Hemroids: The Shock Of Your Life

By Jack Bennington

When you experience bleeding whilst passing out stools you must know you have hemroids. Now there is no real reason to panic because such a situation can be dealt with if you have the right form of treatment. To treat a hemroid you will have to know a few things about hemroids, I'll inform you.

The basic thing about hemroids is that you will actually be experiencing the effects of an inflammation in the rectum. This inflammation is induced by a variety of things but generally the swelling of veins in the rectum is not the only indication, there are other sources of initial discomfort you must know.

When hemroids are in the initial phases of development the swellings only appear after you have experienced slight to mild discomfort in the rectum or around the anus area. Even though they might not be the swellings causing the discomfort the discomfort is an inseparable part of illness. The discomfort is largely a burning sensation that can make you think your buttocks are on fire.

Sometimes the very first symptom is an itch. This itch is caused by a rash that would have formed within the rectum or around the anus. Once you feel this itch it is important not to scratch because if you already have swellings these swellings can actually burst; and when they burst is when you pass out stools with blood in them.

There aren't that many causes of hemroids but constipation has been mentioned more than a couple of times. Being constipated is all about feces being trapped in the rectum because there is not enough moisture in the rectum to pass them out. So that is why you will feel the burning sensation, the pressure leads to the build up of heat and the resulting discomfort. But there have been the rare cases where pregnant women have fallen victim to hemroids. In such instances it will be the baby's weight being forced against weak rectal muscle.

Pressure build up is what basically causes hemroids. When pressure builds up it is only normal for you to experience the burning sensation in the rectum. Veins in the rectum eventually get inflamed because of the constant pressure being applied against them.

To prevent these swellings the best way is to eat foods that have a lot of fibre. Fibre in foods like lettuce; cabbage and spinach ensures that your stools are wet enough to slip through the anus without them building up because they're too dry. So when you do release stools more often you can't be scared of pressure building up in the rectum.

But if you already have them your thoughts should be directed towards treatment. I have heard of Epsom salts in lukewarm water working wonders. Put a little water in a tub, add Epsom salts and then sit in the tub for a good 5 minutes. This will reduce any swellings or irritation. You can also make use of laxative pills, the pills that trigger the passing out of stools. But if this is too much for you i recommend drinking water that will soften faeces and make them easier to pass out.
