causes the increase in pressure? There’s not a simple answer to that question because there are so many factors that can contribute to increased pressure in the rectum and around the anus.

To name a few:

Chronic constipation, as the world “chronic” implies, is an on-going situation that just never seems to get resolved. Bowel movements stay in the colon too long and become dry and hard resulting in stretching and scratching of the vessel walls and consequent bleeding.

Learn about the causes of chronic constipation, and how a diet high in fiber will eliminate constipation as the major contributor to having hemorrhoids.

Also, chronic diarrhea: the vessels of the rectum can also be damaged by frequent liquid stools. straining with bowel movements can rupture vessels as well as lead to hemorrhoids because of increased pressure. sitting on the toilet for too long.

Sometimes people sit too long because of diarrhea or constipation or just dawdling on the toilet while reading. Bad idea! Way too much pressure on the vessels.

Pregnancy and labor: the weight of the developing baby increases the pressure on the veins in the rectum. A difficult or strenuous labor can also irritate the vessels.

Obesity: extra weight, especially in the abdomen, increases pressure on rectal veins (just like pregnancy).

Aging: because muscular support weakens throughout the body including those muscles that keep the rectal veins strong and healthy.

Heredity. One does not actually inherit hemorrhoids. However, one can inherit weak rectal vein walls which are easily traumatized by many of the other factors in this list.

Sedentary life style: blood circulation is impaired when we sit too long. ignoring signals that the bowel is full: the body is made to signal us when it is time to empty the bowel. If we ignore that call, the stool sits in the colon where it becomes hard, dry,and difficult to evacuate without straining. rushing, which often means straining: straining is bad whatever the reason.

Heavy lifting: The natural thing to do when lifting something heavy is to hold the breath and even grunt. This increases pressure in the entire abdomen, including the vessels of the rectum.

Excessive hard coughing: this causes the same increased abdominal pressure as heavy lifting. low fluid intake: The bowel needs plenty of fluid in order to keep the stool soft and moist. Hard, dry stools scratch or even cut the rectal veins.

Low fiber diet. Diets that are heavy in refined flour, sugar, meat, over-processed foods do not provide the bulk that is needed to move the stool through the bowel in a timely fashion.

Hemorrhoids and Pregnancy What a shame that this most wonderful event in life can be marred by the misery of hemorrhoids!

But, in can, so the most important thing you can do is to keep your perspective about this wonderful time. The second most important thing is to do everything you can to deal with your hemorrhoids, before and after the pregnancy.

Above anything else, make sure your doctor confirms that symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or itching are in fact due to hemorrhoids and not to something more serious that needs attention.

Why are hemorrhoids so common during pregnancy? There are several factors that contribute: changes in hormones, stretching of pelvic structures, increased blood supply to the pelvis causing congestion in vessels, increased weight, and constipation to name a few.

Whatever the cause, it is important that you do all you can do deal with the hemorrhoids in order to relieve symptoms and minimize worsening of the hemorrhoids after the little darlin’ has arrived! Now, let’s talk about hemorrhoids.

WHAT ARE HEMORRHOIDS ANYWAY? First of all, if you have hemorrhoids, sometimes called “piles”, you are not alone. Did you know that the Bible even mentions hemorrhoids? “and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had “emerods” in their secret parts.”

Men and women of all ages and walks of life suffer from them even though they are seldom discussed “out loud”. Fewer than one third of sufferers are believed to even be willing to seek medical attention. (Statistics which report the occurrence of hemorrhoids have been questioned because of the reluctance of many people to even admit they have them!)

So what is this embarrassing condition? Hemorrhoids, or piles, are swollen blood vessels in the lower part of the intestine in either the rectum or the anus. They are twisted and lumpy, similar to varicose veins and can be located inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or completely outside the anus (external hemorrhoids).

Internal hemorrhoids are generally not too painful because there are not many sensitive nerve endings located inside the rectum. However, they can become irritated and bright red blood may be noticed either on the toilet paper or in the toilet.

