Causes of hemorrhoids development
Hemorrhoids are a varicose enlargement of hemorrhoids. They constantly tolerate pressure and stretching, which leads to the formation of venous stasis and the appearance of seals, which results in hemorrhoids. Male hemorrhoids can develop against a backdrop of a variety of reasons, among which the following can be particularly highlighted:
- Strong physical overload associated with lifting weights( especially for weightlifters and loaders);
- Frequent constipation or diarrhea( occur usually with malnutrition and some pathologies of the digestive tract);
- Chronically unstable stool;
- Professional activity associated with inferiority( often hemorrhoids affect truck drivers, programmers, office workers, etc.);
- Excessive maintenance in the diet of men of alcoholic beverages and spicy dishes;
- Researchers have proven that the hereditary factor is also important, and if close male relatives had hemorrhoids, then the risk of its development increases to 80%;
- Even chronic bronchitis can provoke the appearance of hemorrhoids, because with constant cough intra-abdominal pressure increases;
- Tumors of different etiology, localized in the pelvic organs, can also lead to stagnation of blood and cause the development of hemorrhoids.
The course of the disease
Hemorrhoids in men occur in several stages. At the initial stage, venous nodules of small size appear on the intestinal mucosa. A man at the devastation of the intestine feels burning and strong itching. Gradually, the clinic is supplemented by soreness in the anus and the growth of hemorrhoids. The patient feels it during palpation, he feels that there is a foreign body in the anus, which is not in fact present.
In the first stage, the patient observes periodic anal bleeding and swelling of the hemorrhoids. If there is no treatment, inflammation of the nodes occurs. There comes the second stage, when there is an intensive growth of nodes, accompanied by prolapses, but the nodes are capable of spontaneous redirection.
At the third stage, the nodes can not recover themselves, they need to be returned to their places with their fingers. The final, fourth stage is characterized by the permanent presence of hemorrhoids in the fallen state.
Hemorrhoids are characterized by a chronic or acute course. The acute form is accompanied by intense soreness and discomfort in the anus. In the process of devastation of the intestine, when walking and in a sitting position, these painful sensations can intensify. The acute form often has concomitant complications such as purulent paraproctitis, necrosis of the anal wall tissue, severe bleeding, and blood infection.
The chronic form of hemorrhoids is characterized by a wavy course with periods of deterioration. If the treatment is not available, then during recurrences the chronic hemorrhoids take an acute form.
Methods of treatment of
At the initial stages of the disease, there may be quite a few adjustments to the diet and taking medications to improve digestion and intestinal functions. But how to treat hemorrhoids in men, if the pathology has developed quite seriously. Doctors say that today's treatment technologies can cope with the disease without the intervention of surgeons, although the treatment will last longer and somewhat more painful than in the operation.
With painful sensations and bleeding, usually manifested in the initial stages of the disease, patients are prescribed antihemorrhoidal medications with a fairly wide range of effects. To relieve soreness and itching, local treatment with suppositories or ointments is recommended. To soften the stool in the minimum doses prescribed laxatives.
Among the popular drugs with hemorrhoids, drugs like Relief, Proctosedilus, Proctoglivenola or Aurobin are leading. The use of these drugs leads to rapid elimination of soreness, removal of itching sensation, prevention of thrombosis.
In more advanced cases, the proctologist appoints more radical methods: sclerotherapy, cryodestruction, ring ligation, photocoagulation. If these minimally invasive methods of therapy do not give the expected effect, then the hemorrhoidal nodes are removed surgically. Even after the operation, the disease can return if the lifestyle of a man is not changed.
Prevention of
Any disorders of the male body are much easier to prevent than after a long course of therapy. To avoid having to face hemorrhoids in person, you need to take some measures to prevent this unpleasant disease. You should walk more often and allocate a little daily time for physical activity: jogging in the morning, fitness on cardio equipment, etc. This will help to avoid the formation of blood stasis and hemorrhoids.
Imagine a situation where a man works as a programmer and spends the whole day in front of a computer monitor, that is, he has a sedentary job. At the end of the day the man leaves work and, sitting in the car, goes home. Not only is his work sedentary, so even after her motor activity is completely absent. Such representatives of the strong half have a very high risk of developing hemorrhoids.
Men are encouraged to eat more fiber, vegetable and cereal dishes, drink non-carbonated mineral water, etc. Such a diet excludes constipation, which often leads to hemorrhoids. With improper feeding through the intestines pass solid masses of feces that put pressure on the veins and damage the mucosa, which contributes to the development of hemorrhoids.
