Hemorrhoids are rectal veins that have become prolapsed and inflamed. Hemorrhoids come from a group of veins known as the hemorrhoidal plexus in the rectum. For this reason they are called hemorrhoids.There are two groups of veins: internal veins and external veins.

There are also two types of hemorrhoids and they are classified according to there location. When only the internal veins are the ones affected then they are called internal hemorrhoids . If the external veins are the ones affected then they are called external hemorrhoids.

The symptoms are a little different for the two types of hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are asymptomatic many times. They manifest themselves mainly as bleeding.

People with internal hemorrhoids are usually asymptomatic ( have no symptoms). But they may be shocked when they see the presence of blood in the stool. Sometimes large amounts of bright red blood may be seen but sometimes just a streak of blood on the stool is seen.

Warning: Please consult you medical doctor for a complete evaluation if you have this symptom.

Signs and Symptoms present mostly in the external form of hemorrhoids are:

• Bleeding after bowel movement or noticed while wiping the anal area
• Pain and swelling to the point where it can make walking difficult
  
• Itching and irritation around the anal area
• Hemorrhoids protruding from your anus
• A Sensitive and painful lump near your anus
• Fecal Leakage

What Causes Hemorrhoids?

Bad life-style practices are the main culprit in the development of hemorrhoids. Some of these are:

1. Low amounts of fiber in the diet

2. Straining during a bowel movement

3. Obesity

4. Constipation

5. Lack of Exercise

But the thing is, you can prevent and improve hemorrhoids by modifying these life-style factors but many times you cannot correct them completely after they have developed.  These measures are necessary to prevent hemorrhoids and improve them but will not cure them completely.  If you are suffering from hemorrhoids you need to  modify these factors but you also need extra help to get rid of hemorrhoids completely.

Treatment options vary in the conventional and alternative medicine field. A great variety of creams, suppositories and ointments have been manufactured to relieve hemorrhoids. Understand that these serve only for symptomatic relief. They do not give complete relief from hemorrhoids!

Surgery is the method commonly used to correct hemorrhoids but two things may happen. One that is very litle known is that even after surgery these Hemorrhoids can COME BACK!! And number two is that unless you have a great insurance plan the procedure is very expensive.
