Hemorrhoids called varicose hemorrhoidal veins with the formation of external and (or) internal hemorrhoids (bumps), which often cause bleeding. External hemorrhoids are visible as separate formations around the anus, ranging in size from a pea to a nut.

Hemorrhoids are a common disease. It occurs either from a cold in the anus, or from a sedentary life. In women, it is mainly a consequence of childbirth.

Although hemorrhoids are removed surgically, they often return after a while.

Symptoms: at the initial stage of the disease there are no specific symptoms. Over time, a feeling of heaviness appears in the anus, sometimes itching or burning, and in the presence of cracks or inflammation, pain, especially during bowel movements. Pinching of swollen hemorrhoids can also cause pain. The severe stage of the disease is characterized by bleeding and general weakness. Heavy and frequent bleeding becomes the reason for surgical treatment of hemorrhoids.

If bleeding occurs, consult a doctor immediately!

What's happening? The causes of hemorrhoids are most often chronic constipation, uterine inflexions, inflammatory processes in the rectum, a sedentary lifestyle, prolonged standing work and excessive physical activity associated with lifting heavy objects, that is, all factors that contribute to increased pressure in the veins of the rectum. With the development of the disease, that is, dilation of the veins of the rectum and the formation of hemorrhoids and lumps in the anus, an itching and burning sensation first appears. When cracks appear and infection occurs, pain appears during bowel movements. Thinning of the walls of the “nodes” and the presence of cracks in the rectum leads to bleeding.

What to do? It is very effective in the treatment of hemorrhoids to insert suppositories made from raw potatoes into the anus at night. If there is inflammation around the anus, lubricate the corresponding areas with apricot oil.

Eat rice, cauliflower and potatoes, honey, meat and fish;

Avoid eating peas, beans and beans, mustard and pepper, cabbage, unripe fruits and black bread;

Avoid constipation and strain during bowel movements;

Maintain good hygiene; It is advisable to wash or wipe the anus area with a damp cloth if you are outside the home.

Nodular dilatation of the veins of the lower rectum. Pepper, mustard, cabbage, black bread, leguminous plants, and unripe fruits are harmful for hemorrhoids.

Potatoes, cauliflower, rice, meat, fish and especially honey are useful. For medicinal purposes, you should consume more fresh onions or juice from them (1 tablespoon 3-4 times a day); raw grated carrots; fresh apples and grapes (relieves pain); It is useful to swallow whole pieces of peeled garlic (garlic is not digested and, when released along with feces, burns the sore intestine, helping healing); drink 1-2 cups of whey on an empty stomach; for hemorrhoidal bleeding, eat more white cabbage and drink sauerkraut brine (1/2-2 cup warm).

But what remedies for hemorrhoids are reported by the Russian doctor P. M. Kurennov.

Method for treating hemorrhoids with aspen leaves

In the central provinces of Russia, old women treated hemorrhoids with aspen leaves. Everyone knows the tree on which, according to legend, Judas hanged himself. This is why the aspen seemed to become bitter.

The old women took aspen leaves and placed them on the hemorrhoidal cones, leaving them for two hours. Then they gave the patient a rest and, depending on the age of the hemorrhoids, the health and age of the patient, fresh aspen leaves were applied again, vigilantly monitoring how the treatment proceeded.

If the patient becomes restless, the leaves are removed and the area is carefully washed. The patient is allowed to rest. After a day or two, you can put the leaves back on the pine cones. As the size of the cones decreases, you should use aspen leaves less and less, gradually moving only to washing with water.

This remedy, like those that follow it, can prevent the return of hemorrhoids. If, beyond expectation, he returns, it will be only many years later.

There are several other good remedies for hemorrhoids. With the help of these remedies, the patient can be helped within nine to fourteen days if he strictly follows the instructions given above.

Caucasian method of treating hemorrhoids

First you have to do cold washes after every bowel movement. Then apply a cold compress to the bumps. It is made from a soft cloth. At first, keep the compress for one minute, three to four times a day, not counting washing after each bowel movement. Continue this way until the bumps disappear. This will take from three weeks to one and a half months, depending on a number of reasons. For example, one must abstain from alcoholic beverages, from women and from working in a standing position. Horizontal body position And rest, that is, prolonged rest in bed or on the sofa, significantly contributes to treatment.

For chronic hemorrhoids (there were cases of curing hemorrhoids sixteen years ago), so-called internal, in the old days in the Caucasus they used ice candles. For this purpose, paper forms of a cylindrical sample were made, initially of small diameter, so that they could be inserted into the anus with possible painlessness. The molds are filled with water and allowed to freeze, thus producing ice candles.

Before inserting a candle into the anus, you need to immerse the end of the candle in warm water so that the tip of the candle does not cause injury in the excretory canal, or make candles with rounded heads. It goes without saying that before inserting the suppository into the anus, the paper form is removed.

At first - three to five days - you need to hold the candle for half a minute, no more. Then, every three to five days, add another half a minute, depending on how the patient feels. If the suppository is inserted incorrectly or the patient holds it for too long, irritation may result. The patient's addiction to women and alcoholic beverages or prolonged work in a standing position can lead to high temperature in the anus. In this case, you need to do cold washes and even apply a compress from a soft cloth. Hold the latter for three to five minutes.

A simple folk method of treatment

IN In some places in Russia, village healers use a very simple method of treating hemorrhoids. It consists of the patient sitting in a basin filled with cold water(but not too cold or icy), every evening before bed for five minutes.

It is hard to believe that hemorrhoids can be completely cured in this way, but it is possible that some pain relief can still be achieved. Traditional healers advise continuing treatment for three weeks in a row, every evening.

The best remedy

To make this medicine you need the following substances: flammable sulfur in powder creamtartar, also in powder, white, and chamomile.

Chamomile must be passed through a meat grinder several times and sifted through a fine sieve to make a powder out of it. All these substances are mixed in equal quantities. Usually a tablespoon of each is taken. Cremortartar and combustible sulfur often contain lumps; They need to be ground well so that it turns out to be a powder. Rubbing the lumps is done with an ordinary spoon. After this, creamtartar and combustible sulfur are thoroughly mixed with chamomile.

For the first time, they usually buy 4-6 ounces of sulfur and creamtartar, and 12-16 ounces of chamomile, since it is much lighter in weight than sulfur or creamtartar. And even after sifting it, there is still so-called “waste” left.

Chamomile can be taken in slightly larger quantities. Approximately when preparing the medicine, take a spoonful of chamomile, full to the brim, while sulfur and creamtartar, take a spoon full to the brim.

The mixture is prepared so that it is enough for ten days, for daily use before meals, three once a day. Take a teaspoon, sending the powder directly V mouth and wash it down with lukewarm water. The powder is pleasant to the taste, does not cause disgust and is absorbed quite easily.

An indispensable condition when using this remedy: do not drink and abstain from women. You should stay in bed more and walk less. After each bowel movement, wipe the anus not with paper, but with a wet cloth.

An outstanding Persian remedy

This smoky sitz bath from thorns, which camels eat in Persia, or from garlic. Take a low iron can, put a brick heated very hot on the fire at the bottom and sprinkle either finely chopped garlic on this brick or throw in thorns. When it starts to smoke and burn, sit on the can to get a smoke bath. Continue this as needed. The Persians successfully used this method of treating hemorrhoids for many centuries.

A good Siberian and all-Russian remedy

This is juice fresh rowan. If you drink this juice for a very long time, even internal hemorrhoids will “open up”. This juice works better than a laxative. You should drink this juice three times a day, two glasses with added sugar and a glass of water.

Few words

Speaking about various recipes for the treatment of hemorrhoids, the wealthy Russian merchant and Kuban Cossack B. pointedly noted that in the clinic there is no way to treat hemorrhoids by simply washing the hemorrhoids... just with cold water and that he himself cured hemorrhoids in this very way. Merchant B. added that, having gotten used to washing during treatment, he still washes to this day, so to speak, out of habit.

Treatment of hemorrhoids with cold sitz baths is almost the same as washing. This is the first thing. Secondly, it takes a very long time to cure hemorrhoids with cold water. You need to do from three hundred to a thousand washes and take cold sitz baths for two to four months. The treatment is very slow: the game is not worth the candle. Easiest and most likely to be treated alum with hot water and drink the decoction herbs royal scepter, or mullein. Some other methods are also good and cure hemorrhoids much faster than washing and cold baths.

B. American scientist Dr. N. W. Walker in his book “Raw Vegetable Juices” describes the most fundamental way to treat hemorrhoids. In a large American city, one lawyer suffered from hemorrhoids so severe that he could not walk one block. Every few dozen steps he was forced to stop and “reset” his “sort of fistula” with his hands. After two months of a strict diet of raw vegetables and raw fruits and a large number raw (fresh) vegetable juices There was no trace left of the lawyer’s monstrous hemorrhoids.

