Increased pressure in the rectal veins leads to dilated or bulging veins of the rectum and anus which is called hemorrhoids and is commonly known as piles. This article will give you information about how to heal hemorrhoids naturally.
Hemorrhoid or piles is noticed in nearly 50-75% Americans. Excessive pressure on the walls of the rectum leads to enlarged hemorrhoidal blood vessels and weakened muscles that support these vessels. Due to the weakened muscles, when these vessels lining the anus lose their support, they form sac like protrusions. The protrusions inside the rectal canal are referred to as internal hemorrhoids while protrusions under the skin surrounding the anus are called external hemorrhoids. If the blood from an external hemorrhoid clots to form a thrombus, it is known as thrombosed external hemorrhoid. When the internal hemorrhoid is pushed out of the anus, it is called prolapsed hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoids become more common with the advent of age. Young people and pregnant women can also develop hemorrhoidal problems. Let us have a look at the causes and symptoms of hemorrhoids, before discussing about how to heal hemorrhoids.
