HAEMORRHOIDS

Swollen anus or lower rectum veins are haemorrhoids. They may be internal (rectum) or external (anus skin).Haemorrhoids may result from elevated pressure within the anus and rectum veins due to straining, constipation, pregnancy, and obesity.
There are two primary types of haemorrhoids:
  1. Internal Haemorrhoids: the rectum above the anus contains these. They are painless and invisible. However, bowel motions may induce rectal bleeding.
  2. External Haemorrhoids: These are beneath the anus skin. They may cause itching, bleeding, and masses or bulges.
     
Haemorrhoids can happen both inside and outside the body at the same time. Haemorrhoids can cause pain and soreness that range from mild (Grade I) to extremely painful (Grade IV).
Some common reasons why people get haemorrhoids are:
  1. Straining during bowel movements causes haemorrhoids. Straining may enlarge and inflame the rectum and anus veins.
  2. Chronic constipation or diarrhoea: Both can put pressure on the rectum and anus veins.
  3. Pregnancy: Haemorrhoids may develop during pregnancy due to the increased strain on the pelvic veins.
  4. Obesity: Obesity puts strain on pelvic veins and increases hemorrhoid risk.
  5. Sitting for long periods: Veins within both the anus and rectum may be strained during prolonged sitting, particularly on the toilet.
  6. Ageing: Haemorrhoids may form when the tissues that support the veins in the rectum and anus deteriorate with age.
  7. Genetics: Because of their genes, a few individuals may be more likely to get haemorrhoids.
  8. Other factors: People who already have health problems, like liver disease or an anal infection, are more likely to get haemorrhoids.

Some common symptoms of haemorrhoids are:
  1. Rectal bleeding during bowel movements: Haemorrhoids' most common symptom. The toilet paper or bowl may show bright red or darker blood.
  2. Itching or irritation around the anus: Itching or soreness in the anal area can be caused by haemorrhoids. This can be painful and may cause you to scratch, which can cause more irritation.
  3. Pain or discomfort during bowel movements: Having a bowel movement can be painful or uncomfortable if you have haemorrhoids, especially if they are on the outside of your body.
  4. Swelling or lumps around the anus: Haemorrhoids on the outside of the body can cause lumps or swelling around the anus, which may feel like sharp, painful bumps.
  5. Leakage of faeces: haemorrhoids, in their most extreme forms, may lead to faecal incontinence or bowel leakage.
 
Some things that can go wrong with haemorrhoids are:
  1. Anaemia: Haemorrhoids that keep bleeding for a long time can cause anaemia, which is when the body doesn't have enough red blood cells.
  2. Strangulated haemorrhoids: If internal hemorrhoid loses its blood flow, it can become "strangulated" and cause a lot of pain and bleeding.
  3. Thrombosed hemorrhoids: External hemorrhoids may swell and hurt if a blood clot forms. Thrombosed hemorrhoid.
  4. Infection: Hemorrhoidal infections are painful, and if germs get into the area around the hemorrhoid, you may need to see a doctor.
  5. Anal fistula: An anal fistula, an irregular connection that exists between the anus and the skin, may result from chronic hemorrhoids in rare situations.
The acid-alkaline balance in the body, and especially the blood's pH, can benefit from neurotherapy treatments. It has also been observed that it increases the regularity of bowel movements by stimulating them.
