Understanding & Healing Hemorrhoids Naturally

We don’t talk about it often, but hemorrhoids happen more often than not. According to the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation, 60 to 70% of Canadians have or will be affected by this disease. This represents more than 3 in 5 Canadians! We will help you understand what hemorrhoids are and how you can relieve their symptoms naturally.

What are hemorrhoids and why do they appear?

Hemorrhoids are dilated veins located in the rectum or at the level of the anus that create swollen and sometimes painful areas. There are two types:  internal hemorrhoids, located in the lining of the rectum, and external hemorrhoids, situated at the level of the anus.

If internal hemorrhoids can go unnoticed, external hemorrhoids are often more visible and painful. They are hard masses with violaceous colors. The causes of hemorrhoids are numerous.

Among the main causes are obesity, digestive discomfort, low fiber consumption, the fact of forcing or rushing when defecating, heredity or pregnancy or child birth.

Symptoms and treatments of hemorrhoids

People suffering from hemorrhoids may notice blood in their stools, itching, discomfort in the rectum, hypersensitivity of the anus or small painful bumps.

Generally, hemorrhoids disappear by themselves after 10 to 15 days. However, some people are permanently affected by them. Whether flare ups are long or short, there are treatments to relieve symptoms and help your body get rid of these inflammations faster.

Hemorrhoids are benign but can in very rare cases, turn into thromboses or cause anemia. In any case, consult your doctor. He will be able to establish a diagnostic and speed up healing.