If someone decides, in parallel with treatment with one of the remedies, to also adhere to Dr. Walker’s diet, this will greatly speed up the treatment and make it FUNDAMENTAL. By the way, with Dr. Walker's diet, walnuts and almonds replace bread. However, it should be borne in mind that not the slightest deviation from the diet should be allowed: you should not eat bread, meat, dairy products, or anything boiled, baked or fried. You cannot drink coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate, or alcoholic beverages. You can use some types of coffee that do not contain any caffeine, as well as mint tea. Chinese, Ceylon and Indian tea contain twice as much theine - almost the same caffeine as in coffee, and, of course, a lot of tannin, so they are taboo!

100% correct remedy

This recipe has cured tens (and maybe hundreds) of thousands of people from hemorrhoids.

Recipe. You need to buy a work glove. It should be made of thick leather (horse, cow, donkey). You need to cut off the middle finger of the glove, fill it with ice from the refrigerator (crushed into small pieces), lace the upper end of the leather finger and tie it so that the ice cannot spill out. Lubricate your ice-filled finger with vegetable petroleum jelly (where it is not possible to get vegetable petroleum jelly, you can use plain petroleum jelly). A finger lubricated with Vaseline should be inserted in the evening before going to bed into the anus, but so that the end of the finger remains out and the end of the cord too. In the morning, remove your finger from the ice and wash it thoroughly. Repeat this every night.

Don't be afraid at all that ice will cool the anus (and therefore the body) and cause a cold. Since the finger was made of thick skin, then no cold was possible. Remember that ice inside the finger of a thick leather glove will only cool the inside of the anus, not cold it. In four to five weeks, your hemorrhoids will go to “visit” your demonic great-grandmother...

The famous doctor O. Morozova advises drinking an infusion of Alexandria leaf for hemorrhoids, since other laxatives worsen hemorrhoids. And further:

1. Brew celandine in the following proportion: one teaspoon of dry herb per glass of boiling water, leave for half an hour and drink several cups of this brew a day.

2. 1-2 glasses of whey on an empty stomach helps.

3. Eat as many raw grated carrots as possible, and at night drink a glass of very hot infusion of horse sorrel.

Doctor O. Morozova reports a sympathetic remedy for hemorrhoids: constantly carry a stick of pure red sealing wax with you - it not only cures hemorrhoids, but also prevents its occurrence.

Ancient folk medicine books give some more tips and recipes for hemorrhoids. Here are some of them:

6. The well-known collector of folk recipes and methods of treatment, S. A. Alekseev, recommends taking sitz baths with lime water for hemorrhoids. He also cites the Georgian method of treating hemorrhoids by fumigating the anus with sulfur smoke, sprinkling sulfur on hot coals.

7. Among the Caucasian peoples, so-called ice suppositories are used to treat (chronic) hemorrhoids. To obtain them, cylindrical cups of small diameter are made from paper, filled with water and frozen. Before insertion into the anus, they are dipped in warm water to remove the paper.

For the first 3-5 days, hold the candle for no more than 30 seconds. Then every 3-5 days add 30 seconds, focusing on how you feel.

8. Ointment for the treatment of hemorrhoids, used in China and Mongolia: 10-15 g of raw bone marrow from the tibia of a pig (sometimes 50 or even 100 g are taken) mixed to a paste with 2.2 g of camphor and 1.5 copper vitriol. Apply this ointment to the anus once a day, preferably at night. The ointment should be stored in a cool place. During treatment, refrain from alcohol, sexual activity, prolonged walking and standing work.

9. Another piece of advice from an old clinic. Crush the hard-boiled yolks and place on low heat in a frying pan and heat, stirring, then squeeze out the oil, which heals burns and wounds, quenches hemorrhoidal pain, treats cracked nipples, removes freckles and spots, lichen, scars and fire marks from the face.

Are common treatment rules

It is recommended to exclude strong drinks, tea, coffee, etc., as well as red wine from the diet. All starchy foods are prohibited - white bread, baked goods, rice, potatoes, etc. In summer, it is recommended to eat fresh vegetables - tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, etc. Any hot food and drinks contribute to constipation. If bread is eaten, it should be stale rye. Honey should be replaced with sugar.

A sedentary lifestyle contributes to constipation. If this lifestyle cannot be changed due to the nature of the patient's work, the following exercises are prescribed.

Before sitting up, lift and lower your body without using your arms. These movements should be done 20-30 times every morning.

Stand straight, put your hands on your hips and squat down; repeat this exercise 20-30 times.

In bed, you should massage the abdomen using a towel lightly moistened with cold water and wrapped around your hands. This is done as follows: on the right side of the abdomen from the left side towards the ribs 10 times, on the left side of the ribs in the same way 10 times. This procedure should be repeated every morning.

Do not use rough paper. In some cases, a soft sponge and cold water bring relief without any treatment.

For hemorrhoids: make sure there is no constipation;

do not irritate the stomach with alcoholic drinks, beer, do not eat salty, hot, spicy foods;

beware of colds, especially the lower body,

avoid prolonged walking and standing work;

never sit on a cold place, especially on metal;

After each use of the toilet, wash with cold water;

The flowers of the royal scepter plant, or mullein, should be brewed in a teapot and drunk as tea.

Boil eight liters of water in a saucepan. Dissolve 400 g of alum in this boiling water. It is best to cover the pan with a wooden lid. There should be a hole in the center of the lid. Warm up the anus with steam over this hole until steam comes out. After the session, lubricate the anus (inside and outside) with Vaseline and be sure to take a laxative. Some doctors advise first taking a laxative and cleansing the intestines, and then warming the anus over the steam of boiling water with alum.

Warming up should be done no more than once a week. Two or three warmings are usually sufficient for healing.

It is very effective to combine alum steam treatment with drinking tea from the dried flowers of the royal scepter.

Take a thick clay pot or pan and pour two liters of milk into it. Place four large onions in there. The pot (or pan) must be covered with a lid. Steam all this in the oven over low heat. After this, close the pot with a wooden lid with a hole and warm the anus over steam until steam comes out. You can repeat sessions after three days. Three or four warm-ups are considered sufficient. It is a good idea to take a laxative six hours before the session, and before the session and especially after the session, lubricate the anus (inside and outside) with Vaseline.

Traditional medicine doctors consider the following remedy indispensable in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids

Take aspen leaves and apply to hemorrhoidal cones, leaving them for two hours. Then give the patient a rest and, depending on how old the hemorrhoids are, the health and age of the patient, apply fresh aspen leaves again, carefully monitoring how the treatment proceeds.

If the patient becomes restless, remove the leaves and carefully wash the area. Allow the patient to rest. After a day or two, you can put the leaves back on the pine cones. As the size of the cones decreases, you should use aspen leaves less and less, gradually moving only to washing with water.

First, you need to do cold washes after each bowel movement. Then apply a cold compress to the bumps. It is made from a soft cloth. At first, keep the compress for one minute three to four times a day, not counting washing after each bowel movement. Continue this way until the bumps disappear. This will take from three weeks to one and a half months depending on a number of reasons. For example, you should abstain from alcoholic beverages, from working in a standing position, etc. Horizontal body position and rest, that is, prolonged rest in bed or on the sofa, significantly contribute to treatment.

For chronic internal hemorrhoids, “ice suppositories” are used. To do this, paper forms of a cylindrical sample are made, initially of small diameter, so that they can be painlessly inserted into the anus. The molds are filled with cold water and allowed to freeze, thus producing ice candles. For this purpose, you can also use rubber fingertips sold in pharmacies.

Before inserting a candle into the anus, you need to immerse the end of the candle in warm water so that the tip of the top of the candle does not injure the excretory canal or make candles with rounded heads. Before inserting the suppository into the anus, the paper form or rubber fingertip is removed.

At first (three to five days) you need to hold the candle for half a minute, no more. Then, every three to five days, add another half a minute, depending on how the patient feels. If the suppository is inserted incorrectly or the patient holds it for too long, irritation may occur.

The patient's abuse of alcoholic beverages and prolonged work in a standing position can lead to high temperature in the anus. In this case, you need to do cold washes and apply a cold compress from a soft cloth to the sore spot. Keep the compress for three to five minutes.

Some traditional healers advise trying a very simple method of treating hemorrhoids. It consists of the patient sitting in a basin filled with cold water (not too cold and not icy) every evening, before going to bed, for five minutes. Treatment is continued for three weeks in a row every evening.

For centuries, a smoky garlic sitz bath has been used to treat hemorrhoids. Take a low iron can, place a brick heated over a fire at the bottom of it, and sprinkle finely chopped garlic on the brick. When it starts to smoke and burn, sit on the can to get a smoky bath. Continue as needed.

