Rectal Bleeding As Possible Hemorrhoids Symptom
Anal bleeding is actually a symptom of hemorrhoids, it can appear with internal and external hemorrhoids. In case of internal
hemorrhoids you must be even more cautious because bleeding can be a sign of additional gastro-intestinal troubles such as
fissure, fistula, colorectal cancer, diverticulosis or colitis.
That is why it is very important to have your doctor diagnose it properly.
Cause of bleeding hemorrhoids
Usual reason why hemorrhoids bleed are veins in rectum that grow to be enlarged with too much blood and rupture because of it.
Usually it happens either during or just after the bowel movement. In most cases with internal hemorrhoids it is caused
by a pallet like, very hard stool.
Stool this hard is difficult to push out and straining caused by this is responsible for hemorrhoids swelling with blood even more. It is easy for stool this hard to tear open the already injured, inflated hemorrhoid tissue and cause the bleeding.
In case that you are experiencing a hemorrhoid prolapse, the cause can be external (too much rubbing with toilet paper, extended sitting periods or even synthetic underwear).
With external hemorrhoids similar to hemorrhoid prolapse, anal bleeding can be caused “mechanically” by excessive wiping
and cleaning of an already irritated area.
Symptoms
First thing you are going to notice is going to be small blood streaks in your stool, on your underwear and toilet paper. Before bleeding starts sometimes you can also feel other hemorrhoid symptoms like general discomfort in your rectal area, anal itching and burning sensation.
But you can equally experience hemorrhoids bleeding as the very first symptom of hemorrhoids without experiencing any of the
not as much alarming symptoms at first. In case of external hemorrhoids you will notice hemorrhoids symptom very easy and
very fast.
Usually you are going to sense the bulge or swelling around your anus, you might also experience itching and burning feeling but with external hemorrhoids you always have the option to use the hand held mirror and check what is going on.
Treatment
Treatment is never high-speed, but you have more than a few methods that can help your body heal the damage faster. First thing you have to do is to soften your stool in order to prevent the damage that can be done to your colon by hard stool.
This is going to help the injured tissue restore to health quicker and stop the anal bleeding. This is crucial for internal as well as for external hemorrhoids.
You should try to avoid using toilet paper, instead use moist wipes or better yet take a shower or wash up in a bidet after the bowel movement. This is essential for external hemorrhoids because most of the rectal bleeding in this case is caused by
mechanical damage done to the damaged tissue by wiping, also try to use soft, cotton underwear.
You can also use suppositories and natural creams for speeding up the healing as well as for lubrication of the colon, this way it will be much easier to pass the hard stool.

Can you Really Treat Hemorrhoids With Home Remedies
Hemorrhoids are not at all rare and most people have a 50% chance of developing this condition sometime in there life. While there are steps that one can take to minimize the chance of getting hemorrhoids, you may already be a hemorrhoid sufferer. If so then you may well be looking for a way to treat this painful and sometimes embarrassing condition and there are indeed many available treatments on the market. This article will discuss the natural, home remedy treatments available and examine how they stack up against other treatments.
In order to treat hemorrhoids it is important that you understand what they are. Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins in the anus and rectum so to treat them, it is a simple matter of finding a way to reduce the swelling caused by inflammation and eventually remove the source of the inflammation all together. While there are products such as over the counter creams and suppositories to do this, you may rather try some home remedies instead.
One of the easiest ways to treat the symptoms of hemorrhoids is to understand that hemorrhoids happen because of increased pressure and straining in the rectal veins. By making simple changes in both diet and lifestyle, you can make a big impact on the pressure applied to these veins. One of the biggest causes of straining during a bowel movement is a hard stool and to keep your stool soft, a change in diet can often help. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber will make you more regular and keep your stool soft. You may also wish to consider an over the counter stool softener medication. Increased pressure in the rectal veins can also be caused by excessive sitting, especially on the toilet, and by standing for too long. Changing your lifestyle to get more exercise and spend less time sitting can definitely make a difference in reducing the symptoms of hemorrhoids. While diet and lifestyle changes can help, they will take some time and you may be looking for more immediate relief.
One way for more immediate relief is to take warm sitz baths several times a day which will help reduce swelling. The bath can contain warm water or you can also add herbal ingredients for further effectiveness. It is important to keep your hemorrhoids clean and dry but you may wish to avoid using soap as it may cause further irritation. You should also avoid dry toilet paper and use moist toweletes to avoid irritation. Ice or cold packs can also help to reduce the painful swelling.
As you can see, there are steps you can take from the comfort of you own home to reduce and perhaps remove the discomfort of hemorrhoids and certain lifestyle changes may eventually remove the condition all together. If you find that this type of treatment doesnt work for you, there are other methods available such as over the counter creams, surgery, and some herbal remedies which I will discuss in some other articles.

