If one morning, you see stool with blood, don’t conclude right away that it is a case of bleeding hemorrhoids. Don’t panic because it may not be hemorrhoids at all. Don’t panic because you might only worsen your condition.
Investigating What’s the Problem
You need to investigate first especially if it is the first time. It can be that you ate something that has caused your stool to be hard and difficult to release. If this is the case, you just need to be cautious about that particular food and you can stop worrying.
Or, it could be that you have been sitting too long like those people who are glued to the internet for hours in a day. Sitting too long can cause pressure at the rectal lining and then cause wounds.
When to Suspect “It Can Be Hemorrhoids”
When the problem does not persist nor takes place periodically, maybe it is not hemorrhoids. But if it does, then you should rush immediately to your GP because it might lead to infection or the bleeding is indicative of something more serious happening inside.
Hemorrhoids usually come with symptoms such as itching of the anus or the parts above it. Painful bowel movement is another. If you are experiencing these symptoms, then it can be just a case of hemorrhoids.
You will undergo a series of tests to determine if it is a case of hemorrhoids or worse, the bleeding is coming from one of your digestive organs, liver or the spleen.
Bleeding Hemorrhoids Isn’t Fatal
Hemorrhoids are not deadly and the bleeding can be controlled or made not to happen again. All that it requires is for you to make necessary changes in your life.
First, there are hemorrhoid treatments you can use such as applying hemorrhoid creams, pills, and ointments to soothe the affected area. There are also medicinal herbs which are prepared to enhance fast healing of the wound inside. For worst cases of hemorrhoids, surgeries are employed.
It is for your doctor to determine which the most appropriate treatment for you is. However, you can do something on your own without in any way hampering your doctor’s treatment. For example, you may want to employ the powerful healing benefits of yoga and acupuncture.
Be Cautious about the Food that You Eat
Whether you are suffering from bleeding hemorrhoids or it is not that serious, you should be very careful now of the things that you put in your mouth. First avoid alcohol, coffee and fatty foods. They cause the stomach to produce a lot of acidic substances that can harm the delicate digestive linings.
Increase your consumption of fruits and green leafy vegetables. They contain a lot of moisture and fiber, which are essential in making your stool easier to release. Decrease your meat intake. Meat also causes acid formation in the stomach and they rot more easily than plant foods.
Drink plenty of water. Don’t ever let your body dehydrate especially during hot days.
Exercise regularly.
The truth is: what you do to your body spells out the kind of health condition that you have.