Insert candles cut from fresh, raw, peeled potatoes into the anus at night;

Apply a gruel of grated carrots or beets, wrapped in cloth, to the hemorrhoids that have come out (the procedure relieves pain and helps the nodes retract back). The best prevention against hemorrhoids is to avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, eating salty, hot, spicy and rough foods, as well as physical therapy. It is advisable to avoid prolonged walking and prolonged work while standing, monitor the regularity of bowel movements, and wash yourself after defecation with cool boiled water.

Stone oil treatment

Stone oil has an antitumor effect and quickly relieves inflammation and pain. It is very good to make microenemas with a solution of stone oil (3 g per 3 liters of water).

I advise you to add a few drops of Djungarian wrestler tincture to the stone oil solution. Wrestler is an effective antitumor agent, so it turns out to be “two in one”.

These microenemas will help not only with hemorrhoids, but also with anal fissures.

Sea salt treatment

Hemorrhoids successfully treated with sea salt. For the calm stage of hemorrhoids, rectal douching is recommended. The concentration of the saline solution is 30 grams of sea salt per liter of water, the temperature of the solution is not higher than 40°C. Course - 10-12 procedures every other day. Then a break for three days, then the course can be repeated.

Take a tablespoon of flammable sulfur powder, chamomile flowers, sifted through a fine sieve, literally ground sea salt into dust. Mix all ingredients in equal quantities. Take a teaspoon of the mixture on an empty stomach with warm water. The course of treatment is 10 days.

You can place a candle made of raw potatoes soaked for an hour in a solution of sea salt (a tablespoon of salt in half a glass of water) into the rectum. The candles are placed overnight and come out naturally in the morning.

Candles

This is the simplest remedy for hemorrhoids. They are used to influence the wall of the anus in order to improve blood circulation, relieve pain and inflammation, and also to obtain a laxative effect.

Candles made from raw potatoes

Their cut from raw peeled potatoes. Make a candle as thick as a finger and insert it into the anus.

Before inserting it, you should syringe the rectum with an enema of 1/2 glass of water.

It is best to light candles all night before going to bed. You can also light a candle during the day.

Raw carrot candles

They are made from carrots 2-3 cm long. They should be inserted into the anus for 30-40 minutes before going to bed.

Ice candles

They are made from water. To do this, fill the little finger of a rubber surgical glove or fingertip with water, then put it in the freezer until completely frozen.

The procedure for using ice suppositories is called a cryoprocedure. The candle must be kept in the anus until it completely melts.

Enemas

They are usually placed in the presence of bleeding. With hemorrhoids, the blood is red because it is arterial. In case of bleeding, it is recommended to give an enema of a 1% tannin solution, after which the patient should lie down in bed, put ice on his stomach and call a doctor. He must lie on his back all the time until the doctor arrives, and he must not be given any food. If the patient is thirsty, he can swallow ice in small pieces.

If, simultaneously with blood discharge, the patient feels either weakening or intensifying viscous pain in the lower abdomen, the following enema is recommended: 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide should be diluted in 1 glass of water. The enema is given using 4 cups of the prepared solution. It is left in the intestines until the next stool. The procedure is repeated for 2-3 days. At this time, the patient should eat pureed boiled vegetables, slimy soups and fermented milk products.

If the bleeding does not stop, you should immediately consult a doctor and undergo an examination.

For hemorrhoidal bleeding, an enema of blueberry decoction is also recommended. To prepare it, pour 2 tablespoons of blueberries into 1 cup of boiling water and cook for 30 minutes, filter the field, squeeze out the berries, and top up the broth with boiling water to the original volume. An enema is given from 4 cups of decoction.

As a treatment to help heal and regenerate tissue, douching and washing with calendula infusion are carried out. To prepare it, you need to take 3 teaspoons of raw material, add 1 glass of boiled water at room temperature and leave in a warm place for 3-4 hours. Then the infusion should be filtered through 2-3 layers of gauze, squeezed out and diluted with water, bringing the volume to the original.

For an enema, you can use calendula tincture diluted with water. To prepare it, you need to take 100 g of 70% alcohol and infuse 10 g of crushed raw materials in it for 2 days. Then 1 teaspoon of the resulting tincture should be diluted in 1 glass of water and given an enema.

For enemas, use 60 ml of this decoction or moisten napkins and apply cold lotions to hemorrhoids.

Ointments

Ointments are an excellent remedy for relieving pain and inflammation, as well as healing anal fissures. You should carefully apply the ointment to the skin or mucous membranes in a thin layer, without rubbing it. Lubrication is usually done after defecation and washing, or at night and in the morning.

To treat hemorrhoids, use marigold (calendula) ointment. To prepare it, thoroughly mix 10 g of petroleum jelly and 5 g of calendula tincture (10 g of raw material per 100 g of 70% alcohol). Apply the ointment at least 3 times a day.

Another ointment can be prepared by mixing 1 part nightshade root ash and 5 parts sesame oil. This ointment is used to lubricate hemorrhoids.

Narcissus oil helps with pain. To prepare it, you need to mix 1 part of crushed raw materials and 4 parts of vegetable oil, then leave for 18 days.

Shilajit can be used as an ointment. To do this, take 0.3-0.5 g of it, soften it with your fingers and lubricate the external hemorrhoids at night and in the morning. To treat internal hemorrhoids, mumiyo must be inserted into the anus at night. This procedure should be combined with ingestion of 0.2-0.5 g of mumiyo, dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiled water. Reception is carried out in the morning on an empty stomach.

The course of lubricating the anus with the help of mumiyo is carried out for 10 days, after which you need to take a break for 5 days. The course is repeated 2-4 times. In this case, oral administration should continue for 25 days.

To prepare another product for lubricating the anus, you need to mix mummy in a ratio of 1: 5 to 1: 8. Lubrication is carried out for 3-4 months, after which they take a break for 10 days and repeat the course of treatment.

It is useful to combine these procedures with a 25-day oral administration of mumiyo 02.-0.5 g 2 times a day. Shilajit has a general tonic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and also promotes wound healing. Recovery from advanced hemorrhoids occurs 6 months after the start of treatment with mummy.

Propolis oil is prepared from 10 g of dry, peeled and crushed propolis mixed with 100 g of unsalted butter, which must first be heated in a water bath. After this, the mixture is heated for 5-10 minutes and filtered while hot through cheesecloth. It is used for anal fissures, inflammation of hemorrhoids and pain. The ointment is applied in a thin layer to the sore spot, without rubbing into the skin, 2-3 times a day. The drug has an analgesic effect.

What are hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids are enlarged blood vessels in the anus and rectum (the right colon is the end of the large intestine). In particular, the expansion of the so-called cavernous bodies (located at the transition between arterial and venous vessels), which usually exist in this area. This vascular network contains arterial blood.

Prevalence

Hemorrhoids are so common that it is estimated that 90% of people experience the condition occasionally.

Hemorrhoids are more common in industrialized countries. According to statistics, more than 10% of the adult population suffers from hemorrhoids. The disease affects people of working age after 20 years. The most affected group are people aged 40 to 65 years. Hemorrhoids affect both sexes, with a slight predominance in favor of men.

The disease has a chronic progressive development and often leads to disability. Despite its widespread prevalence, only a small number of people seek medical help for the disease, most of whom suffer for many years before seeking medical help. Only 10% to 20% of them had surgery.

Causes of hemorrhoids

There is no specific cause for hemorrhoids. It is known that the vertical position that the body occupies has very high pressure in the rectal veins, and this, in turn, leads to their disease. There are a number of reasons that lead to the appearance of hemorrhoids.

Among the most common causes of hemorrhoids are:

• Constipation is one of the most important factors for the occurrence of hemorrhoids. The effect on bowel movements increases pressure in the venous plexuses, making it difficult for blood to dry out of them, leading to enlargement.
• Generalized diarrhea can also cause hemorrhoids.
• Hemorrhoids often appear as a result of prolonged sitting, which prevents the drainage of venous blood.
• Particular attention should be paid to pregnancy as a specific condition, often accompanied by hemorrhoids. Due to changes in hormones, weakening of the vascular wall and expansion of the uterus, which mechanically puts pressure on the blood vessels and prevents normal blood circulation in the anal area, pregnancy usually contributes to the formation of hemorrhoids or exacerbation of symptoms.
• For occupations that involve long-term sitting (drivers, office workers, etc.), due to the lack of movement, venous drainage is difficult. This leads to the appearance of hemorrhoids.
• Of course, there is a genetic predisposition. The genetic elasticity of the connective tissue from which the veins are formed determines whether a person will suffer from hemorrhoids and to what extent the condition can be aggravated. The combination of hemorrhoids, flat feet and varicose veins is characteristic of congenital weakness of connective tissue.
• Diet is another important cause of hemorrhoids. Fatty foods, hot and spicy foods, and fried foods irritate the lining of the colon. Alcohol, carbonated drinks, and tobacco also have a negative effect. Restricted fluid intake can also cause hemorrhoids. People who do not consume alcohol or foods that irritate the intestinal lining also suffer from hemorrhoids. This is due to the wrong combination of food consumed.
• Inadequate hydration (caused by inadequate water intake or excessive consumption of diuretic liquids such as coffee) can cause hemorrhoid irritation.
• With age, tissue elasticity decreases, changes in diet and lifestyle, and this leads to the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
• During physical activity, intra-abdominal pressure increases, and this leads to venous stagnation and the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
• Chronic liver diseases lead to intravenous stagnation in the rectum and, consequently, hemorrhoids appear.

