Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum are swollen and inflamed. Fiber produces a softer fecal mass and encourages better regularity with less straining and irritation.

Signs and Symptoms of Hemorrhoids

Common symptoms of hemorrhoids are rectal pain, protrusion with occasional itching. There are internal and external hemorrhoids. The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids is bright red blood on toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl. Although many people have hemorrhoids, not all experience symptoms.

Causes of Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids may result from straining to move stool. Other contributing factors include pregnancy, aging, chronic constipation or diarrhea. Sitting for prolonged periods of time can cause hemorrhoids.

Treatment and Prevention of Hemorrhoids

Non-Surgical Treatment: Measures to reduce symptoms include tub baths in plain, warm water and application of a hemorrhoidal cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time.

Doctors may suggest a bulk stool softener or a psyllium fiber supplement such as Konsyl Original or Konsyl Easy Mix.
