If you don’t know what hemorrhoids look like then they are essentially swollen masses that have the tendency to bleed if exposed to a heavy amount of pressure. These tissues and varicose veins located in the anus and rectum not only swell, but they cause pain as well as itching sensation that will make life very difficult for you unless you know how to treat it.
External hemorrhoids are easier to spot compared to internal ones due to their bulging fleshy appearance. A hemorrhoid occurs when the anal opening’s cushions, its hemorroidial walls are strained extensively, putting them in a state of thrombosis. When an external hemorrhoid turns bigger in size it is called a Thromboses external hemorrhoid. Thromboses hemorrhoid can give you excruciating pains. You can easily identify thromboses hemorrhoid if a large lump or a build-up is found around anus. You may face other symptoms like itching and irritation.
A lot of people nowadays who are new to hemorrhoid treatment are usually clueless and unable to manage the pain they feel because of the hemorrhoid’s inflammation. Thanks to the advancement of science to further understand the biological process, there are a lot of ways for you to treat and manage the pain. An example of this is the sitz bath. A sitz bath is just sitting on hot (but not too hot) water to relieve pain as well as reduce the overall size of your hemorrhoid. Fifteen to twenty minutes is sufficient for this treatment as too much time spent in hot water may produce undesirable results, often leading to skin irritation – which further creates discomfort for you.
