Causes of Hemorrhoids and The Methods of Prevention

Did you know that the percentage of patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids has reached 4.4% globally?

Did you know that the actual percentage may exceed that declared percentage, but due to the embarrassment of some patients to visit a doctor, the numbers have become inaccurate?

 

Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anal diseases, and one of the most common complaints.

Hemorrhoids are, in short, swelling that occurs in the vessels located in the lower region of the rectum and anus. The swelling of these vessels is caused by an expansion of the rectal muscles in the lower region, which leads to prolapse of part of the rectum through the anus.

Since this area of the body is considered one of the most sensitive areas and has a high percentage of blood vessels, the pain associated with the problems of that area becomes unbearable.

Are There Stages of Hemorrhoids? What Causes them?

Yes, there are four stages of internal hemorrhoids:

⁃ The First Stage: The hemorrhoids remain in place and do not prolapse outside the rectum.

⁃ The Second Stage: The hemorrhoids hang outside the rectum when defecating, but afterwards return automatically to their position spontaneously and without any intervention.

⁃ The Third Stage: The hemorrhoids also prolapse during defecation, but they do not return on their own, and accordingly must be pushed back manually to return them to their location.

⁃The Fourth Stage: The hemorrhoids prolapse outside the rectum permanently and cannot be returned to their place except through medical intervention.

 

What Are The Causes of Hemorrhoids?

The main cause of this disease is still unknown. However, there are many motivating factors for its occurrence.

 

 

-Chronic retention.

-Pregnancy.

-Family history of this disease.

-Sedentary lifestyle.

-Obesity.

 -Not drinking enough fluids.

-Unhealthy diets, especially those that do not include fibers.

So, Can We Avoid This Annoying Disease?

Of course, by following healthy daily habits and avoiding some of the previously mentioned stimuli. Hemorrhoids are indeed an unpleasant and painful disease, but fortunately they are also preventable. Simply, adhere to these directions, and thus your risk of hemorrhoids will be reduced to almost zero:

 

• Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, especially water.

• Eat a diet rich in fiber.

• Do not delay bowl movements, especially if you feel an urgent need.

•Exercise.

• Avoid sedentary lifestyle that lacks enough movement.

• Pay attention if you are taking medications that cause constipation.

• Do not delay consulting a doctor until the matter worsens.

 

Can Hemorrhoids of The Fourth Stage Be Treated?

Of course, in the past, the treatment of hemorrhoids required surgical intervention, which resulted in severe pain and a recovery period of more than a month, but now, with the available medical development, the treatment of hemorrhoids has become non-surgical by means of laser treatments.

Laser hemorrhoid treatment is a breakthrough that has led to amazing results with minimal pain and a shortest recovery period.
