Causes Of Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids can occur at any age but are normally thought to be more common as people become older, affecting a quarter or half of the adult population. Men and women are equally susceptible. At a simple level, hemorrhoids develop because blood pressure in anorectal veins becomes too large for the walls to resist. Surprisingly, there is disagreement about why this occurs.
The most common explanation is to blame hydrostatic pressure, namely the pressure from the blood under the force of gravity. The anorectal veins, and the veins above them in the gastrointestinal tract, do not have any valves, which means that pressure in the veins can build up and possibly push through the walls at the weakest point. This is the same problem that occurs with varicose veins in the legs, for example, and hemorrhoids are commonly called varicose veins of the anus.
According to this explanation, straining during defaecation, brought on by constipation or holding one's breath, is a primary factor in causing hemorrhoids. Pressure in the hemorrhoidal veins can also be increased by high blood pressure, heavy lifting and pregnancy.
A second explanation is that pressure from the arteries in the anorectal region is transmitted to the veins through links between these two parts of the circulatory system. Other evidence to support this view is that the blood from hemorrhoids is bright red, characteristic of arterial bleeding. A study found that there was no connection between constipation and hemorrhoids and instead found a link with diarrhoea. They suggest that chronic contraction of the anal sphincter to avoid diarrhea may be the source of the problem.
A third explanation is that the primary cause of hemorrhoids is repeated irritation and inflammation of the anal mucosa, eventually weakening the veins and leading to the familiar set of problems. The assaults on the mucosa may be due to constipation, diarrhea or other factors.
What we call ameliorative approaches are methods of reducing the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids, which may also allow them to heal. Doctors usually recommend ameliorative approaches to patients, and in the case of first and second degree hemorrhoids this may be enough to obviate the need for medical intervention.
Daily warm sitz baths and topical anaesthetic creams can ease the pain. Constipation often aggravates hemorrhoids, both through straining and the defaecation of hard dry stools, so any method to soften stools can reduce pain and bleeding. High-fibre diets and drinking plenty of fluids are commonly recommended.
There is little discussion of any method for prevention or cure. The most common recommendation for prevention would be to obtain adequate fibre in the diet and to avoid straining for defaecation. Some discussions in the alternative health literature refer to nutritional approaches to hemorrhoids. But this is far from a guarantee of no hemorrhoids.
The effectiveness of medicinal plants for creating a cure for hemorrhoids and other ailments has been recognized and documented in historical texts. Important research on the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants, including the efficacy of a plant-based cure for hemorrhoids and other treatments, was conveniently dismissed with the advent of chemical drugs in the 1930s.
With the partnership of the Rockefeller dynasty in the US, the petrochemical/pharmaceutical industry became a major economic force. Herbal medicine such as the natural cure for hemorrhoids lost out to synthetic pharmaceutical drugs, leaving a legacy of tens of thousands dead from side effects.
The profits of the pharmaceutical industry almost took precedence over the health of the people. However, there is now a new renaissance in plant medicine, which we are excited to be part of. This is even more important because modern medicine has not been able to provide effective remedies for many ailments.
We have traveled the world identifying the best cultivators of medicinal plants for our hemorrhoids treatment. Because a wide spectrum of organic plant material is used in HemorrhoidCure, and our standards are so high, we cannot possibly rely on a single source of hemorrhoid cures. As a result, we have built solid relationships with organic farmers and distillers producing medicinal plants all over the world for cures for hemorrhoids.
Medicinal plants have been used for centuries and their therapeutic properties have been revealed during clinical observations. These properties have been validated through pharmacological tests on animals, isolated tissue samples and cell cultures, proving that medicinal plants provide outstanding results in healing the human system.
