There is always this relaxed mind that comes after defecation. Yea, I don't know for you but I always feel good anytime I defecate or urinate after a long period of being pressed.

I will definitely say that people who feels the same way may not know what others are passing through in order to defecate.
Well, the point I am trying to derive here is on the issue of people who have hemorrhoid.

Hemorrhoid is a vascular structure in an anal canal. They are known to help in controlling stool and can be termed a disease condition whenever they are inflamed or swollen.

Hemorrhoid which is also known as pile can be of two types which are internal and external hemorrhoid. The signs and symptoms of this hemorrhoid is directly dependent on the type of hemorrhoid involved.

Internal hemorrhoid is always painless but normally comes with a bright red rectal bleeding whenever you are defecating but for external hemorrhoid, it is always painful and causes the swelling of the external part of the anus and can lead to a dark oozing blood whenever it bleeds.

The cause of this disease is unknown but it is being believed that constipation, diarrhea and sitting on the toilet for a long period of time can lead to hemorrhoid.

Today in our society, people who suffers from hemorrhoid are increasing on daily bases. This disease is best avoided by doing somethings that can prevent you from developing them like taking a food that contains a lot of fibre.

Fibre containing food helps to soften the stool and therefore increases the bulk which prevents you from the straining that can lead to hemorrhoid.

Another way which we can prevent hemorrhoid is by the intake of a lot of water. Regular water intake can help to soften the stool and enable an easy passage of stool.
Getting a fibre supplement is another way which we can use to soften our stool. Reason being that a lot of us finds it very difficult to maintain the habit of eating food that contains a lot of fibre. Fibre supplement helps to do the work of a natural fibre by increasing the softness of stool for easy passage.

Considering all this factors that could help to prevents us from getting hemorrhoid, what are the things or what we should do whenever we turn out to have this disease.

Treatment

¶ hemorrhoid can be treated by the use of injection. This helps to shrink the hemorrhoid and prevents it from leading to other complications.

¶ another way which can as well use to treat hemorrhoids is the coagulation method. This is the use of laser and infrared light to shrink the hemorrhoid. This method has little or no complications and can be safe when it comes to hemorrhoid removal.

After you must have done or taking all this steps without any sign of improvement, the surgical method can now be deployed.

This is a method whereby hemorrhoid can be removed through surgery to avoid any further problem. This involves the removal of excessive tissues to prevent bleeding. This surgery are done by the use of local anesthetic which helps to prevents pains that might emanate during the course of the surgery.

Hemorrhoidectomy is an effective and reliable way of treating hemorrhoid and does not lead to any adverse effect or complications.

Conclusion

People who suffers from this disease are gradually increasing on daily bases in our environment. Though the causes of this disease is unknown but we can help ourselves in controlling some of the things that can lead to hemorrhoid development.

Lastly, taking a fibre containing food will help us to reduce the rate at which we come down with this disease.

Hemorrhoid can actually make someone uncomfortable if not treated on time.

It can as well lead to bleeding

Ohh I know this subject quite well. I experimentally test it on myself very regularly (maybe this is a piece of information you didn't want to know? ;) ). I hate it... :/

It is even more than uncomfortable. On the other hand, there are much worse issues in life... Let's be positive to conclude ;)
