Most women get them after giving birth, from straining.

  • To understand why hemorrhoids are common during pregnancy you need to understand what causes hemorrhoids.

    Hemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure put on the veins in the rectal area. If the woman has also weak veins (due to genetic predisposition or acid/alkaline imbalance) it is very much likely to develop hemorrhoids.

    It is good to treat hemorrhoids in early stage.

  • sorry to disappoint you but…yes you do…all they are is varicose veins, blood vessels that get swollen..most of the time they come during the second stage of labor..when pushing…they go away on their so no need to try and get rid of them..your already in enought pain carrying a baby!!! so suck the rest up haha
  • It varies from person to person, not everybody gets them. I think they are also hereditary.
  • Some women get them some don’t. I didn’t get them but mysister did. Why? Why is there air…
  • Yes. Most woman do get them during their pregnancy.
    Hemorrhoids are varicose veins (blood vessels that have become very swollen) that show up in the rectal area. They typically range from the size of a raisin to the size of a grape. They can be very itchy & painful. And sometimes even cause rectal bleeding, especially during a bowel movement.
    Pregnancy makes woman more prone to hemorroids, as well as to varicose veins in the legs and sometimes even in the vulva. The growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvis veins and the inferior vena cava, a large vein on the right side of the body that receives blood from the lower limbs. This can slow down the return of the blood from the lower half of your body, which increases the pressure on the veins below your uterus and causes them to become more dilated or swollen.
    Hope this helped!

  • How is a hemorrhoid test performed?
    You are absolutely old enough to ask your mother to have her step out for the actual exam – let her stay for the rest of the consultation though unless you’re too embarrassed talking in front of her too. She might have the legal right to force herself to stay against your will though, so hopefully your mother is nice enough to respect your privacy and won’t go that far.

    As for the exam, they will look at the outside of the anus and if he doesn’t see anything he will use lubrication on a gloved finger and examine internally. It’s really not as awful as you’d think, don’t let it turn into a mind trip, the doc’s a professional and you’ll be just fine.

    Most of the time they tell you to fix hemorrhoids by changing your diet. Drink the recommended 8 glasses of water (or more) per day religiously, to start. Watch your diet, read labels, and make sure you are eating a minimum of 30 grams of fiber every day. It takes effort for most people to do this! Otherwise, buy a fiber supplement like Metamucil products, etc.

    Stool softeners can be used when having a flare up, as can topical creams like Preparation H, or a hydrocortisone cream, or Tucks pads or plain generic witch hazel soaked pads.

    It might not be hemorrhoids – it could also be a fissure, which is like a little papercut in the tissue. It is also painful and bleeds.

    Good luck.

    He is going to stick his finger you know where.

    He’ll want someone there as a witness to his good behaviour.
    Expect him to ask your mother to be there.

    Of course, there will be nurses around too, it’s a doctors surgery.

  • Huge external hemorrhoid-it’s bleeding and hurts (even blocking) when I try to go to the bathroom. Besides
    There is no permanent cure for Hemorroids, the procedures are only temporary and does not entitle you to revert back to your old life style. If you revert back to your old life style, there is a ninety nine percent chance that you will suffer from this problem quite soon again.

    The best and the natural way to go about treating Hemorroids are controlling your life style and eating habits. First and foremost, follow a regular schedule for taking food. It is okay to have snacks between meals, what needs to be cared for is try to avoid fried foods or foods that have a lot of spices as additives. These can irritate your colon and your intestines. Food also tends to stick to the colon and other parts of the stomach, these needs to be flushed regularly. This too can be done the natural way; take foods with a lot of fiber content. Fruits, vegetables and greens are the best forms of foods that have fibers. The fiber is thicker on the skin than on the fleshy part of the fruit / vegetable. Take fruits and vegetables with the skin; you may have to clean it thoroughly before taking them.

    There are number of pre cooked foods that are available from super stores which are also rich in fiber content. Before dropping them in your shopping cart, read their content, this will give you an idea of their fiber content.
    It is advisable to have a fruit as a dessert after each meal. Drink lots of water and defecate in a regular pattern (time schedule). Following the above tips will keep Hemorroids at bay for a long time to come.

    These are standard procedures for treating Hemorroids; however there are a number of Chinese herbal / natural cures which make use of herbs / animal fat to cure Hemorroids. The authenticity of this medication has not been proved but word of mouth saying proves that they are also quite effective against Hemorroids.