However, if the hemorrhoids are located on the outside (external) they may rupture and develop a blood clot called a “thrombus” often creating a sensation of sitting on something hard (the feeling is sometimes described as sitting on a hard ball which is the origin of the word “piles” from the Latin word “pilae” meaning “balls”). The thrombus (clot) may develop for no apparent reason or may develop after straining with bowel movement or after hard physical exercise.

External hemorrhoids may create problems with keeping the area clean because of soreness. While hemorrhoids may be simply labeled as internal or external, they can also be classified by degree of severity.

First degree hemorrhoids are internal and do not bleed during a bowel movement;

Second degree hemorrhoids actually bulge out from the anus during bowel movements and then return to the inside. (They may or may not bleed.)

A third degree hemorrhoid also bulges outside the body during bowel movement but needs to be manually pushed back into the rectum with the fingers.

Fourth degree hemorrhoids bulge outside the body at all times.

Internal hemorrhoids that bleed but do not prolapse are designated as first-degree hemorrhoids. Those that prolapse and reduce spontaneously (with or without bleeding) are second-degree hemorrhoids. The symptoms, home care, available treatments, and potential complications vary depending upon the kind and severity of the hemorrhoids. Jokes are often made about “piles” but in fact, hemorrhoids are not to be ignored and I’ll tell you why.

CAUSES

The underlying cause of hemorrhoids is increased pressure on the vessels in and around the anus which causes the veins to swell and become painful. The real question then is, what causes the increased pressure? Among the causes are:

pregnancy and labor
excess weight
age (more common as we age)
heredity (you don’t “inherit” hemorrhoids but you may have a genetic tendency toward developing them)
diarrhea
constipation
underlying medical conditions such as heart or liver disease or tumors (not commonly the cause)
poor bowel habits (covered below)

SYMPTOMS

bright red blood in stools or on toilet paper
painful passing of bowel movement
bulging around the anus
passage of mucus
sensitivity, burning, itching around anal area

Please note: If you experience a marked change in bowel habits or if you are passing stools that are black or tarry or contain blood clots, you need to consult your doctor immediately. These symptoms could indicate bleeding somewhere else in your bowel and need to be checked without delay.

DIAGNOSIS

The fact is, no matter how miserable hemorrhoids may make one feel, they are not usually dangerous. However, and this is a very significant “however”, it is important to be checked by a physician, preferably one who specializes in such disorders (a gastroenterologist) because other conditions requiring immediate treatment could be causing the symptoms.

Your doctor may be able to see if you have external hemorrhoids simply by looking. To check for internal hemorrhoids, he (or she) will wear a rubber glove and insert a finger gently into your rectum. During the exam, you will lie on your side with your knees drawn to your chest. Some exam rooms have a table that holds you in a “head down, buttocks up” position to make it easier for the doctor to examine you thoroughly.

If your hemorrhoids are inside the rectum (internal) the doctor won’t be able to feel them because they may be very soft. He may then wish to check you further by using a lighted instrument to look inside your rectum (anoscopy.) The doctor may suggest an ointment or cream to determine whether or not the symptoms improve. If they do not, further investigation is indicated (such as a colonoscopy which is an examination of your large bowel using a lighted instrument).

HEMORRHOID CURE series by Professional R.N.

INTRODUCTION

Hemorrhoids are as old as mankind. They are a common problem affecting equal numbers of men and women at any age (though the incidence increases after the age of 30 and half the people over age 50 have had hemorrhoids at some time in their life. Did you know that the Bible even mentions hemorrhoids? “and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.“ 1 Samuel 5:9

WHAT ARE HEMORRHOIDS?

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels which may be present outside the anus or inside the anal canal. (The anus is the end of the bowel where stool is eliminated. It is sometimes called the rectum though this is not correct).

CATEGORIES OF HEMORRHOIDS

There are four degrees of hemorrhoids.

A first-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges into the anal canal during bowel movements.
A second-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges out from the anus during bowel movements, then goes back inside by itself.
A third-degree hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel movements and must be pushed back in with a finger.
A fourth-degree hemorrhoid protrudes from the anus all the time.

