subject: Hemorrhoids Symptoms - Quit Wasting Time Now [print this page] Hemorrhoids, also called piles, is an embarrassing concern that may not be quick to identify as you believe. You'll know by the completion of this 'piles symptoms' article, whether you have piles or not.
The symptoms you have will vary, some folks will have a few symptoms (which I explain shortly) and others will have just one. You should be aware, though, of what the individual symptoms mean.
It's also good to recognise that symptoms can be unclear, as you will see in just a moment.
I.E. the sensation of constipation can imply you have a sub-par diet, and that's all. Maybe the problem lies in your stomach itself and you can't break down foods of one type. Now the familiar symptom - anal discharge of blood - is one that zones in on the problem at hand. If you see blood in the lavatory you know you have hemorrhoids.
See below, the most common haemorrhoidal symptoms:
1. Itching.
2. The sensation of perching on an open fire - ouch!
3. Simply pain.
4. Anal leakage - blood and/or mucus.
5. The sensation of big stools, otherwise known as constipation
6. Tumescence - A puffiness on the anus.
8. Irritation in the anal canal and perianal region.
Internal Piles
When varicose veins inflate 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 referred to as internal haemorrhoids.
internal haemorrhoids can linger in the background of your daily life BEFORE you become aware of their presence. Knowing the various piles symptoms will put you in the best position to know whether there is a concern. When you can't feel the actual problem, the only way to determine you have piles is to understand the effects of a 'currently' nameless problem.
At the get-go, these piles are not bothersome. Internal piles can change, however, when there is friction of any kind on the sensitve veins. This, of course, is when you become aware.
A small amount of friction can, and will, direct to blood loss. A regular time people realise they have a severe case of piles is when they've been to the toilet. If you find blood you should liase with your doctor.
External Piles
Of course, I advise you don't leave a hemorrhoid untreated and this is why; internal piles, after a time, becomes external piles and this is when the swollen vein lapses to the stage where you can see it. This is commonly referred to as piles (or prolapse) because it's when you become distressingly aware you have a problem.
When you are this far into the condition it's very likely that you'll have an experience of bleeding.
Bleeding is particularly severe, but there is one more elevation to piles that you want to be aware of. The condition known as a thrombosed external hemorrhoid (blood clot). For your sake you should take the steps to curing hemorrhoids before it becomes that harmful.
How to Grade Piles
Piles symptoms are separated up into grades. This makes it possible to see what you should do next. As I'm sure you will concur, when it comes to health problems it's not as straight forward as getting a bulls-eye on the concern at hand. Through coupling the grades with your personal case you'll recognize what you have to do next.
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.
If you see your GP, which is something I advocate, he or she will check you over with a proctoscope. For those of you who love gathering knowledge, a proctoscope is an endoscope for inspecting the rectum. Your doctor will determine:
-How dangerous your case is
-Whether you have internal or external piles
-Finally, to fathom if an operation will be required
GRADESSYMPTOMS OF HEMORRHOIDS
1st Degree:
Internal Piles
First stages of hemorrhoids - many people will be unaware they have got hemorrhoids
Second Degree:
mild External Piles
Protrudes out when you are active and retracts back inside when you are laying down
Third Degree:
External Piles
Protrudes out but can be pushed back within.
4th Degree:
Severe External Piles
Permanently seen but cannot be drove back inside
Last Word
As hemorrhoids manifests in many ways it's recommended that you have a private consultation - so that your unique condition can be catered towards.
If you are the one with hemorrhoids and you're in agony, it's entirely possible that you have a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. In any instance, a blood clot is bad news. While in this event it's probably not life and death, you most certainly want to stop it from deteriorating further.
Lean more towards being prudent than regretful. Depending on how long you've been enduring utmost pain (reading articles on the internet probably wouldn't be your first port of call if you was in this amount of pain) it's generally preferred that surgery takes place no more that 48 hours after a thrombosed external hemorrhoid.
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.
