Have you ever heard about hemorrhoids? Or some of you have ever got it? Do you know what hemorrhoids are?
Usually hemorrhoids occur as diarrhoea and also as result of occasionally. Other risk factors such bad defecation, abdominal tumor, consuming low-fiber food, pregnancy, advanced age, chronic constipation, chronic diarrheoea, acute diarrhoea, dehydration, and immobilization. They most commonly occur at three main points equidistant around the circumference of the anus. Hemorrhoids are seldom painful. Any pain is usually caused by a fissure of anal. And bleeding hemorrhoids is the main symptom of it.
There is two degree of hemorrhoid:
Hemorrhoids extend beyond the anus and make uncomfortable swelling but still can return spontaneously.
Hemorrhoids remain outside the anus and to return it back needs pressure.
Based on the degree, there are four classifications of hemorrhoid treatment.
1. No pharmacology. The main purpose is preventing the disease going worst by implementing a good way of defecation also known as bowel management program.
2. Pharmacology. To fix defecation and to make symptom disappear by consuming fiber supplement and also stool softener. If needed: corticosteroid to minimize the inflammation around hemorrhoidalis and the anus.
3. Minimal invasive to stop the disease going worst by doing minimal invasive such as sclerotherapy hemorrhoid or ligation hemorrhoid. This treatment is usually implemented if non pharmacology treatment and pharmacology treatment are failing.
4. Surgical operation. There are two functions. The first, to stop or retard the disease going worst. And the second to take the tissue
For the first and second degree of hemorrhoids still respond to bowel regulation using high fiber diet with fecal softening agent. If persistent bleeding happens, we can inject irritant fluid around the swollen cushion to make them shrivel up.
For the third degree often require hemorrhoidectomy (surgery) especially if they produce sever pain and further enlargement.
