Dr. Sreepada Kameswara RaoHomeopathy Doctor • 37 Years Exp.DHMS (Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery)
What causes hemorrhoids?
When the veins around the anus or in the rectum are swollen or inflamed the patient has hemorrhoids. They can occur for the following reasons:
Pregnancy
Aging
Chronic diarrhoea
Chronic constipation
Straining to move stool (related to the previous one)
Sitting for long periods (especially sitting for long periods at a time in the toilet)
Anal intercourse
Obesity
Genetics - some people inherit a tendency to develop hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids can occur both inside and above the inside of the anus. They can also appear externally, under the skin of the anus.
The two types of hemorrhoids
Symptoms of hemorrhoids
Symptoms of hemorrhoids can often include:
Bleeding, usually painless. The patient may notice red on the toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
Itching or irritation in the anal area
Discomfort and pain in the anal region
Lumps protruding from the anal region
Swelling in the anal region
A lump near your anus, this can sometimes be sensitive (painful)
Feces may leak (without your wanting it to happen).
Internal hemorrhoids, which lie inside the rectum, usually have no symptoms; the patient is not aware of them as they do not generally cause any discomfort. However, straining when passing a stool may cause them to bleed. Straining can also push an internal hemorrhoid so that it protrudes through the anus this is called a protruding or prolapsed hemorrhoid and can be painful.
When a patient has external hemorrhoids they will lie under the skin around the anus. They can become very itchy and may bleed. Sometimes the blood may accumulate and form a thrombus (clot), which can be painful the area will swell and become inflamed.