Top 5 Ways To Cure Hemorrhoids
As almost any pregnant woman can attest, hemorrhoids are no laughing matter. However, embarrassment over the condition and unwillingness to ask questions often leaves people with no idea how to treat the problem. Generally, the most mild forms of hemorrhoids will heal themselves, but people often find it necessary to treat the symptoms while waiting for natural healing. Treating the symptoms is more a matter of personal comfort than medical need.
Hemorrhoids are swollen and painful blood vessels around the rectum, usually further irritated by constipation so the most recommended treatment is more for the constipation that the hemorrhoids themselves. Doctors recommend doses of fiber and lots of water to loosen the bowels and allow people to avoid irritating the hemorrhoids.
The second most common form of treatment comes from over the counter medication. Manufactured under several brand names, one common treatment for hemorrhoids are anti-inflammatory pads or wipes. These items allow a person to smear an anti-inflammatory directly on the affected area and give immediate relief to the discomfort caused by the hemorrhoids. Generally, due to the swelling, hemorrhoids are hot and the anti-inflammatory treatments provide a form of cooling relief. The same type of medication is also available in an ointment. The ointment is designed to reduce swelling and remove the heat from the area.
An herbal treatment for hemorrhoids with the same basic idea is to treat the area with the gel from inside an aloe vera plant. Pre-packaged aloe will also work. The idea is basically the same as treating a burn. Another herbal treatment for hemorrhoids is rose hip tea. The tea is supposed to remove the swelling internally as well as relaxing the patient so that they can begin to heal.
Patients suffering for hemorrhoids are also encouraged to take baths in warm water for 15 minutes twice a day to ease the discomfort and promote healing.
Modern medicine’s contribution to the treatment of hemorrhoids is the creation of a cold-applicator. Small cryogenic applicators are used to place cold directly on hemorrhoid to ease the pain and swelling. This treatment is reserved for more severe cases as is the option of surgery. In past decades, hemorrhoid surgery was the defined treatment for extreme cases or cases that did not heal on their own. Now, surgery is the treatment of last resort when other efforts to minimize the suffering from hemorrhoids have failed.
As with many other illnesses, doctors recommend prevention as the best option, but acknowledge that this cannot always be the case as there appears to be some genetic predisposition to hemorrhoids. But for those without the genetic calling to hemorrhoids, the best treatment is to eat a diet healthy in fiber and to remain hydrated as a way to avoid constipation. Constipation though not a cause of hemorrhoids is often a contributing factor and straining to use the bathroom can cause the problem to worsen

hemorrhoid treatment?
I have had hemorrhoids for about 3 years off and on. I have used over the counter meds. My doctor has perscribed supporsitories and onintment when the over the counter no longer worked. My doctor thinks surgery is not needed at this time. Besides fiber and water which I know are importatnt is there are there any natural meds or any other treatments worth trying that won’t be a waste of money. Doctors and sufferers of hemorrhoids please respond only. Thanks
Hey, I totally understand what you are going through. When I was pregnant I was beside my self with Hemorrhoids and the doctor said that it would go away after I had the baby, but, it never did. So after I kept going back to my Doctor and him saying the same thing I decided to get another opinion. Anyway I did and in fact I did have to get them surgically removed, ever since that I have never had a problem, so with that being said I think you should get a second opinion and get them removed.
Good luck
Your fellow sufferer. LOL.
