HEMORRHOIDS/ "PILE"/ "JEDI JEDI" are common and can affect both males and females. It is only when they swell and cause problems you realize they are there.
About half of people bleed, have pain or other symptoms by the time they are 50 years old. Women may get them during their pregnancy.

You have clumps of veins in and around your anus and lower rectum that can stretch with pressure. When they swell or bulge they are called hemorrhoids. they can be inside or just on the edge outside. They are usually not serious but can be unpleasant.

We are not sure exactly what causes hemorrhoids but you may be more likely to get them if you spend a lot of time in the toilet, perhaps because of diarrhea, or have a hard time going because you are constipated. Straining to lift heavy things might be to blame. They are more common as you get older, when you are pregnant. if your parents had them you may have them too.

One of the most common sign is painless bleeding, usually when you go to the bathroom. you might notice a little blood on the bowl of the toilet or toilet paper. your bottom may itch, hurt or have tiny buldges around your anus. Hemorrhoids aren't the only reason for these symptoms though. you should see your doctor to rule out other problems.

Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and look at your bottom for hemorrhoids. he may put a gloved finger inside to check for them. To get a closer look he may use a tube called an anoscope. Your doctor may also suggest tests such as a flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, to see inside your colon and rectum with a lighted bendable tube.

When a hemorrhoid from inside pushes outside or "prolapses", it can bleed, hurt and itch. It may go back inside on its own as the swelling goes down, or you can nudge it back. A blood clot that forms in hemorrhoid just under the skin outside is a thrombosis. It may get hard and sore and could bleed if it breaks. If the clot goes away, it may leave behind a little piece of skin called a skin tag that can bother you.

Food to prevent and relieve them: Soften your stool with fiber ; Eat more leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, beans and whole grain breads and cereals. Your doctor may suggest a fiber supplements. Add fiber to your diet slowly since too much too fast can lead to gas and bloating. Drink lots of water to make it easier to go to the bathroom and avoid constipation.

Try nonprescription creams and wipes or even a small ice pack; to ease to the pain and swelling. Soak in a bathtub filled with a few inches of warm water 2-3 times a day, or use special "sitz bath" pan that fits onto your toilet seat. then pat dry gently. An over the counter stool softner can make it easier to go.

When at-home remedies don't work, your doctor may put special rubber bands or rings around internal hemorrhoids to cut off the blood supply until they shrink. this process is ligation. He can use heat to get rid of internal hemorrhoids, known as coagulation. Your doctor could also inject a chemical into the swollen tissue to break it down. This is called sclerotherapy.

For very large hemorrhoids or those that just wont go away, a surgeon could cut out the swollen tissues. This surgery, called a hemorrhoidectomy, usually works but often has a long painful recovery. A newer procedure uses stables to hold hemorrhoids in place instead. Its less painful, and you'll get better faster.
