The Symptoms of Hemorrhoids

By Heather-Jane Hunter

When you speak of hemorrhoids you will hear of bloody stools and an itchy anus being the main hemorrhoid symptoms.

The two most common groups of hemorrhoids are known as Internal and External hemorrhoids, each have their own hemorrhoid symptoms.

External Hemorrhoid Symptoms

Located outside the anal canal, the external hemorrhoid is the easier to find than the internal hemorrhoid. It is characterized by the clump of skin that is located near the opening of your anal canal. The more advanced type of this hemorrhoid is bright red, the lesser developed is blue. When walking or sitting down this may because you some pain and even lying down may be uncomfortable. The sizes of the hemorrhoid differ by its development from severe, where it can get as big as a golf ball and not so severe where it can be quite small.

Symptoms of Internal Hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are quite easy to identify and is usually characterized by bloody stools, toilet paper and bowl will have steaks of blood, mucus, itching, pain and constant need to go to the toilet. Most of these internal types of hemorrhoid sufferers may complain of the extreme itching on their anus.

Many times the itching is caused by internal hemorrhoids are because of the mucus that may seep out from the hemorrhoid. The feelings you get of needing to go to the toilet constantly is because the senses of the anal canal will view the hemorrhoid and think it is stool located there, when in reality you don't actually have to go to the bathroom at all.

Usually you will not experience as much pain as an internal hemorrhoid symptom unless the type you have is very severe. Earlier forms of internal hemorrhoids will not produce any pain; however the itching can be quite painful.

How can you Treat Hemorrhoids

When you are sure that the pain and discomfort you have is from hemorrhoids, you will want to search for some type of hemorrhoid cure as soon as possible. The failure to find an effective cure for hemorrhoids will lead to the more painful type of hemorrhoid.

You will find that by simply increasing your intake of fiber may help to heal the hemorrhoid symptoms. The eating of fruit, vegetables and fiber rich pastas and cereals will help to make stools softer and to keep down instances of aggravation and pain as well.

Actions you can take to help hemorrhoids:

1. When you go to your physician, on of the cures he may suggest is the use of creams. These creams will help to relieve the pain and decrease the swelling of your hemorrhoid. However as a rule, they will not actually rid you of hemorrhoids, and are only supposed to be used as a temporary pain reliever.

2. Another consideration for hemorrhoid sufferers in a more severe state of hemorrhoids is the surgery. For most people this is a last resort solution to the hemorrhoid symptoms. Surgery tends to be extremely painful and it takes quite a long time to recover from. You may have bed rest for up to 4 weeks. In addition it is very expensive to have this surgery, costing anywhere between $1000 to $1500 USD to have this procedure.

3. Natural remedies are another hemorrhoid cure that is the most recommended of the three. They work particularly well at not only ridding you of hemorrhoid symptoms but also are known for being a permanent cure for the condition of hemorrhoids. Many people will tell you about a program called H Miracle which has particularly great reviews and helped many thousands of people cure the hemorrhoid problems. Some have even noticed profound difference within 48 hours of trying the product. This treatment is also the least expensive of the products as it only costs a one time fee of $35 USD.
