One of those topics we humans don’t like to discuss is hemorrhoids. Bruises, black eyes and broken bones can be sort of cool and we get great sympathy. But with hemorrhoids there is a natural tendency to be embarrassed. Thing is, hemorrhoids are painful and can lead to additional problems. At Healing Leaf LLC, we have developed a product called Totally Anal®. It is an all natural blend of healing herbs, rich oils and vitamins. It is earth friendly and contains no petroleum additives or artificial chemicals. Totally Anal® provides soothing, healing relief. But since hemorrhoids can be more serious, please read the following facts.
Hemorrhoid Overview
Hemorrhoids are enlarged, painful veins in your rectum. They develop from two different places. There are two sets of veins that drain the blood from the lower rectum and anus. The internal veins can become swollen to form internal hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids, unless they are severe, cannot be seen or felt, unlike external hemorrhoids.
Likewise, the external veins can swell to form external hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids can be seen around the outside of the anus and, many times, can be felt.
Hemorrhoid Causes
Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements as well as pregnancy. It is thought that these conditions lead to increased pressure in the hemorrhoid veins, thus causing them to swell. Liver disease can also cause increased pressure in the veins and also cause hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and have been estimated to occur in up to half the population by age 50 years.
Hemorrhoid Symptoms
The symptoms of hemorrhoids are fairly straightforward. The most common complaint from internal hemorrhoids is painless bleeding. You will see bright red blood on the outside of your stool, on the toilet paper, or dripping into the toilet. The bleeding usually does not last long. 
Hemorrhoids may lead to a condition called prolapsed hemorrhoids. This occurs when the internal hemorrhoids swell and then extend through the anus. You then can feel the hemorrhoids, at your anus, from the outside. Many times you can gently push the hemorrhoids back through the anus and solve the problem. If the hemorrhoids cannot be pushed back, then they may swell even more and become trapped outside of the anus.
External hemorrhoids may form a painful condition called thrombosed hemorrhoids.
Trust Healing Leaf LLC and Totally Anal® for occasional and minor hemorrhoids. If the problem persists, call your physician.
