What are Hemorrhoids?

wave icon

Hemorrhoids are clusters of swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins.. 2

They are a result of increased pressure on the blood vessels in your bottom and can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids), often leading to anal discomfort, bleeding, itching or pain.

Do you have hemorrhoids ?

The symptoms of hemorrhoids are many and varied. Typically, hemorrhoidal swelling leads to anal discomfort and itchiness and you might feel a bulge in your bottom, experience anal discharge, redness and inflammation, or see blood when using the toilet. If you experience this or any of the illustrated symptoms for the first time (or if your symptoms extend beyond a couple of days), you should consult a health care professional to rule out other conditions instead of self-treating right away.

Treat Your Symptoms Early

Hemorrhoidal symptoms can start off quite mildly and often resolve on their own, but this isn’t always the case. Understand the benefits of taking action to treat and prevent hemorrhoid symptoms. 2

External Hemorrhoids are what most people think of when they picture hemorrhoids. Location is the only difference between the two different types of piles, but the difference in discomfort can be considerable. External hemorrhoids form on the outside of the anus, directly on the opening where there are lots of nerve endings, so can be particularly itchy and painful.

Internal Hemorrhoids are formed deep inside the anus and are not usually visible. They can resolve without treatment, but occasionally they will swell and protrude from the anus. Prolapsed hemorrhoids are internal hemorrhoids that have grown to the point that they protrude from the anus. Severity of internal hemorrhoids is measured using a grading system, based on how far they protrude:

Grade 1

Bleeding​ Visible on proctoscopy, Protrusion on straining​, No prolapse

Grade 1

There may be bleeding, discomfort and itching, and protrusion on straining, but no evidence of prolapse. It is nonetheless essential that you treat from this first stage to avoid worsening symptoms.

Grade 3

When hemorrhoids progress to Grade 3, bleeding is more frequent and your piles will prolapse on straining and need to be pushed back in. You can do this yourself. If there is a thrombosis (blood clot inside the vein) as well, the pain may be very strong.

Grade 4

Is the most serious stage. You will have permanent piles that you can’t push back in yourself without pain in addition to previous signs and symptoms. Surgery in addition to venoactive treatments such as Daflon becomes essential.

What are the risk factors for Hemorrhoidal disease?

wave icon

Hemorrhoidal disease affect people from all walks of life at various stages in their lives. Main risk factors for hemorrhoidal disease include chronic constipation, obesity, increasing age or pregnancy.

Preventing Hemorrhoids

wave icon

Overall lifestyle modifications can help prevent the excess pressure that causes hemorrhoids. Try incorporating some of the following advice into your daily routine to help protect against piles and their recurrence. 2

Eat high fibre foods

Try including more high fibre foods in your diet such as fruits, vegetables, brown rice, wholewheat pasta and wholemeal breads. These will keep your stools soft and avoid constipation (which can lead to straining and result in Hemorrhoids).

Exercise

Regular exercise will help relax muscles and increase blood flow for better healing.

Drink plenty of fluids

Drinking plenty of fluids (especially water) will help keep your stools soft and manageable.

Go when you need to

If you wait to pass a bowel movement, it can result in your stool becoming dry and harder to pass.

Try a fibre supplement

A fibre supplement can help ensure you are getting enough fibre in your diet if you struggle to get enough through foods.

Avoid sitting for too long

Sitting for too long, particularly on the toilet can increase the pressure on the veins around your anus making them more susceptible to Hemorrhoids/prolapse.

Don’t strain

Straining on the toilet can put even more unwanted pressure on the blood vessels and aggravate an already sensitive area.

In addition to lifestyle modifications, there are a range of treatments available for easing the symptoms of hemorrhoids, including gels, creams and suppositories.
