Hemmeroids are dilated or bulging veins of the rectum and anus. Hemmeroids are somewhat similar to varicose veins that develop in the legs, only that hemmeroids are veins located in the anus.

Hemmeroid causes: When the blood veins around your rectum and anus become swollen and inflamed. Most common reason behind the swelling and inflammation is higher than normal pressure, usually due to constipation and straining during defecation. Hemmeroids often develop during pregnancy because of the pressure the fetus exerts in the abdominal area, as well as the hormonal changes that cause the veins to enlarge. Also stress is another cause of hemoroid.

Hemmeroid symptoms: Are most commonly referred to anal itching, anal ache or pain, especially while sitting , appearance of bright red blood on toilet tissue or stool, pain during constipation and hard tender lumps near the anus.

Hemmeroid Diagnosis: To diagnose hemmeroid, the doctor will insert a thin tube-like instrument called an anoscope into the lower few inches of the rectum. To look for other sources of bleeding, the doctor may perform a colonoscopy - an examination of the inside of the colon. Or a sigmoidoscopy - an examination of the rectum and the last part of the colon.

Hemmeroid Surgery
hemmeroid surgery | surgery for hemmeroids picHemmeroid Surgery may become highly recommended and very necessary if the hemmeroids becomes very enlarged, protrude from the anus , bleed frequently, or contain blood clots, severe, chronic and all other hemmeroid treatments were unsuccessful. Your last resort for short.

A number of hemmeroid surgery methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of such hemmeroids. Common practitioners will apply hemmeroids surgery and other form of hemmeroid treatment in such worst cases. These hemmeroid surgery includes:

    • Hemmeroidectomy. This kind of hemmeroid surgery is commonly reserved for permanently prolapsed or protruding hemmmeroids, these are anal surgeries that are carried out under anesthesia and may require hospitalization after the process. When the hemmeroid becomes too large and is already protruding out of the anus all the time, it might be a right time and necessarily be cut off through a hemmeroids surgery process called hemmeroidectomy. In some cases it might not mean actual cutting off of pieces of hemmeroids tissue from the anal walls, but just merely dissecting the swollen hemmeroid to remove clotted blood and puss so that the hemmeroid can eventually "dry" up with the help of other medication such as ointments and suppositories. Internal hemmeroids usually can be destroyed by injecting them with a chemical substance, this is necessary if internal hemmeroids are prolapsed or very large.

    • Coagulation. This kind of hemmeroid surgery is considered best for hemmeroids that are still in its smaller shape. It involves the process of burning of hemeriods with the help of electric current or infrared light to burn off or shrivel the hemmeroid tissue. Continuous hemmeroid treatment results in shrinkage and disappearance of hemmeroids.

    • Rubber Band Ligation. Any qualified medical practitioner uses a rubber band to tie off the hemmeroids at the root so that they wither off and die. By its very nature, this hemmeroid surgery method of treatment cannot be applied in the early stages of the hemeroid since the hemmeroids are still tiny. It is best suited for hemmreoids that are already hanging out of the anus, or those that are seen and felt as big lumps outside the anal opening. This procedure is based on the fact that hemmeroid thrive on regular blood supply. Therefore, if the blood supply is cut off, by tying the vessels that carry blood to the lumpy hemmeroids, then this shortage and absence of this blood supply will see to it that the hemmeroid will "starve to death", but it takes a couple of weeks for the area to completely heal. This procedure is usually painful and may cause bleeding and because there are no nerve endings in the rectum, no anesthesia is necessary on this kind of hemmroid surgery.

    • Sclerotherapy. In sclerotherapy, a chemical solution or substance are injected around the blood vessel to shrink and destroy the hemmeroidal tissue.
Hemmeroid Surgery causes severe pain and new techniques are still being investigated for pain free removal of hemmeroids. Depending on the severity of your hemmeroid case, hemmeroid surgery may be performed by giving local or general anesthesia, the healing takes place after a period of 3 to 4 weeks. However one disadvantage reported by some patients who undergone surgery is that even hemmeroid surgeries cannot assure that hemmeroids won't return after the hemmeroid removal.

Therefore, for you to not experience the pain of hemmeroid surgery only to find out it will just reoccur, it is best for you to have it prevented before it becomes worst. Make it a habit to add fibrous foods and fruits in your daily diet. Increase your fluid intake, a minimum of 8 glasses a day will do to avoid constipation as one of the major cause of hemmeroid.

It is best recommend that hemmeroid surgery be used only as your last line of defense against hemmeroid because most hemmeriods can be treated and cured with self treatments and other home remedies. But for hemmeroids which did not respond to non-surgical treatments... hemmeroid surgery is advised.
