Hemorrhoid Relief

Hemorrhoids are caused by lower rectum blood vessels that are swollen. They are the most common causes of anal pathology, and are therefore are blamed for virtually all anal complaints by both medical professionals and patients. There is often confusion since the term hemorrhoid is used to men both the pathologic structures and normal anatomic structures. Hemorrhoids actually refer to the pathologic representation of hemorrhoidal venous cushions.

Hemorrhoidal venous cushions are the normal structures of the rectum and are always present unless a previous intervention has occurred. As a result of their tendency to prolapse and engorge, highly sensitive location, and rich vascular supply hemorrhoidal venous cushions are the usual causes of anal pathology. Symptoms can range from those that are very concerning like rectal bleeding to those that are only mildly bothersome.

Many patients are too embarrassed to seek treatment for hemorrhoids, although hemorrhoids are very commonly diagnosed in a clinical setting. Therefore, how often pathologic hemorrhoids are truly present is unknown. Also, it’s important to rule out more serious conditions like gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding prior to attributing the symptoms to hemorrhoids, while hemorrhoids are responsible for a many rectal complaints.

In a study of 198 doctors who practiced various specialties, it was determined that the rate of correct identification for the seven most common, pathologic benign anal conditions such as rectal prolapse that are fully thick, condyloma acuminata, thrombosed external hemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures, and anal abscesses was the lowest for hemorrhoidal conditions and was the greatest for rectal prolapse and condylomata. There was no correlation between the years of the doctor’s experience and the accuracy of the diagnosis. The researchers determined that the overall accuracy of the diagnoses among the doctors to be about 54 percent with the accuracy for all physicians being less than 50 percent and that for surgeons is about 70 percent.

Historically, the symptoms of hemorrhoids have been treated with the application of hot pokers, quackery, voodoo, incantations, and modifications to the patient’s diet. Another treatment for hemorrhoids that has been prescribed is molten lead. Although, there are several treatments for hemorrhoids that will provide temporary relief, the only permanent relief that can be provided is surgery to remove the hemorrhoids. The adverse effects of some treatments may have a direct effect on whether a patient will return for additional treatment for their hemorrhoids and relay their recurrent or persistent symptoms to the doctor.
