Hemorrhoids come from the veins near the anus swelling.
They occur when too much pressure causes the muscles supporting the vessels to weaken.
In those cases, the vessels enlarge, lose the muscle support and cause the vein to protrude.
Sometimes hemorrhoids form a large mass on the anus and other times they cause tears or fissures in the skin.
The hemorrhoids can be internal or external.
If they are internal, the veins may poke through the anus and push out the opening.
These are prolapsed hemorrhoids.
Not every hemorrhoid lump is a protruding internal hemorrhoid; some are simply blood clots that formed in the external hemorrhoid.
These are thrombosed external hemorrhoid.
It doesn't matter what you call them.
The pain is often incredible.
If they itch, you can't scratch it in public but it hurts if you do it in private.
They often cause bloody stool, making it excessively frightening and sending you running, not walking to the doctor's office.
Once at the doctor's office, you sigh a bit of relief when you find it's simply a hemorrhoid.
Of course, "simply a hemorrhoid" doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
Your eyes glaze over as you listen to the doctor tell you the medical treatment for the bleeding hemorrhoid.
Traditional medicine uses various treatments for hemorrhoids.
Slathering on smelly cream that leaves you with a fishy odor is one method often recommended.
It often leaves stains and you never know when the oily spot will leak through to your outer clothing and leave a much more embarrassing oil slick.
Applying the ointment is another uncomfortable situation also.
Rubber band ligation starves the hemorrhoid of blood until the area inside the rubber band shrivels and drops off after a week.
Normally this procedure is for prolapsed hemorrhoids or bleeding ones.
Since there's no hospital visit, doctors assure you this is safe and doesn't hurt.
They forget about the week long dull pain you endure.
Often doctors neglect to tell you that each hemorrhoid requires a separate treatment.
Often these are a month apart.
This is a time consuming procedure leaving you with gnawing pain and irritation for great lengths of time.
If your hemorrhoids are painful, just imagine getting an injection of a scar producing agent or saline into them.
That's schlerotherapy, also called injection therapy.
There are dangers of complications with this type of therapy, although treatment to several hemorrhoids at once is possible.
Three other painful methods are cryosurgery or freezing the hemorrhoid, electrocautery and laser or infrared cautery.
These burn or freeze away the hemorrhoid often leaving pain, post-operative drainage and a potential for infection.
The most severe hemorrhoids receive treatment by surgery known as a hemorrhoidectomy.
The doctor removes the hemorrhoid with either a laser or scalpel and then sews the area he cut with stitches.
There is pain for as long as six to eight weeks, the surgery is expensive, it can destroy nerve endings so you don't know when you have to use the bathroom and worse of all; it's far more painful than the hemorrhoids.
Why would you select conventional hemorrhoid treatment when there are natural cures for hemorrhoids that don't involve oils, creams or surgery of any type?