Risk factors

According to statistics, about 75% of people develop hemorrhoids at some point in their lives. Knowing your personal risk factors for hemorrhoids can help a person take precautions to avoid this painful and unpleasant condition. Although hemorrhoids can affect everyone, some people face a higher risk of developing the condition.

Among the main risk factors for hemorrhoids:

• Persistent constipation or diarrhea – these conditions can lead to straining to have bowel movements.
• Family history of hemorrhoids. If you have relatives who suffer from this condition, the risk of developing hemorrhoids in the future is greater.
• Age – Although hemorrhoids can occur in younger people, they are more common in middle and old age. Half of people over 50 years of age seek treatment for hemorrhoids.
• Pregnancy and Childbirth - As the fetus grows during the last 6 months of pregnancy, blood volume and pressure on the pelvic blood vessels increases. Additionally, due to the increase in hormones during this period, progesterone can weaken the vein walls, which can contribute to the formation of hemorrhoids. Pregnancy at birth can also cause hemorrhoids.
• Overweight
• Diet - eating foods high in fat and low in fiber.
• Classes. People with occupations that require long periods of time with little or no movement are at high risk of hemorrhoids.
• Lack of physical activity
• Alcoholism
• Severe liver and/or cardiovascular disease

Types of hemorrhoids

According to location, hemorrhoids are divided into external and internal.

• External hemorrhoids develop on the outside around the anus and are located under the skin. They may feel swollen and cause symptoms such as itching, pain and bleeding.
• Internal hemorrhoids are located below the rectal mucosa and cannot be felt normally. They are usually painless and the main symptom is bleeding during and after bowel movements. It is possible that in a more advanced state, internal hemorrhoids will rupture through the anus and will not be able to return, resulting in severe pain.

Stages of hemorrhoids

There are four stages of development.

1. Stage I - hemorrhoids are above the line and not visible from the outside. Clinically, it develops with bleeding and itching, and usually there is no pain.
2. Stage II. Hemorrhoids protrude. They react spontaneously, initiating fibrotic changes. Clinically rare bleeding is observed. Sometimes mucus is released.
3. Stage III. Prolapse of hemorrhagic nodes during defecation cannot be caused spontaneously, but must be reproduced with help. There is increased anal sphincter tone and progressive fibrosis. Clinical manifestations are mucus secretion, pain, itching and irritation of the mucous membrane.
4. Stage IV. As in the third stage, prolapse of hemorrhoids occurs, but at this stage they are irremovable. At this stage there are many complaints, usually with severe pain and damage to the mucous membrane.

Pathophysiological process

The exact pathophysiology of hemorrhoid development is poorly understood. For decades, the varicose vein theory was popular, which postulates that hemorrhoids are caused by varicose veins in the anal canal, but the concept has now become obsolete as hemorrhoids and anorectal varicose veins have turned out to be separate entities. In fact, patients with portal hypertension and varicose veins do not have an increased incidence of hemorrhoids.

In the anal canal between them there are three large elevations and several small ones. The anal elevations in patients with hemorrhoids show significant pathological changes. These changes include abnormal vein dilatation, vascular thrombosis, degenerative processes in collagen fibers and fibroelastic tissues, and deformation and rupture of subepithelial muscle. In addition to these findings, there is a severe inflammatory response involving the vascular wall and surrounding connective tissue associated with mucosal ulceration, ischemia, and thrombosis.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids occur with an excessive increase in venous pressure. There are two types of hemorrhoids: internal to the superior hemorrhoidal plexus and external to the inferior hemorrhoidal plexus.

Pathophysiology of symptoms of internal hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids cannot cause skin pain because they are located above the dentate (combine) line and are not innervated by the cutaneous nerve. However, they can cause bleeding, prolapse and, through irritating deposition on sensitive perianal skin, cause perianal itching and irritation. Internal hemorrhoids can cause perianal pain by shedding and causing the sphincter complex around the hemorrhoid. This spasm leads to discomfort while the hemorrhoids prolapse.

Internal hemorrhoids can cause severe pain when encased and trapped. Again, the pain is associated with spasm of the sphincter complex. Strangulation with necrosis may cause deeper discomfort. This sphincter spasm can also cause external thrombosis. External thrombosis causes severe pain in the skin. This constellation of symptoms is called acute hemorrhoidal pain and usually requires urgent treatment.

Internal hemorrhoids most often cause painless bleeding with bowel movements. The overlying epithelium is damaged by the force of defecation with bleeding at the base.

Internal hemorrhoids may deposit mucus on the perianal tissue with prolapse. This mucus can cause localized dermatitis called itch.

Pathophysiology of external symptoms of hemorrhoids

External hemorrhoids cause symptoms in two ways. First, acute thrombosis of the underlying external hemorrhoidal vein may occur. Acute thrombosis is usually associated with a specific event, such as exercise, constipation, diarrhea, or dietary changes. These are acute, painful events.

The pain is the result of rapid swelling of the nerve skin from the clot and surrounding swelling. The pain lasts 7-14 days, progressing through resolution of the thrombosis. The stretched tumor persists as excess skin or skin tags (acrochordons).

External thrombosis sometimes destroys the overlying skin and causes bleeding. Recurrence occurs in approximately 40-50%, in the same place (since the damaged vein is located there). Removing the blood clot and leaving the weakened vein in place, rather than removing the vein with the clot, predisposes the patient to relapse.

External hemorrhoids can also cause difficulty in hygiene due to the excess skin left after acute thrombosis (skin tags) responsible for these problems. External hemorrhoidal veins under the perianal skin obviously cannot cause hygiene problems, but excess skin in the perianal area can interfere mechanically.

Symptoms and signs of hemorrhoids

The most common symptoms that occur with hemorrhoidal disease are:

• Itching and burning around the anus occurs mainly after defecation. They are caused by irritation of the surrounding skin.
• Discomfort when walking occurs periodically and is felt mainly in the left lower intestine.
• Pain is more common in external hemorrhoids and is mainly caused by trauma to the area, especially with constipation and hard feces. Pain is also typical when complications of hemorrhoids occur with thrombosis. There is also pain when there is a combination of hemorrhoids and anal fissure.
• Bleeding occurs at the end of the bowel movement, from a few drops to jugular bleeding. This is usually not accompanied by pain. Bleeding occurs due to thinning of the mucous membrane and rupture of the walls of the cavernous bodies. About 80% of patients were detected. The consequence of bleeding can be chronic iron deficiency anemia. In general, bleeding is more common in internal hemorrhoids.
• Anal secretion leaves behind dirty laundry and sometimes leads to inflammation of the skin in the surrounding area.
• Prolapse occurs when internal hemorrhoids pass through the anus due to enlargement. In the beginning they come out with traction and physical effort, and they react (come back), but in more advanced stages they come out spontaneously and remain outside, unable to return. Weakening of the anus leads to a feeling of weight, spots, discharge and secondary skin infections. This can lead to necrosis, gangrene and secondary fistulas.

Diagnosis of hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoidal complaints are usually not associated with other diseases or illnesses. However, patients with the following diseases and conditions have an increased risk of hemorrhoidal symptoms:

Inflammatory bowel disease and hemorrhoid problems; unusual hemorrhoidal signs should alert the physician to the potential presence of inflammatory bowel disease

Several anorectal conditions can cause symptoms similar to those associated with hemorrhoids. Factors that may indicate a more serious illness and should be prompted by a colonoscopy include: changes in bowel movements, abdominal pain, weight loss, rectal bleeding in the stool, or a family history of colon cancer.

Differential diagnosis of hemorrhoids includes:

• Anal fissure
• Anogenital warts
• Anorectal fistula
• Perianal abscess
• Diverticulosis
• Eczema
• Fungal infection
• Stagnation of feces
• Infections (sexually transmitted diseases)
• Rectal polyps
• Rectal prolapse
• Rectal trauma
• Ulcerative colitis
• Crohn's disease
• Anal cancer
• Colorectal tumor

Medical tests for hemorrhoids

In case of suspected hemorrhoids, there are some simple and easy steps to follow to confirm or reject the diagnosis of hemorrhoids.

