Many individuals who suffer from hemorrhoids experience bleeding.
Some do not feel the pain, unless they suffer from thrombosed external hemorrhoid.
There are different causes to hemorrhoids, it mostly is due to pressure in the anal region, such as pressure to the blood vessels due to constipation.
It can also be due to bad hygiene that caused inflammation and blistering in anal region.
The signs and seriousness level will determine what kind of treatment a doctor will take.
More conventional hemorrhoid remedies involve sitz bath or simply curing constipation are used to treat the symptoms.
However for more serious cases, the doctors may use different techniques such as infrared coalescence and rubber band ligation.
Another method namely sclerotherapy is no longer common, thus doctors stop using this treatment.
Rubber band ligation is a technique whereby a rubber band is used at the hemorrhoids area to stop blood flow to that region.
As a result of that, the hemorrhoid will eventually fall off.
This is done to more medium degree of hemorrhoids.
Surgical treatments known as hemorrhoidectomy which is done mostly on higher degree of hemorrhoids.
Part of the blood vessels is removed and replaced with gauze to regulate bleeding.
During the recovery period, patients will experience some pain.
It will take about 1-2 weeks to recover.
At this period, patients are advised to take more fiber rich food.
External hemorrhoids are mostly caused by prolonged sitting or serious long term constipation.
Treatment is carried out by eliminating the external part which caused issues during bowel movement.
An example is thrombosed external hemorrhoid.
This is formed by blood clotted at the external rectal region forming a lump.
The lump can be detected, it is small and rigid.
However, most patients experiencing this suffer more pain.
But, on the other hand, it seldom bleed.
The typical treatment is by sapping or removing the whole hemorrhoid.
Again, patients are advised to take high fiber diet.
