What are hemorrhoids and how can I prevent them?

 

Hemorrhoids also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum or under the skin around the anus.
The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep your stools soft, so they pass easily. Preventing hemorrhoids is easier than hemorrhoid surgery recovery. To prevent hemorrhoids and reduce symptoms of hemorrhoids, follow these tips:
  • Eat high-fiber foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Doing so softens the stool and increases its bulk, which will help you avoid the straining that can cause hemorrhoids. Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
  • Drink plenty of fluids. Drink six to eight glasses of water and other liquids (not alcohol) each day to help keep stools soft.
  • Consider fiber supplements. Most people don’t get enough of the recommended amount of fiber — 20 to 30 grams a day — in their diet. Studies have shown that over-the-counter fiber supplements, such as psyllium (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel), improve overall symptoms and bleeding from hemorrhoids.
    If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, the supplements can cause or worsen constipation.
  • Don’t strain. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
  • Go as soon as you feel the urge. If you wait to pass a bowel movement and the urge goes away, your stool could dry out and be harder to pass.
  • Exercise. Stay active to help prevent constipation and to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight that might be contributing to your hemorrhoids.
  • Avoid long periods of sitting. Sitting too long, particularly on the toilet, can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus.

How successful is haemorrhoid surgery?

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anal canal. The treatment depends on the stage in which the disease is. If it is still in its early stages you can simply treat it with a high fibre diet and plenty of oral fluids. If it moves into later stages, surgery can be made via laser procedures, open surgery or even a stapler procedure. These surgeries, in general, are very successful. However, haemorrhoids have a tendency of reappearing. It is much better to focus on fixing haemorrhoids through natural methods. If you still wish to go for surgery then you should consult with specialists such as Dr Mehli Nazir to give yourself the best   haemorrhoids treatment   possible. DR.

What is Anal Fistula? It’s Treatment & Recovery from Surgery

  What Is An Anal Fistula? This a channel extending from the anal canal (usually) to the skin in the area surrounding the anal verge.  It is frequently a result of the formation of an anal gland infection which may manifest as an abscess. What Is The  Treatment For Anal Fistula ? Surgery is almost always needed as only very few fistulas heal by themselves.  The procedure of choice depends on: Type of Fistula Presence/ absence of infection/large abscess. In majority of cases a fistulotomy procedure alone suffice.  In this the tract is layed open along its entire length, and the wound so created is allowed to heal by scar tissue formation.  Occasionally in the case of a complex fistula a two stage procedure is warranted to achieve full healing without complications. Recovery From Surgery Can be done as a day procedure operation. Occasionally depending on the type of fistula and therefore selection of surgery, a few days...
