Symptoms Of Piles - Don't Make The Same Mistakes
Right now you may be inquiring whether you have hemorrhoids or not
, and that is unsurprising. With many symptoms, it can be hard to figure out whether you have piles or something else entirely. You'll know by the conclusion of this 'piles symptoms' article, whether you have haemorrhoids or not.
What you experience will depend on many factors (which you will read about in this piece.) Often people have just one symptom, but every so often they will have a few. You should be mindful, though, of what the individual symptoms mean.
It's also important to note that not all symptoms convey a clear message that you have haemorrhoids. In that, one symptom can imply other health related issues, and some can be more dangerous than others.
Constipation after all, might suggest that you're consuming the wrong foods. End of. Perhaps the problem lies in your stomach itself and you can't break down foods of one type. However, the one symptom that typically sends a clear message that you have hemorrhoids is anal discharge of blood.
See below, the most common haemorrhoidal symptoms:
1. itchiness.
2. The sensation of perching on an open fire - ouch!
3. Indefinable pain.
4. Discharge of mucus and/or blood
5. The impression of wide stools, otherwise known as constipation
6. Uncomfortable 'lumps' around your anus.
8. Feeling uncomfortable.
Internal Piles
When varicose veins expand through pressure they stick out into the anal canal. This is known as internal piles. But I should note that once they can be physically seen without tampering, it's known as external piles which I will get onto in just a second. This is ordinarily known as internal hemorrhoids.
Oftentimes, you won't be aware that you have an internal hemorrhoid. Knowing the various piles symptoms will put you in the best position to know whether there is a predicament. But you won't be able to sense or view the hemorrhoid itself.
At the beginning, these piles are not annoying. While you are unaware of internal piles, it means that the varicose vein is relatively free of rubbing. This rubbing can bring hemorrhoids to your attention because vein membrane's are terribly sensitive to touch.
Blood may start appearing once friction builds. A regular time people realise they have a serious case of hemorrhoids is when they've been to the toilet. If you find blood you ought to liase with your doctor.
External Piles
If internal piles are left untreated the case may intensify to external piles - when the vein becomes visible without contacting the infected region. This is typically referred to as piles (or prolapse) because it's when you become distressingly aware you have a problem.
So although pain can begin to set in at this point, it fades in comparison to piles that result from blood clots. This very painful condition is known as a thrombosed external hemorrhoid (blood clot). Ideally, you don't want to get the point of blood loss, but you ESPECIALLY don't want to get to the point of thrombosis!
How to Grade Haemorrhoids
Through grading the different stages of haemorrhoids it's possible to deduce how severe a case is. As with many health problems it's often not simply a point of whether you have it or not after all, you can have a 'good' cold and a 'bad' cold. When in the early stages of hemorrhoids it's best to figure out what symptoms you have, and bestow yourself with a grade.
This gives you the peace of mind so you're in control of the situation - a lot of stress can be cured on simply understanding the situation you are in.
In the event you go to see a physician (defintitely recommended) he/she will survey the problem area with a proctoscope (an endoscope for examining the rectum) where a determination can be made about:
-How dangerous your type is
-The kind of haemorrhoids you have - internal or external
-Finally, to fathom if an operation will be necessary
GRADES SYMPTOMS OF PILES
1st Degree:
Internal Piles
Bulging is not visually apparent to the eye and there is no pain
2nd Degree:
mild External Piles
Hangs down at times and 'springs' back at times of rest
Third Degree:
External Piles
Protrudes out but can be forced back within.
4th Degree:
Serious External Piles
Constantly seen but cannot be drove back inside
Ending
Symptoms will change from person to person as piles isn't always clearly defined by one or two symptoms independently.
As with all things health related, it's desirable to consult your doctor personally, and as presently as viable.
If you are in a lot of anguish you may have a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. As I have already said in this article, it means that you've experienced a blood clot.
Better being prudent rather than regretful. This situation might require an operation and if so, it should be less than 48 forty-eight hours after the acute pain begun.
Ultimately, you should'nt worry too much if you think your case is serious. It's important to take action but distress is another problem altogether.
