HEMORRHOIDS
HEMORRHOIDS
At about 1:30pm on a very hot Sunday, a Friend of mine called me and of a truth I was so very surprised because she rarely calls - we chat more. Of course, I did picked the call and she asked where I was. I simply told her class and she quickly asked me to come online. In short, I knew it had to be an emergency and so therefore I left everything I was doing and slid into a her DM.
She then went ahead to tell me that some stuffs where actually growing around her anus and that she's very scared. I asked for picture and she sent. To be candid, I didn't know what they were but fortunately for Us, she got a Medical Doctor who diagnosed it to be Anal Hemorrhoids.
Lol. I knew what they were and I just began to laugh uncontrollably.
This is it guys. You are whatever you eat often. Your body gives you what you give it. If you give it garbages, it packages and give you garbages. If you give it goodies, it packages them and return them back to you.
Let's dive into the matter now.
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. They are common, especially during pregnancy or after childbirth, and are usually not a serious condition.
There are two types of hemorrhoids:
1. Internal hemorrhoids: These occur inside the rectum and are usually not painful but may cause bleeding.
2. External hemorrhoids: These occur under the skin around the anus and can be painful, especially if they become thrombosed (develop a blood clot).
Symptoms of hemorrhoids may include:
- Bright red blood in the stool or on the toilet paper
- Pain or discomfort during bowel movements
- Itching or irritation in the anal area
- A lump near the anus (external hemorrhoid)
- Straining during bowel movements
- Feeling of fullness or pressure in the rectum
Hemorrhoids can be caused by:
- Increased pressure during bowel movements
- Sitting for long periods
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Pregnancy
- Obesity
- Genetic predisposition
Treatment options include:
- Dietary changes (increasing fiber and fluid intake)
- Exercise
- Avoiding straining during bowel movements
- Over-the-counter creams or suppositories
- Prescription medications
- Rubber band ligation (a minimally invasive procedure)
- Surgery (in severe cases)
