Hemorrhoids Symptoms and Treatments

Hemorrhoids are abnormally or markedly swollen or dilated veins and interlacing blood vessels or nerves, in or around the anis often complicated by inflammation. Hemorrhoids typically occur in the right front of the body, right hind part of the body, and side of the body and universally affect adults and children.

External hemorrhoids are located below the pointed conical projections on the anis. Internal hemorrhoids are located above the pointed conical projections on the anis and are lined by rectal mucous membranes. External and internal hemorrhoids can protrude; they may regress spontaneously or be reduced manually.

Hemorrhoids can present no symptoms of disease but may cause bleeding, protrusion, and pain. Rectal bleeding should be attributed to hemorrhoids only after more serious conditions are excluded. Hemorrhoidal bleeding, which typically follows defecation and is noted on toilet tissue, rarely leads to anemia or severe hemorrhage.

Only the formation or presence of a blood clot within a blood vessel or ulcerated hemorrhoids are painful. The formation or presence of a blood clot within a blood vessel appears as protruding tissues surrounding the anus and is also commonly associated with anal bleeding. These protrusions can vary with pain from nonexistent to severe.

Less commonly, internal hemorrhoids cause mucus discharge and a sensation of incomplete evacuation; external hemorrhoids cause difficulty in cleansing the anal region. Localized or generalized itching due to irritation of sensory nerve endings from organic or originating in the mind or in mental or emotional conflict causes is usually not a symptom of hemorrhoids.

Blood clots within an anal blood vessel and ulcerated swollen strangulated hemorrhoids can be readily diagnosed on inspection of the rectum. Examination after straining at stool or a phosphate enema often reveals the extent of a person’s hemorrhoidal condition. Anoscopy is essential in evaluating painless hemorrhoids.

Stool softeners or bulking agents may correct constipation and straining, thus allowing hemorrhoids to resolve. Pain caused by a thrombosed hemorrhoid can be treated with reassurance, warm sitz baths, anesthetic ointments, or witch hazel compresses. Bleeding hemorrhoids can be treated by injection sclerotherapy with 5% phenol in vegetable oil. Bleeding should cease at least temporarily.

Medical professionals and the general public have been showing greater interest in the development of plant medicines. Medicinal plant extracts are listed in the 8th edition of Useful Drugs, a handbook published by the American Medical Association in 1930. A particularly growing area of study concerns the potential of plant medicines to cure skin diseases, including hemorrhoids.

And with improving analytical methods, developers of plant medicines have also been able to determine the traceability and safety of these natural products. As a result, it is also becoming increasingly acceptable to use plant medicines for more serious illnesses such as herpes, human papilloma virus (HPV) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

HemorrhoidBalm-Rx and AntiHemorrhoidDrops are well-established highly effective hemorrhoids treatment products. Our treatment for hemorrhoids is characterized by very strong and real pharmacological activities, which unequivocally qualify our solution as an 'ethical drug'. The effectiveness is undisputed.

These remedies are concentrated with pharmacological extracts well documented to greatly improve the overall tone of rectal tissue, as well as provide effective treatment of hemorrhoids. The Journal of Pharmacology, April 2005, reported these extracts deliver a "strong inhibitory effect" and "significant anti-inflammatory activity" against hemorrhoids.

HemorrhoidBalm-Rx and AntiHemorrhoidDrops are therefore established as a truly efficacious hemorrhoids treatment. The venous blood decongestant and astringent properties of these treatments provide quick and safe elimination of piles. To learn more, please go to http://www.naturespharma.org.
