Loading... Please wait...Almost everyone on the planet could be a candidate for Internal Hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids have a long history and will likely plague mankind forever. Early references to Hemorrhoids can be found in ancient texts around the world. Internal Hemorrhoids do not always represent the worst of Hemorrhoid symptoms and pain. In fact, many people only discover they have a problem with internal Hemorrhoids after a visit to their doctor. For others, the condition may represent just mild discomfort. Internal Hemorrhoids can be painful or not, depending on their location in the rectal cavity.
Internal Hemorrhoids are basically a varicose vein in the anal area. They can be manifest as a single bump or multiple Hemorrhoids. The swollen or dilated blood vessels can protrude for the intestinal wall and remain undetected for some time. In some cases they only manifest themselves through an exam, or through bleeding during bowel movements. Even with the bleeding variety, it is possible to not have any pain associated with internal Hemorrhoids. Blood present in the stools or toilet water is always a reason for seeing a doctor to confirm exactly what the issue is. Starting with a firm diagnosis is always going to be the best course of action if you have not done so already.
There are a variety of treatment options for internal Hemorrhoids. A good doctor should recommend a diet regimen which includes a good amount of fiber. Be sure to share with your doctor any lifestyle factors which could contribute to your symptoms. In severe cases, your doctor may recommend surgery. For some people who have explored all other options, this may be the only choice left. Yet we consider surgery should be the option of last resort. Be sure to be educated on all your options.
