Hemorrhoids (Piles) are swollen, inflamed veins in the rectum & anus that are
preventable, treatable, self-diagnosable, & mostly benign. They are more
common in men than women. Typically women develop them during pregnancy.
Classic symptoms: rectal pain during strained bowel movements,
itching, painless bleeding (bright, red blood), & occasionally protrusion
into the anal canal (''hemorrhoid prolapse'').
Internal hemorrhoids develop
inside the rectum where you cannot see or feel them, they generally do not hurt
because the rectum. has fewer pain-sensing nerves than the anus & often
they bleed. If they enlarge outside the anal sphincter you can see or feel them and they hurt.
External hemorrhoids develop
inside the anus. They are painful and can be felt and seen when they move &
enlarge during defecation especially when you are constipated.
Occasionally blood clots form within prolapsed external hemorrhoids, causing thrombosis, a very painful condition. When this
happens, the hemorrhoid turns blue or
purple and bleeds. Thrombosis will go away in a couple of weeks if
you follow the steps in this video.
Causes:
§Heredity of fragile veins, varicose

§Anxiety/Stress.
§Processed
foods (see next slide).
§Extreme abdominal pressure, which makes
veins swell & irritated, caused by:
ØObesity.

ØCoughing,
sneezing, vomiting.
ØPregnancy.
ØStanding