Tests required to diagnose hemorrhoids:

1. Analysis of the anal area involves a rigorous examination of the anus and its surroundings, looking for external or prolactic hemorrhoids.
2. A rectal pinch is an exploration of the anus and lower rectum using a finger. In a rectal examination to check for hemorrhoidal bulges, indications of rectal polyps or tumors, abscesses or prostate adenoma in men.
3. Anoscopy is performed using a device called an anoscope. This is a hollow tube with front lighting that allows viewing of the rectum and anus for internal hemorrhoids.
4. Endoscopic examination includes sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. A sigmoidoscopy examines the sigmoid colon and a colonoscopy is used to examine the entire colon. The purpose of endoscopic examination is to differentiate hemorrhoids from other diseases that occur with bleeding from the anus.

Treatment of hemorrhoids

Treatment of hemorrhoids is divided into:

• conservative
• mini-invasive procedures
• surgical treatment.

The treatment method depends on the stage of the disease and the patient’s wishes. Sometimes a combination of several treatment methods is required.

Non-operative treatment

Non-operative treatment is usually used in stages I and II of hemorrhoidal disease. It includes:

Hygienic dietary regime

• It is recommended to avoid foods and drinks (spicy foods, strong spices, alcohol, etc.) that irritate hemorrhoids. You should consume foods rich in fiber. In addition, you need to take more fluids.
• Active movement throughout the day is recommended.
• It is necessary to regulate bowel movements with mild laxatives.
• Always wash the anal area after defecation and dry it with a soft cotton cloth. The water should be cold, not hot. Toilet paper should not be used.

Drug treatment

Drug treatment is aimed at reducing pain, inflammation and bleeding. There are medicines in various forms - tablets, ointments, creams, gels, suppositories (suppositories), foam, etc. Baths with antiseptic solutions - potassium permanganate, betadine, iodazept, etc. also have a good effect. Ointments, creams and gels for external hemorrhoids are applied in a thin layer around the anus, and internal hemorrhoids are applied through a finger or special applicators to the medicine.

Most medications contain more than one active ingredient, most containing one of the following: an anticonvulsant—most often a local anesthetic (lidocaine); vasoconstrictor component - reduces blood and, to some extent, pain; antiseptic ingredient - prevents inflammation. For acute hemorrhoidal crises, drugs containing diosmin are also used.

Minimally invasive procedures

Minimally invasive procedures are procedures that can be performed in an outpatient setting without the need to visit a hospital and have few complications. They are recommended for I, II, III hemorrhoidal diseases.

There are several types of procedures that sometimes need to be combined with each other.

• Cryotherapy is done by freezing hemorrhoidal tissue. It was used in the past in the belief that freezing the beginning of the anal canal would reduce blood supply and lead to fibrosis of the hemorrhoid. Unfortunately, the procedure was painful and associated with a long recovery period, and for this reason it is rarely used.
• Electrotherapy is the drying of hemorrhoids with an electrical charge. This method is painless and very effective in stopping hemorrhoids quickly.
• Sclerotherapy is the injection of a sclerosing agent (an irritant) into hemorrhoids. This shrinks the blood vessels, connective tissue is formed, and hemorrhoids disappear. This used to be common, but with the introduction of new methods it is less and less common.
• Laser therapy or infrared therapy - uses light in the infrared spectrum. This method is very effective in stopping bleeding. This method can be used as a stand-alone stage I and II and in combination with another stage III process. Today, the combination of infrared therapy with band ligation is the “gold standard” in minimally invasive hemorrhoid procedures. This method is absolutely painless and is applicable to outpatient treatment.
• Rubber band ligation (strip ligation) is the placement of an elastic rubber ring at the base of the hemorrhoid. Thus, its blood supply is cut off and it subsides without further intervention after a week or ten days. If the node falls out, there may be some bleeding and a small wound at the site of the node, which takes about 14 days to heal. Special endoscopic equipment is used, which can be performed on an outpatient basis and does not require anesthesia. Band ligation is only applicable to internal hemorrhoids since they do not have pain receptors like external ones. The procedure can be repeated over a period of approximately three weeks. This procedure is relatively contraindicated in patients taking antiagonists or those with compromised immune defenses.
• Over the past 10 years, ligation and infrared coagulation have been the first choice for outpatient treatment of hemorrhoidal disease for effect and minimal discomfort.

Surgery

Surgical treatment is used for internal hemorrhoids III and IV, thrombosis, external hemorrhoids, prolonged and heavy bleeding with anemia when the other two treatment methods have been exhausted.

There are several surgical methods for removing hemorrhoids, including the classic Milligan-Morgan surgery, the Parkes procedure, the Longo procedure (with a mechanical suture), and the Whitehead procedure. These hospital stays, anesthesia, known pain, long recovery period, relapse and complications.

Natural Remedies for Hemorrhoids

Often, mild pain, swelling and inflammation of hemorrhoids can be relieved with a home remedy.

Natural remedies for hemorrhoids include:

• The cold compress will help the hemorrhoids shrink and become smaller in size. This will reduce pain and reduce itching. Wrap some ice in a clean cloth and apply it directly to the hemorrhoids. After doing this several times, it will take you a day to contract the blood vessels and effectively shrink the hemorrhoids.
• Pure and natural apple cider vinegar is very beneficial in this condition and is one of the most popular natural treatments for hemorrhoids. For external hemorrhoids, take a cotton swab and soak in apple cider vinegar. Apply it directly to hemorrhoids for immediate relief. Keep in mind that apple cider vinegar applied directly may sting for some time, but it will immediately relieve itching and pain. Alternatively, you can add vinegar to your bath. For internal hemorrhoids, drinking one teaspoon of vinegar with water can relieve pain and bleeding.
• Hard stools can make hemorrhoids worse, causing more bleeding and pain. Indian plantain psyllium is rich in fiber, softens stools and eases bowel movements. Regular consumption can help reduce stress in swollen veins and speed up healing time.
• Soaking in a warm water bath can provide immediate relief from pain and itching. Keep the inflamed area immersed in warm, but not hot, water for 15-20 minutes. Wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth to dry. Regular bath with warm water helps in reducing hemorrhoids effectively.
• Recent studies have shown the benefits of tea tree oil to reduce inflammation and cure hemorrhoids naturally. Because tea tree oil is very strong, it needs to be diluted. One or two drops of tea tree oil are added to castor oil or sweet almond oil and the resulting mixture is applied directly to the inflamed area using a clean cotton swab. Using this natural remedy regularly reduces hemorrhoids until they are completely cured. Other essential oils that may have a healing effect are lavender and rosemary essential oil.
• If you have witch hazel at home, it can help reduce pain, itching, and bleeding from hemorrhoids. Apply a small amount of chamomile regularly to the inflamed area for long-term benefits.
• Aloe Vera is an effective natural ingredient that helps relieve hemorrhoids quickly. The anti-inflammatory effect of aloe vera soothes symptoms in a quick and easy way. For internal hemorrhoids, cut the aloe vera into strips, removing the thorns. Apply it to the inflamed area to reduce inflammation. For external hemorrhoids, apply a gel extracted from the plant to soothe and moisturize swollen veins.
• The antioxidants contained in lemons help in treating this disease. Apply lemon juice directly to the inflamed area or consume ginger with honey to reap the benefits of the fruit to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Olive oil is another ingredient that helps in treating the symptoms of hemorrhoids. It has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the affected area and reduce discomfort. It also increases the elasticity of blood vessels, reducing trauma when passing hard stool. Regular consumption of small amounts of olive oil with food may improve bowel function due to the presence of unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil.
• Known for its soothing properties, almond oil is mainly used to treat external hemorrhoids. Dip a cotton ball in pure almond oil and apply it to the affected area. It moisturizes and soothes inflammation, relieves burning and itching in the area around the anus. Do this several times a day.
• Dryness can make hemorrhoids worse and may lead to excessive bleeding. Never use a dry towel to wipe the affected area as this may cause unwanted scratches which can aggravate the swollen blood vessels. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe the affected area without rubbing the skin. You can also place vitamin E capsules in the anus to soothe and moisturize the area.
• Some lifestyle changes such as drinking water and maintaining good hygiene will help you get rid of hemorrhoids quickly. Adequate water intake hydrates the entire body, also promotes bowel movements and keeps stool soft, reducing the need to strain during bowel movements. Never delay defecation as this may worsen the condition and delay treatment. Always wear comfortable clothes to reduce inflammation due to hemorrhoids.
• Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Since hemorrhoids can be caused by constipation or straining during bowel movements, increasing your fiber intake may improve your condition. Fiber helps soften stools and is important for the health of the gut and digestive system in general. Sources of fiber include vegetables of all kinds, flaxseeds, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, dried prunes, pears and beans.

How to prevent hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are usually not life-threatening, but can cause significant discomfort.

Most cases of hemorrhoids are caused by several different factors. If you prevent these most common causes from occurring, you would be able to prevent the painful and annoying symptoms of hemorrhoids.

