Hemorrhoids are protrusions in the vascular network beneath the anal canal. In healthy person, the tissue surrounding the anus, or “anal cushion,” fills with blood to help regulate the elimination of waste materials from the body (i.e. bowel movements). When excessive pressure, or other factors, cause the veins within the “cushions” to become inflamed and stretch, hemorrhoids are the result.
Signs and Symptoms:
The signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids vary from person to person, and are dependant upon the classification of hemorrhoid. Keep in mind that the signs and symptoms listed below may be an indicator of a more severe, underlying deficiency.
External Hemorrhoids: Itching, Burning, and Irritation are common. Streaks of blood may also appear on toilet paper after straining during bowel movements.
You may also find it difficult to thoroughly cleanse the anal area.
Internal Hemorrhoids: Rectal Bleeding and pain are regularly complained about. Internal hemorrhoids can be extremely painful, as they often protrude and can become thrombosed, or clotted. Mucus is also another indicator of Internal hemorrhoids, as is blood upon your stools or in the toilet.