Are You Looking for a natural hemorrhoid cure?

Hemorrhoids, been there, heard that. This is my story of how I finally came to terms with this ailment and how you can too. Hemorrhoids has this stigma of ‘social embarrassment’ attached with it and this makes people suffering from Hemorrhoids suffer from silent misery. With people unwilling to talk about it in public, it is generally the topic which makes you hesitant to discuss even with your doctor.

I too had my share of suffering. The uncontrolled itching, burning, pain, swelling, and bleeding down there had taken its toll on me. Mustering courage, I decided to talk about it with my doctor. No use, the same repeated advice followed. Use the creams and ointments (that I had already tried and found them to be no help) or opt for surgery. Unbelievable! A common (but painful!) ailment like Hemorrhoids needing something as major as surgery?! No way!

The surgical options even if considered did not provide any guarantee that the hemorrhoids wouldn’t reoccur. That made surgery a no-brainer.

I had almost given up on finding a hemorrhoid cure; I just wanted something to help me manage the pain and discomfort. To top it all the embarrassment attached with hemorrhoids made me not to discuss it with anyone… not even my family or my closest friends.

Leaving everything aside I had to face the fact that hemorrhoids is a serious, debilitating medical condition. And the fact that it was affecting the quality of my life. I would avoid going to places where I would have to sit for long periods of time. This dilemma also started affecting my work as I could not concentrate on my work owing to the pain. My lifestyle changed completely, and I feared that I would become a loner; my entire life began to revolve around trying to get some relief from my pain and discomfort.

I realized that the common treatments may cause temporary relief and ease the discomfort but the hemorrhoids keep coming back, again and again. I also understood that if I wish to get rid to this problem completely I had to understand the real reason for this disease. I searched the internet, talked with experts in alternative medicine and anyone and everyone whom I thought could help me. The truth that I discovered had me stumped!

So here’s what I discovered. Any problem with the digestive system, whether it is affecting the upper portion of the stomach hence causing stomach ailments or the lower end of the stomach resulting in hemorrhoids is directly related to the overall health of your digestive system. Attempting to treat only hemorrhoids was simply not the way to way to approach the problem.

This led me on the quest for a product to help me with this. And once I knew what I was looking for, it was dead easy.

Coming to my rescue was H-Miracle. I can vouch for it when I say that it is the fastest and the most effective natural cure for hemorrhoids that I have till date come across. It hits the problem at its heart and deals with curing the digestive system which would intern go on to provide permanent relief from the painful hemorrhoids. And I was reassured by the 60-day money back guarantee. What did I have to lose? Wonderful isn’t it.

I have had internal bleeding hemmorrhoids from pregnancy and the over the counter stuff has just made it so much more worse (prep H and stool softeners – what the Doc recommended). [This system] stopped the bleeding and …. now I have no pain. Wow!

Thanks,

Sue, your assessment is corroborated by this guy from New York. Many people write to Holly as you have!

Hi Holly,

Again, thanks for your wonderful advice…I also much appreciate your news letters and agree with so much of what you say, especially with regard to what doctors know and how pharmaceutical companies work. Im sure you’ll agree…it is obscene how they value the almighty dollar over the more noble cause that they originally (I hope) went into the profession for. To now, after suffering with a persistent cough for nearly 30 years and 2 operations, find that a simple, inexpensive system … alleviate my cough in only 2 doses, is astounding ! My hemorrhoid is GONE, cough nearly extinct, mild case of psoriasis on the run, all because of [this system] … Who’da thunk it?

I have introduced many of my family and friends to your system …. one of em actually takes it mixed with his Metamucil each morning!……excuse my French, but it gives new meaning to the phrase “*** sh*t”! LOL

Well thank you again for your research and dedication to solving a problem logically and naturally! If your ever giving a talk in NYC, please let me know, Id love to attend.

Sincerely,

G. Chadwick

Nanuet, New York