Preventing hemorrhoids involves several components:

Diet rich in fiber

Almost all hemorrhoids are caused by constipation or diarrhea, both of which can be treated with a healthy diet that includes enough fiber and water every day. Adding fiber to your diet is one of the best natural ways to prevent hemorrhoids.

High-fiber foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, protect against hemorrhoids by helping digestion, cleanse the rectal wall and promote painless and easy bowel movements. Every day you need to take about 25-35 g of fiber to maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract.

Drink enough water

This hemorrhoid prevention strategy is simple, but very few people actually do it. Along with a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, water is the key to normal bowel movements and the absence of hemorrhoidal problems.

Drinking plenty of fluids, especially during meals, helps for good digestion and prevents stool from becoming hard. In addition to water, you can consume other types of healthy liquids, such as fruit and vegetable juices.

A sufficient amount of water intake for an adult is 6-8 glasses of water per day.

Physical activity

Preventing hemorrhoids also includes regular physical activity and exercise and maintaining a healthy weight.

Physical activity helps improve body functions, including the digestive system, which allows you to easily eliminate waste and prevent intestinal pathologies such as constipation and diarrhea. Exercise also helps reduce weight and reduce the risk of hemorrhoids.

Changing Daily Activities

Certain daily activities can also be a risk factor for this discomfort, so changing them is necessary to prevent hemorrhoids:

• Avoid prolonged sitting and, if possible, take short walks.
• If possible, avoid frequent heavy lifting. If a heavy object still needs to be lifted, always breathe as you lift it and hold your breath.
• During pregnancy, sleeping on one side will reduce pressure on the blood vessels in the pelvic area.
• Stress is also one of the common causes of hemorrhoids, so reducing stress is important in prevention.

Defecation habits

The key to preventing hemorrhoids is maintaining a regular bowel movement schedule. No bowel movement should be delayed if there is an impulse for it. Otherwise, the stool will become hard and dry, and therefore must exert additional pressure to remove the body, resulting in swelling of the veins and tissues of the rectal wall (hemorrhoids).

You should not spend long periods of time on the toilet, as gravity and pushing can cause unwanted pressure on the tissues of the rectum. For this reason, reading while sitting on the toilet should be avoided.

In addition, good hygiene is important - you need to wash the anus. After defecation, the anal area should be gently wiped with damp, soft, unscented toilet paper and then dried. More intensive cleansing and excess moisture around the area should be avoided as this can cause irritation and inflammation of the rectal tissues, leading to hemorrhoids.

Diet

Establishing a consistent structure of eating habits and diet is part of hemorrhoid prevention. Jumping in meals or constantly changing the timing of regular meals should be avoided as this can lead to poor digestion, which in turn can cause symptoms of hemorrhoids.

Taking herbal and nutritional supplements

Taking certain herbal and dietary supplements offers beneficial options for preventing hemorrhoids.

Using fiber as a dietary supplement is an alternative to getting enough fiber for your body. To avoid bloating and flatulence, supplementation is started gradually over several days.

Butcher's broom and wild chestnuts are useful in preventing hemorrhoids, both are used for circulatory problems, although they should not be taken by people with high blood pressure, benign prostatic hyperplasia, alpha blockers, MAO inhibitors or blood thinners, or pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Suitable dietary supplements for the prevention of hemorrhoids include bioflavonoids as well as antioxidants. Bioflavonoids are chemical compounds found in fruits such as citrus fruits and blueberries. Antioxidants come from many healthy foods, including green tea and blueberries. Although you can take them in capsule form, it is often better to simply eat foods rich in them.

• Risks

• Treatment

Hello dear readers. Today I would like to touch upon a topic that may not be entirely pleasant for many, this is the treatment of hemorrhoids at home, as well as in other possible ways. Unfortunately, in our time, this disease is progressing more and more from our modern life.

So let's try to figure it out.

Hemorrhoids (from Latin - haemorrois) is a disease from the field of proctology. It occurs as a result of difficulty in normal blood circulation in the lower intestine - in the vessels of the hemorrhoidal plexus.

Manifestations of the pathology are varicose veins and their thrombosis, as well as the formation of hemorrhoids. The disease may be accompanied by bleeding, pain and complications such as iron deficiency anemia.

According to statistics, approximately one fifth of the world's population suffers from this pathology. At risk are, as a rule, mature people aged 45–50 years.

Unfortunately, there is a tendency towards “rejuvenation” of the disease - this means that people younger than this age are increasingly seeking medical help in connection with this problem.

Hemorrhoids are distinguished according to the location of the hemorrhoids:

1. External (anal), when hemorrhoids protrude outward in the form of compactions.
2. Internal - when hemorrhoids form deep in the rectum and cannot be visually detected.
3. Combined - nodes are located both inside and outside the opening of the rectum.

• The primary symptoms are discomfort in the anal area.

This is a feeling of heaviness (as if there is a foreign body in the rectum), burning, hyperemia of the skin in the anus, as well as itching, mucous discharge and pain (pulling or cutting pain), constipation is possible.

The complex of sensations both precedes defecation and continues after it, as a result of which the patient suffers even at rest.

• An extremely alarming symptom is bleeding, which can occur regardless of bowel movements.

The reason for the bleeding is that the walls of the blood vessels become covered with micro-tears formed as a result of the expansion of hemorrhoids. Expansion occurs under the influence of blood stagnant in the nodes.

The consequence of the appearance of micro tears is the leakage of blood into them, and in especially severe cases, bleeding, which can lead to iron deficiency anemia.

• Bleeding is typical only for internal and combined forms of hemorrhoids. The external form is characterized by swelling.
• As the disease progresses, hemorrhoids move outside the anus - this process is called prolapse. The likelihood of loss increases with physical activity and even strong straining during bowel movements. The process may be accompanied by acute pain and increased body temperature.

The development of the disease occurs in 4 stages with progressive symptoms:

1. Mild symptoms: the appearance of the first nodes, a feeling of discomfort that may periodically appear and subside. Diagnosis of the disease at this stage is difficult, since people often tend to ignore symptoms until a certain time.
2. At this time, hemorrhoids begin to fall out, which is sometimes accompanied by minor bleeding. With timely medical intervention, the disease at this stage can be successfully treated.
3. Significant loss is recorded, which can be provoked by minimal physical activity. Swelling, fever, heavy bleeding.
4. Hemorrhoids protrude strongly outward, the patient experiences severe pain. All this is accompanied by intense bleeding, which can lead to even more serious complications.

Medical intervention is necessary

In addition to the four stages, the course of hemorrhoids can occur with varying intensity and be either pronounced (acute hemorrhoids) or mild, when symptoms appear episodically (chronic hemorrhoids).

Chronic pathology is dangerous because at any moment the disease can turn into an acute form, so you should regularly conduct preventive examinations with a doctor and avoid excessive physical exertion.

Genesis factors

There are a number of factors that increase intra-abdominal pressure, which contributes to the development of the disease.

The body's hereditary tendency to develop hemorrhoids significantly increases the risk of developing pathology. In this case, the disease itself is transmitted, as such, but a certain genetic material containing a tendency to hemorrhoids.

For example, genetically the material may carry congenital vascular dysfunction and a tendency to form blood clots. As a result of an extremely intense influx of blood or its difficult passage and outflow through the cavernous veins, these veins are stretched, their walls are deformed and lose elasticity.

They become thinner and blood penetrates into the lumens of the vessel walls - bleeding occurs, which gradually intensifies as the disease develops.

A decrease in the level of physical activity, sedentary work for a long time, sedentary leisure time at the computer - all these factors fully contribute to the genesis of the disease.

Truck drivers, bank employees, government employees who receive people, and all groups of office workers in general are especially at risk.

The reason is that with minimal physical activity and sitting for many hours, the temperature in the lower parts of the rectum gradually increases, vasodilation and blood stagnation occur.

Excessive exercise

As a result of the influence of excessive stress on the body, such as prolonged standing and heavy work, hemorrhoidal inflammation can develop especially intensively.

With heavy loads, the muscles and blood vessels in the anus become overstrained, and with prolonged standing, the blood in the lower parts of the rectum stagnates.

The risk group includes both athletes and people with heavy physical labor, as well as administrators of trading floors, security guards at the entrance to various establishments, teachers, bartenders, hairdressers, etc.

The situation becomes especially dangerous if you are overweight. To prevent hemorrhoids, it is recommended to maintain a normal level of physical activity and not overexert yourself.

Low level of nutritional culture

Intestinal peristalsis, i.e. its ability to contract and push food through is impaired as a result of insufficient fiber obtained from plant foods.

Eating on the go, quick snacks and eating fast food - all this worsens intestinal function, contributing to the formation of hemorrhoids.

Frequent consumption of spicy food has a particularly negative effect, because... it simultaneously promotes blood concentration in the rectal area and has a negative effect on the intestinal mucosa, being a strong irritant.

