Pregnancy and Hemorrhoids
Many women during pregnancy are struggling with hemorrhoids, and the causes are different. As the pregnancy progresses often progress and problems with hemorrhoids. Fortunately, most symptoms are gone after childbirth. But it does not mean that during pregnancy you can not relieve the symptoms. Simple methods that we doctors call conservative such as diet with more fiber, stool regulation, proper anal hygiene and baths can reduce itching, burning and bleeding and alleviate pain. These methods can not harm the baby. Ambulatory methods (setting rubberband and coagulation of hemorrhoids) can be safely performed during pregnancy. But we are still trying to postpone them until after pregnancy. Not that this method endangered pregnancy but because the piles for the most part are withdrawn after pregnancy. Unfortunately, some pregnant women have huge discomfort and the conservative methods do not help. Then we consider coming for ligation or infrared coagulation.

Hemorrhoid Symptoms
Bleeding and falling during defecation are the most common symptoms, and if they drop out, without the possibility of repositioning, internal hemorrhoids can cause severe pain. The most common symptoms of hemorrhoids are itching, burning, pain, and problems in the bowel movement, spill. Bleeding hemorrhoids can go from those of smaller but frequent, which sometimes we do not pay attention to that can lead to severe anemia with all the symptoms of anemic diseases, to those intensive which can even lead to a large loss of blood and endanger life. The first symptom that is what the patient usually first notices is the bright red blood (artery) on paper, laundry, toilet seat, and it can sometimes be dramatic. In fact, abundant bleeding (injuries mucosal colon hard chair for example.) Usually leads the patient to a doctor. In the thrombosis hemorrhoid pain is what brings the patient to doctor.

Causes and Symptoms of Hemorrhoids
What are causes of hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are caused due to increase in blood flow to the hemorrhoid veins due to permanent openings shunts in the glow of the veins and arteries in the final part of the colon.Consequently, all conditions that increase pressure in the veins of the final part of the colon cause hemorrhoids, ie. Hemorrhoidal disease. As an example, we can take pregnancy, where the pressure of the uterus increases the resistance to swelling of blood from the hemorrhoidal vein, and the genetic weakness of the vein walls create ideal conditions for the formation of hemorrhoidal disease.
Factor s Contributing to the Occurrence of Hemorrhoids
The exact cause of the enlargement of hemorrhoids is unknown. Sitting upright multiplies the pressure in the rectal veins, which sometimes causes them to enlarge. Internal reason for the emergence of hemorrhoids disease is in hyperplasia (increase) of the internal venous online and weaknesses of the connective tissue of the wall vein. Congestion, long sitting on the toilet and obesity are factors that contribute to disease. Contributing factors to the occurrence of hemorrhoid problems are genetics, ie, hereditary factors, bad diet (too spicy, bitter, sour), job, climate, psychological problems, endocrine (hormonal) changes, some medications, infections, pregnancy, poor physical activity, constipation and straining when emptying, prolonged use of cleaners (laxatives).Hemorrhoids mostly occur as a result of bowl irregularity, long sitting, job, result in muscle strain. Given that the piles are essentially varicose veins, people who suffer from varicose veins have a genetic predisposition to suffer from hemorrhoids. In the colon there are many faecal and pathogenic bacteria that irritate the sores that occur in every bowel movement. These bacteria cause infection and inflammation of hemorrhoids.

Prevention of Hemorrhoids
A healthy diet with plenty of whole grains nutritional support, rich in cellulose and a sufficient amount of liquid, are usually the basis for prevention and control of hemorrhoidal disease, if the problem is already present. Regular physical activity and a balanced diet that excludes excessive intake of alcohol, fried, greasy or bitter foods act preventively on the disease. But if the genetic reason for the emergence of hemorrhoids, prevention often is not enough.
When is it necessary to consult a doctor?
Patients usually report to the doctor when the bleeding from hemorrhoids becomes quite abundant, and when the pain becomes almost intolerable. The barrier that exists in the minds of people leads to the problem not being revealed on time, ie not going to doctor until the disease has not progressed. When the patient contacts a doctor for help, it is very important for the doctor to recognize the disease, and to take measures of treatment, and if required by stage of disease it is necessary to instruct the patient's personal physician at the appropriate specialists.
