Causes of Hemorrhoids: What You Should Know
Hemorrhoids are a result of blood vessels in the rectal area responding to pressure. This pressure can stem from a variety of sources and usually will bring about pain and irritation. There are several reasons for hemorrhoids, and knowing what those reasons are can help direct you into making lifestyle changes which in turn will minimize the pain they cause.The main cause of hemorrhoids is constipation. This causes bowel movements to put strain on the rectal area, hence putting extra pressure on the blood vessels that will cause swelling and irritation. Strained bowel movements can cause bleeding from the blood vessels in the rectal area as well. So an important step in preventing hemorrhoids and all grief that comes with them is to prevent constipation.
Pregnancy is a close second as far as the leading cause of hemorrhoids. Pregnancy in as of its self can cause an increase in the pressure of the blood vessels in the rectal area. Changes in the hormones are known to make blood vessels work harder which can cause swelling and irritation. Hemorrhoids due to pregnancy are usually temporary, but can be an important consideration in becoming pregnant.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency is the third leading cause of hemorrhoids. This condition occurs when the blood vessels in the area of the rectum are weakened, causing pressure, swelling and irritation. The pressure can be magnified with sitting or standing for long periods. Exercise and smoking in concert with CVI can cause irritation of the rectal blood vessels for those that are overweight.
IBS (better known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome), can cause hemorrhoids, especially in cases when IBS is compounded by constipation. Then on the other side of the coin, diarrhea is also known to put extra pressure on the rectal blood vessels. And yet another medical condition, Portal Hypertension is an increase in the pressure of the blood vessels running from the intestines to the liver, can cause hemorrhoids due to the increased blood flow and pressure.
Any type of hemorrhoid can cause irritation, pain, and bleeding in the areas of the anus and rectum. It is important to identify the cause of your hemorrhoids for future preventative measures. One such all natural solution I’ve found is called the H Miracle system and you can find it HERE:
