Internal And External Hemorrhoids
Both internal and external hemorrhoids are among the most common ailments to affect humans today. External hemorrhoids develop around the rim of the anus.
External hemorrhoids cause most of the symptoms associated with hemorrhoids (pain, burning, and itching) because the skin around them is very sensitive. If anexternal hemorrhoid becomes strangulated (cut off from blood supply), a clot can form in it and become an excruciatingly painful thrombosis hemorrhoid. Thrombosis of an external hemorrhoid causes an anal lump that is very painful and often requires medical attention
You often can prevent hemorrhoids by preventing constipation and straining to havebowel movements. The following diet and lifestyle changes may help you to soften the stool, and avoid the straining that can lead to hemorrhoids:
• Include more fiber in your diet – fresh fruits, leafy vegetables, and whole-grain breads and cereals are good sources of fiber.
• Drink adequate amounts of fluids – 6 to 8 glasses of water daily.
• Exercise regularly
• Do not strain or sit on the toilet for long periods of time. Straining for more than 5 minutes can be harmful. Try not to stay on the toilet any longer than necessary.
• Use a soothing wipe, such as baby wipes or witch hazel pads, to clean after eachbowel movement and to ease the pain.
• If your main job activity is seated, always stand or walk during your breaks. Make it a point to stand and walk at least 5 minutes every hour and try to shift frequently in your chair to avoid direct rectal pressure.
• Avoid heavy lifting, which puts pressure on the anal opening
Hope you will enjoy your life in healthy. It is better to prevent before it become worse every day.