One of the common reasons for vasodilation with all the negative consequences can be alcohol consumption, both periodic and regular.

Alcohol can especially easily provoke the transition of hemorrhoidal inflammation from the chronic phase to the acute phase.

Disturbed bowel movement

This factor includes two types of disorders: constipation (especially chronic) and diarrhea.

In the first case, feces accumulate in the intestinal cavity, gradually becoming compressed and hardening. At the same time, the walls of the rectum experience pressure, which results in impaired blood supply and the formation of hemorrhoids in this area.

Also, constipation makes people especially tense during pushing, which contributes to the knots falling out. In the second case, diarrhea causes irritation of the rectal mucosa and stimulates the appearance of inflammatory processes.

This pathology is a common occurrence both during gestation, when the vessels of the abdominal cavity and in the intestinal area are subjected to particularly intense pressure, and during childbirth, with extremely strong overstrain of the vessels as a result of pushing out the fetus.

According to some data, approximately half of women who give birth experience some degree of inflammation of the hemorrhoids.

Traditional medicine is widely used - they help well in the early stages, relieve pain and prevent the intensification of inflammatory processes, as well as tone and cleanse the body.

Often folk remedies are used along with drug therapy as additional methods. In any case, it is important to consult with a specialist in a timely manner in order to prevent complications and the transition of hemorrhoids to the next stages.

Traditional medicine offers a variety of formulations and treatment approaches. Herbs, oils, as well as some products, etc. are used.

Baths

One of the most popular ways to combat hemorrhoids is to sit in bathtubs, and there are many options:

Baths are relevant in the prevention and counteraction of hemorrhoids in the early stages, and if the situation worsens, they will be a good addition to other remedies.

During the cooking process, the crushed root is poured with a liter of water and after boiling begins, it is kept on the fire for another quarter of an hour.

After infusion, the broth must be carefully strained.

In addition to baths, you can successfully do compresses and washes.

Preparation includes the following steps: 50 g of chestnut bark is poured with a liter of water and boiled in a water bath for another half hour.

The bath is preferably done after bowel movements and helps remarkably with bleeding.

Two liters of boiling water are slowly poured into 4 tbsp. herbs, and then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. You need to sit in the bath for ten minutes.

Four peeled onions are boiled in milk (it is better if the fat content of the milk is higher). After filtering, clean boiled water is added to the mixture - the resulting volume of liquid should be 2.5 liters.

It is recommended to take a bath with this infusion once a week.

Oak bark bath

The bark is mixed in equal proportions with other ingredients - plantain leaves and chamomile, poured with boiling water, after which it is simmered over low heat for another half hour.

Twice a day (ideally in the morning and before bed) you need to sit in a basin (bath) with cold water for 5 minutes - this will have an analgesic effect and help stop bleeding.

In addition to baths, regular washing with cold water after each bowel movement and applying cold compresses for 1 minute will be useful.

Washing and compresses are an additional remedy; they should be done regularly for 1 to 2 months.

Effective for external manifestations of hemorrhoids. Usually carried out in a ten-day course, sitting continues until the water cools and is repeated daily.

You will need finely grated garlic or onion peels - they need to be thrown into a hot bath.

You can also add various decoctions to the water - sage, St. John's wort, calendula, etc.

Steam baths

Steam baths are done once a week for 2 weeks or a little longer. After warming up, be sure to apply Vaseline to the anus, both outside and inside - this will prevent irritation and inflammation.

The essence of the procedure is to warm the anus over steam. 8 liters are boiling in a saucepan. water in which alum is dissolved (slightly less than 500 g).

The pan is closed with a special wooden lid, in the center of which a hole is made.

Pour 2 liters into a clay container. milk and add 4 large onions. Cover the container and place on low heat.

You will need one tsp. pharmaceutical chamomile and a glass of water. The water is brought to a boil, after which the flowers are poured into it. During the procedure, the anus should be kept above the steam, the lower part of the body should be wrapped in a towel or blanket to concentrate the heat. The duration of the procedure is a quarter of an hour.

Smoke bath

A special type of heating when using tin containers and ordinary bricks, which are heated over a fire. After heating, the brick is placed in an iron container (for example, a can), and covered with chopped garlic.

During the process of smoke formation, the hemorrhoid sufferer holds the anus vertically above the brick.

Compresses

The next folk remedy is complex - these are compresses, various poultices and lotions. They help stop bleeding and heal nodes. Compresses should be made 2 to 5 times a day.

Preparation: one tsp. dry tansy is poured with boiling water (250 ml) and infused for an hour. After careful filtering, gauze soaked in infusion is placed on the site of inflammation.

For this procedure, you need to purchase a propolis tincture with alcohol at the pharmacy - a gauze napkin is moistened in it, which is applied to the hemorrhoidal cones.

Particularly effective when knots fall out. The procedure involves applying grated beets wrapped in gauze to the areas of inflammation. Alternatively, beets can be replaced with carrots, as long as the compress is cold.

Chopped pharmaceutical burdock is taken in the amount of 4 tsp. It is poured with 500 ml of boiling water, after which it is infused for 5 - 10 minutes under the lid. Apply after straining and cooling.

A glass of boiled water is cooled to room temperature, after which the water is poured into a container with crushed flowers. The container is closed and placed in a warm place for 2.5 hours. You need to strain through a thick cloth.

Take 4 tsp. herbs and pour two glasses of water (you can take milk). The mixture is boiled for 30 minutes, after which it is filtered and applied to a cloth or gauze, previously soaked in cold water.

For cooking you will need 4 tsp. flowers brewed in a small amount of boiling water. The resulting paste is applied to a tampon, which is then placed in the inflamed area. The gruel should still be hot.

Used for cones falling out. The plant without the root is crushed and placed in an opaque container so that one quarter of the volume remains empty - vodka is poured into it. The container is placed in a warm place without light and remains there for 2 weeks.

Complex lotion

You need to mix equal amounts of chamomile inflorescences, marshmallow leaves, sweet clover and flaxseeds - all this is crushed to a powder and poured into a linen bag or sack.

Before use, the bag should be kept in hot water for 10 minutes.

Sweet clover poultice

For cooking you need one tbsp. l. Pour boiling water over the herbs (about one glass) and leave for 120 minutes, and then strain thoroughly.

Ointments

A good remedy is homemade ointments made from various herbs, oils, propolis, and an astringent component - petroleum jelly. You can also apply mumiyo to cracks.

Ointments give positive results not only for external hemorrhoids, but also for internal and combined ones. They are applied to a tampon, which is inserted into the anus at night before going to bed.

The course of treatment with ointments is 10 days.

The most potent ointment is obtained by combining oak bark, grated beets, pepper grass and flaxseed.

The same amount of melted hot lard is added to this mass, and it is important to express the fat in a timely manner.

Oils

Useful oils for hemorrhoids include corn oil, propolis oil, olive oil, narcissus oil, flaxseed oil, and grape oil. These types of oils are used internally before or during meals.

Other oils are used in the treatment of hemorrhoids, applied both internally and externally. These include stone and sea buckthorn oils.

Less popular than the others, but more potent, is rock oil.

This remedy came from the east and is a natural mineral, it prevents inflammation, can stop bleeding, and accelerates healing.

Stone oil is used both as a solution for oral administration and as a means for microenemas.

The course of treatment is about 2 months.

Ingestion

In 2 l. water dissolves 2.5 g of the ingredient. Taken orally in the morning, afternoon and evening 30 minutes before meals.

Microclysters with stone oil

2.5 g of the substance are dissolved in 2 glasses of warm water, plus 2 tsp. honey One microenema requires 100 ml of solution, they need to be carried out every day after defecation.

Sea buckthorn oil

Thanks to the properties of sea buckthorn, the development of hemorrhoids can be stopped. In addition, it promotes cell regeneration, and the collagen in its composition prevents the thinning of the walls of blood vessels.

Sea buckthorn oil is taken 30 minutes before meals and is also used for lotions.

This category includes juices (including vegetable juices), vegetables, fruits, pickles, berries, honey, plant decoctions (celandine, nettle, St. John's wort, yarrow, burnet, barley, dandelion, mullein and others).

Most products are consumed orally, with the exception of a few - aspen leaves, for example, can not only be brewed, but also applied as a compress (without gauze).

A special group of plants are those that help strengthen blood vessels - these are rose hips, chestnuts, hazels, etc. Tinctures with or without alcohol are prepared from them, which are taken 30 - 60 minutes before meals.

They work especially well as preventative agents.

Particularly effective for internal hemorrhoids.

They are used either individually or in a course of 3–5 days. In some cases, enemas are given 2–3 times a day. The average enema volume is 250 ml.

Enemas are usually filled with decoctions and infusions: wormwood, chamomile, strawberry leaves, horse chestnut, calendula, oak bark, St. John's wort and others.

