The causes of inflammation

The reason for the development of hemorrhoids is an enhanced blood flow and insufficient outflow, which leads to a stagnant process. Hemorrhoids develops due to:

• Hereditary predisposition. This is the main factor in the appearance of the problem. Inherited the disease is not transmitted, but the percentage of predisposition is present. Congenital weakness and vascular dysfunction in the rectum - these two factors explain the enhanced influx and a weak outflow, leading to an increase in cavernous veins. With a prolonged process, the walls of the vessels become thinner, and therefore, bleeding appears.
• Passive lifestyle. The next factor in the appearance of hemorrhoids is found among office workers, drivers - this is a sedentary lifestyle. As a result of this, the pressure on the vessels of the rectum increases. A long sitting position leads to easy heating, causing stagnation and increasing blood vessels. In addition, a frequent sitting position leads to venous insufficiency (veins in the rectum).
• Standing work, raising heavy objects. The lack of physical activity, as well as excessive overloads lead to the development of hemorrhoids. This applies to people who are required to stand for a long time - teachers, guards, hairdressers. Also, a hemorrhoid node falls out with the problem when raising heavy objects.
• Frequent constipation, diarrhea. A predisposition to hemorrhoids is present in people with chronic constipation. This is due to the fact that the feces are hardened, which, in turn, put pressure on the veins in the intestine. As a result of this, the blood supply to the cavernous veins worsens and hemorrhoidal nodes appear. Also, the cause of hemorrhoids with constipation is often excessive voltage during defecation, which presses on the vessels. Diarya irritates the mucous membrane of the rectum, as a result of which it is inflamed.
• Problems with nutrition, taking spices and alcohol. An important factor in the development of the disease is improper nutrition - it is acute food. It irritates the mucous membrane and activates the blood flow to the rectum. The deficiency of fiber negatively affects intestinal motility. Alcohol is a provocateur of hemorrhoids, because it expands the vessels. Even a small amount of alcohol can aggravate the situation.
• Pregnancy. Hemorrhoids during pregnancy appear very often. This is due to an increase in the pressure on the veins of the rectum. Strengthened attempts in the form of the formation of hemorrhoidal nodes can aggravate the situation.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids

The disease can be detected with such characteristic symptoms:

• Providing blood during defecation. In hemorrhoids, blood stagnation occurs, which leads to the expansion and thinning of the walls. Then the walls of the vessels are torn, blood is released through them. Bleeding occurs during the period of defecation or before it. If you saw blood on toilet paper, then this is a symptom of hemorrhoids. With severe bleeding, anemia may develop.
• Loss of hemorrhoids. In normal condition, the hemorrhoidal nodes are attached to the rectum using a fibrous-muscular frame. Changes in the body lead to their movement to the anus. As a result of physical exertion, habits of pushing and constipation, hemorrhoids can fall out.

There are other manifestations of hemorrhoids:

• pain during defecation, probing nodes, walking and sitting;
• when a feeling of a foreign body is present in the rectum;
• heaviness in the lower abdomen during physical exertion; itching and burning of the anal passage.

A variety of hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids differs in the location of the nodes:

• Interior. When the hemorrhoids are located above the anal ring, then this is almost not visible during examination. Feeling the rectum with a finger reveals the problem. This form is characterized by pain and blood release after defecation. Even the patient constantly wants to go to the toilet to empty the intestines, and the anal region itils. If the form of the disease is neglected, then the knot may fall out.
• Outer. This is when the knot is behind the anal ring and covered with the skin layer. With independent feeling, the patient can find nodes of different sizes himself. They hurt and increase in the amount of defecation. Sometimes nodes periodically swell and blue. This species is characterized by constant pain, even when sneezing and coughing. External hemorrhoids itch. This acute disease can go into a chronic form, so it needs to be treated.
