Bleeding Hemorrhoids - What To Do Next


Piles and bloodloss aren't always seen in the identical case, but it's often the component that brings the problem to people's attention - at least where they begin taking action to cure the problem. This piece will look into bleeding hemorrhoids.

"It doesn't matter what the scenario, bloodloss is a serious case. Piles is certainly no different."

Both internal and external hemorrhoids can bleed, so what causes this stressful and, needless to say, embarrassing side effect?

See below, for the the different symptoms leading up to bloodloss:

Different Levels of Hemorrhoids/ More Explanation

1. Hemorrhoids propagate to life generally as a result of your lifestyle - your eating choices, your daily activities and your general health. All of these factors culminate in the strain that is placed on your varicose veins - examples could be recently giving birth, your diet, your weight and whether your suffer from bowel problems (constipation).

2. These elements cause the veins to swell and evolve into hemorrhoids - Can be either internal or external

3. When the vein is put under constant stress beyond protruding into the anal canal, it becomes punctured and starts to bleed.

Hemorrhoids can most often be remedied before the point of blood loss but what happens if, for whatever reason, you only found you had piles when the lavatory turned red?

If you are that person don't be too concerned. Early symptoms of hemorrhoids can easily be mistaken as other issues. Most of the time, it's when you begin to feel pain that hemorrhoids find their way into your mind.

Healthy And Organic Approaches For Hemorrhoids That Have Bleeding As A Symptom

Natural Treatments/ Details

Comfrey - This well-received plant has organic healing properties and produces new cells fast.

Dried Mango Seed - Half a gram of dried mango seed with honey - delicious and good for you!

Cotton Ball Dipped In Vinegar - Apply this to mitigate itching and burning sensations.

Aloe Vera - I've been using this for years, it's great for inflamed areas.

Witch Hazel - This is another alternative you have when it comes to inflammation.

Dry Figs - An under-used home cure for piles is soaked figs for breakfast. Leave them to soak in water for atleast two hours and then eat on an empty stomach - lovely!

Herbal Sitz Baths - For a long time sitz baths have been considered a natural remedy for hemorrhoids.

Kegel Exercises - While the muscles in your pelvic are strong over the period of a lifetime they do get knocked around a lot. Aside from fending off hemorrhoids, kegel exercises give you greater control of your bladder - very important as you get older as coughing and sneezing often leads to incontinence.

Lastly, eat your fiber!

Other Approaches/ Notes

Surgery -

I would recommend that having an operation should be your last port of call for treating hemorrhoids. I won't discuss surgery in this article because it would be too long. There are, however, many articles online specifically about the topic of hemorrhoidal surgery.

Creams/Ointments -

These are often the first choice for people when they come down with hemorrhoids. Namely, because they are available over-the-counter and many don't require a prescription from your physician. Once again, this topic is fairly large but you can find other articles online easily enough if you wish to explore further.

Bleeding Explained...

Chronic Constipation -

A common reason for people suffering from hemorrhoids is long-term bowel irregularity. Short-term it is almost harmless, but over a lengthy plot of time it can cause big issues such as hemorrhoids. I even go so far as to equate it to strain experienced through child birth. It can be linked to unhealthy levels of exertion.

Pregnancy -

Strain is the foundation of the problem, as I have stated. Women have evolved to take a high level of strain, but the sort of every pregnancy, of course, is dissimilar.

We can endure only up to a certain level, and child birth is a perfect example of when our bodies can reach their limit.

Little Exercise -

I would hazard a guess that this is the main reason why people suffer with hemorrhoids - A lack of exercise leads on to so many problems health related. Just so you know, this isn't related to that day you boycotted the 10 mile jog you promised to do with your best friend... I would argue that unless you make daily exercise a part of your daily routine, it's benefits will be lost on you. Enjoy it! For many folks, exercise is the nature of their work, for others, it's based in and out of work, or perhaps you head to the gym every weekend for a heavy duty regime. No matter what you opt for, just make sure it's good for both your mind AND your body - enjoy running to the gym, don't haul yourself to the gym!

Sub-par Circulation -

This is certainly an issue you want to resolve both because there are medicines that can resolve it quite easily, and there are many disadvantages to poor circulation. Your reactions to stimuli slow down, you suffer with acute pains in the extremities of your body and gradually your muscles waste away - not healthy at all.

Of course, poor circulation can also result in hemorrhoids but you can alleviate the problem with prescription drugs by seeing your doctor.

Other Tips:

* Water is truly the elixir of life - drink it, then drink it some more

* Spacious clothes are highly recommended

* Stand up every now and then if you are sitting down for long periods of time; definitely when you are sitting on the lavatory. Being stationary in the bathroom for too long means that your rectal veins begin to struggle for circulation. Make it easy for them and make the toilet as quick an affair as you can.

Scenarios That Invite Rectal Bleeding:

Potential Issues/ Info

Veins (varicose) - Piles can be encouraged by over-stressed varicose veins, as I've already explained.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease -

-- Diverticulitis, this is when small pockets can be formed in the intestines.

-- Colitis, wearing away of the rectal and colon wall until ulceration causes pain and bleeding.

Celiac Disease -

This is an autoimmune failure of the small intestine making nutrient extracting near impossible.

Fistulas -

Fistulas are abnormal contacts between two parts inside of the body. They can usually be fixed through long-term change in your diet.

Fissures -

Generally speaking, a fissure is a rip within the body

Polyps -

These are potentially cancerous growths within the body.

Prolapses -

In casual language they are known as external hemorrhoids. The elasticity of the varicose vein has been diminished and it becomes physically visible.

Going into detail about these topics is out of this articles purpose but it's definitely advisable to do some further enquiry into these.

However, when it comes to hemorrhoids varicose veins and prolapses are most connected with the condition.

The best course of action for bleeding of an unknown kind is to see your doctor first.
