Hemorrhoid bleeding is mainly caused by insufficient moisture in the stool.
The stool has no moisture so it becomes hardened.
When the stool is hardened, you will feel that it is hard to get rid of it from the bowel system.
As you strain the abdominal muscle and push the stool out of your bowel system, it will scratch the tissue in your anus and cause it to be bleed.
The damaged tissue in the anal area will develop into a hemorrhoid.
Hemorrhoids can develop inside or outside of the anus.
Hemorrhoids that are developed inside the anal area are more serious than hemorrhoids that are developed outside of the anal area.
A prolapsed internal hemorrhoid is excruciatingly painful because it is exposed to pressure from the surrounding environment.
If you have prolapsed internal hemorrhoid, you have to go for a surgery as it can become infected.
A thrombosed hemorrhoid is an external hemorrhoid.
It is actually a hard lump on the anus.
Unlike a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid, it cannot be pushed back into the anus.
If you have a thrombosed hemorrhoid, you must undergo a small incision to have it removed.
Having sufficient fiber in your diet is important because it makes the stool become soft.
Drinking lots of water can also make the stool softer.
The digestive waste will be carried through along the digestive tract.
It will absorb the water you drink and will cause the digestive waste to be formed into a big soft bulk, which is easy to be defecated from the body.
If you eat lots of fiber, the food will pass through the digestive system and absorb the water.
By the time it reaches the colon, it will be bulky and soft and be easier to pass out from the body.
You should add fiber to your diet gradually.
It is not good to add fiber to your diet at a rapid rate because it can cause side effects such as diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
When you add fiber to your diet, you will experience flatulence.
However, the flatulence will subsided within 1 - 2 weeks.
Grains such as bran, rye, rice, corn, and beans are rich in fiber so you should add them to your diet.
Aside from grains, you should eat lots of vegetables and fruits including carrots, oranges, apricots, raisins, green beans, and lettuce.
You should go to the doctor and have a full checkup if the bleeding didn't stop.
It is not normal for a patient to keep on experience bleeding even after taking all the remedies.
You should discuss with your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing.
Sometimes, rectal bleeding is caused by other diseases that are much more serious such as inflammatory bowel disease, cancer etc.
If you are taking medication, you must let the doctor know.
There are a number of medications that can conflict with hemorrhoid medications including warfarin and prasugrel.
If you feel like fainting and have lost a lot of blood, you must seek immediate medical attention.
Hemorrhoids will not cause you to have pain in the abdomen.
If you have pain in the abdomen, you should inform the doctor.