Beetroot juice or mumiyo in the form of an aqueous extract can serve as a filler. Enemas help well with pain, bleeding, they cleanse and treat the rectal cavity.

Douching can be done every other day, the course duration is 10 procedures.

Candles (suppositories)

A more radical folk remedy is candles. They are used rectally by inserting a suppository into the anus. Before use, it is advisable to make a microenema with boiled water.

Suppositories are made from lard, honey, but potatoes and ice are especially popular.

The manufacturing principle is to roll up a rounded cup from paper, fill it, and then freeze it. Next, the paper is removed, and the end of the candle is wetted with cold water, so as not to get injured.

You can also use vegetable oil as a lubricant. The suppositories are left in the anus overnight.

Most often, raw chopped potatoes are used, but you can do it differently: the potatoes are peeled, after which they are shaped into a cone.

Frozen in a paper cone or rubber finger, the chamomile infusion is inserted into the anus. Procedure time: during the first 5 days, hold for 30 seconds, then increase the time by 30 seconds at a three-day interval.

Suppositories with alternative filling

These include garlic cloves lubricated with Vaseline, crushed celandine with lard, and raw peeled carrots (inserted for half an hour).

Candles made from candied frozen honey, a mixture of starch, mumiyo and milk in equal parts are used.

There are 2 key methods: conservative treatment (effective in the early stages of the disease) and surgical.

Conservative

Antithrombosis measures - carried out through the use of anticoagulants (heparin ointment) and other drugs that prevent thrombosis.

Measures to strengthen blood vessels - phlebotropic drugs (Phlebodia, Detralex) based on tribenozide and troxevasin with an analgesic effect are prescribed.

These drugs restore blood microcirculation and increase lymph flow.

Surgery

It is carried out at critical stages of pathology, with severe prolapse of nodes and bleeding. Includes a number of techniques:

Laser coagulation

The safest method is in which a laser beam burns out the internal nodes and bevels the external ones. Another advantage of the method is the absence of scars after healing.

Bipolar coagulation

A bipolar charge is used, causing the veins to weld and close together. After the procedure, noticeable marks remain, but the effectiveness is high even at the last stage of hemorrhoids.

Electrocoagulation

Two electrodes forming tweezers clamp the unit, which is affected by the supplied alternating current.

The heat beam is focused for 1 second on the hemorrhoidal formation, in the vascular base of which sclerosis begins under the influence of high temperatures.

Sclerotherapy

An injection is injected into the hemorrhoidal nodes with a special syringe using an anoscope, the action of which stimulates the formation of connective tissue in the areas where the blood vessels grow.

Alloying

Latex rings are put on the prolapsed nodes, under the pressure of which the node dies from lack of blood supply.

Desarterization

The supply of the nodes is stopped due to ligation of the terminal arterial branches, as a result of which the nodes atrophy.

Operation Longo

At the point of concentration of nodes, circular resection is performed using a medical stapler. Special sutures are applied just above the base of the hemorrhoidal formations.

Surgical excision, in which hemorrhoids are removed with a scalpel. The risk of injury is high, so the use of this technique is gradually being reduced.

Hemorrhoids in men and women

Hemorrhoids in men, like hemorrhoids in women, are dangerous due to possible complications, such as: the formation of malignant tumors (cancer), paraproctitis - suppuration in the rectal area, hemorrhoidal anemia - as a result of a decrease in the level of red blood cells in the blood, nonspecific colitis - the formation of ulcers on the mucous membrane around the rectum, fistula, cryptitis, thrombosis.

Less serious consequences will be decreased libido, weakness, apathy, etc.

Ignoring the first symptoms can lead to serious consequences, so it is strongly recommended to consult a specialist.

Even during pregnancy, you should not neglect preventive measures - regular exercise in a gentle manner, proper nutrition, complete abstinence from drinking alcohol.

If hemorrhoids form or worsen during pregnancy, sitz baths (both cold, hot and steam) are contraindicated.

However, during lactation the use of certain decoctions and infusions, as well as medications, is excluded - they can harm the baby.

The possibility of using conservative medical methods, and even more so, the advisability of surgical interventions, is considered by the attending physician, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.

Hemorrhoids are a rather specific disease, so their detection is often within the power of the patient himself. Diagnosis becomes simple when hemorrhoids are stage II or higher. Due to the easy definition of the disease and embarrassment, many people do not turn to a specialist. Treatment of hemorrhoids at home is one of the most pressing topics. Without resorting to physiotherapeutic methods and surgery, it remains possible to use traditional medicine and drug treatment.

Causes of the disease

Before treating hemorrhoids at home, it is worth eliminating the factors that provoke the disease. Hemorrhoids can result from other diseases or be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. In the first case, eliminating the underlying ailment will allow you to get rid of the symptom, and in the second, normalizing the rhythm of life will significantly speed up recovery.

The key provocateur is a pathology in the bloodstream, when blood stagnates in the pelvic and rectal organs. This is often accompanied by thinning of the vascular walls and the formation of blood clots. Due to weakness in the pelvic floor muscles, a certain group of people are predisposed to blood flow abnormalities.

Poor diet is a risk factor for the development of hemorrhoids (abuse of spicy, fatty, salty and smoked foods, chronic overeating)

Reasons for appearance:

• low mobility of a person, most often due to professional activity;
• bad habits – smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction;
• poor nutrition, excess weight, a large number of heavy and unhealthy dishes on the menu;
• coffee abuse;
• severe physical stress due to work or sports;
• pregnancy and childbirth;
• prolonged constipation with the need to strain hard to defecate;
• oncology in the intestines;
• chronic diarrhea;
• passion for anal sex;
• stress of a psycho-emotional nature, often accompanied by depression.

Today, the occurrence of diseases due to psychological reasons has become more frequent.

During pregnancy, a systemic restructuring of the body occurs, accompanied, in particular, by a chronic increase in intra-abdominal pressure and venous stagnation

Symptoms

Often, hemorrhoids are indicated by only one symptom - the presence of blood clots in the stool. Depending on the form of the disease, marks may appear as dark spots. If the blood has had time to harden, it is often concluded that there is a small effusion. When scarlet blood appears, possibly leaking after a bowel movement, hemorrhoids have reached significant severity. The second case is characterized by a long course of bruising. Due to significant blood loss, the patient develops a severe form of anemia when hemoglobin drops to 50 g/l.

The second most common symptom is associated with the prolapse of nodes from the anus. Typically, the symptom manifests itself during bowel movements, and the prolapsed lumps are self-reduced, but as the disease progresses, manual reduction will be required. In severe forms, loss can occur even in cases of severe physical stress.

Painful sensations accompany the prolapse of hemorrhoids, this is a signal of a worsening degree of the disease. Often the pain syndrome is accompanied by thrombophlebitis and an inflammatory reaction, then a diagnosis of acute hemorrhoids is made.

Initially, signs of hemorrhoids are a feeling of heaviness, itching, burning in the anus

Symptoms depending on the stage of the course:

1. Thrombophlebitis without an inflammatory reaction - the nodes protrude slightly, are small in size, quite dense, and the severity of pain is low.
2. Thrombophlebitis with the participation of inflammation - swelling, hyperemia, severe and intense pain is formed, as well as increased pain during palpation or movement.
3. The inflammatory reaction involves the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue, the mucous membrane is often covered with ulcers, which over time undergo necrotic changes.

Pain relief

Damage to hemorrhoids is often accompanied by pain. Before treating hemorrhoids at home, you need to eliminate the pain syndrome that causes serious discomfort. The pain may appear only during defecation or have a persistent, aching character. When a blood clot forms, the pain becomes even more intense.

Detralex is a drug that reduces capillary permeability, prescribed for venous-lymphatic insufficiency, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, prostatitis

The method of eliminating pain should be selected individually, as it directly depends on the stage of the disease. At the initial stages, the emphasis is on drugs with a local effect. In advanced forms, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or anesthetics in tablets (Venarus, Pilex, Phlebodia, Detralex) are additionally used.

Before you do anything about hemorrhoids at home, you need to numb them. There are two main ways to eliminate pain: suppositories or ointments.

Suppositories for pain:

• "Relief" contains hydrocortisone and an anesthetic substance. The drug anesthetizes, has a static effect on inflammation and itching, produces an antiallergic effect, and accelerates the restoration of damaged tissues. Candles are installed no more than 4 times a day;
• “Ultraproct” is a drug with a hormonal substance that is used to quickly achieve results. Used three times a day, and the dosage is gradually reduced. Produces an anti-inflammatory effect and a strong analgesic effect;
• "Anuzol" provides an anti-inflammatory effect. The drug is classified as an antispasmodic. Used for short-term help, so the number of uses is up to 6 times/day;
• “Procto-glivenol” is a drug that has a pronounced venotonic and anti-inflammatory effect, which is administered 2 times a day. 1 candle each;
