Haemorrhoids

Overview

Haemorrhoids are knots of dilated veins under the skin around the anus. This is a vascular problem of the vessels of the whole body, not only vessels of the anus alone. Therefore, it cannot be treated by surgical operation if a person does not change his lifestyle which has caused it. Haemorrhoids is associated with difficulty in venous outflow which can be triggered by a sedentary lifestyle, standing work, weight lifting, pregnancy, childbirth, age-related hormonal changes, constipation and other factors. But two factors are always present, it’s an incorrect diet and insufficient movement. Inflamed haemorrhoids get additionally damaged during defecation so the hemorrhoidal bleeding may occur. The knot of dark veins may fall out of the anus and if the prolapsed nodes are infringed or damaged, blood clots may develop in them and the infection can penetrate into the body. If due to pain people restrain their stool this can lead to more serious complications such as acute thrombophlebitis, paraproctitis, etc.

Haemorrhoids can be internal, external and combined.
