How the Hemeroids Came To Be?

The embarrassing tissue protrusions that are found in a rectal area of a patient have been viewed as the varicose veins of the rectum. The superior hemmorhoidal actually contains no veins at all but are very susceptible to over distention.

Further studies have documented that hemeroids are composed of spongy vascular tissue with many direct arteriovenous connections.

The external hemeroids are the classic “skin tag” made up of small lumps of fibrous tissue and folds of anal skin that have been stretch by bulging of the hemeroids.

They hardly ever bleed and rarely cause pain except when they became engorged and edematous as a result of thrombosis or subcutaneous rupture of an external vein with hematoma formation. Vigorous exertions of work or exercise are the main cause of thrombosed external hemorrhoid also known as blood clot formation inside. The intense pain felt is usually caused by the presence of multiple nerve endings during thrombosis.

Internal hemeroids are neither directly apparent nor evident to the person unless they become so huge that they protrude from inside out of the anus. Internal hemeroids are the usual causes of painless rectal bleeding. The person may see a blood spotting on a toilet paper and sporadically  cause episodes of spurts of blood that may cause straining of stool. Although the blood losses are relatively small, it can run down iron reserves if it continues for a long period of time.

Risk factors of having Hemeroids

Surprisingly 5 out of 10 people by the age of fifty have hemeroids. They particularly affect the general population young and old. Other conditions associated with the development or aggravation of hemeroids includes:

  • Pregnancy – is clearly documented as the aggravating condition for hemeroids.
  • Obesity
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • Chronic liver disease
  • A sedentary occupation that involves prolonged periods of sitting or standing also is implicated, although the exact mechanism is not known.

And that’s how Hemeroids came to be.
