Hemorrhoids (US) or haemorrhoids (UK), also known as 'piles', is a disease that's not always simple to place.
Today, we'll be looking into piles symptoms.
Don't confuse someone else's experience with haemorrhoids as what you will experience.
There are many different forms that piles will present itself in - of which I will explain in this article.
Yet, you should know what every symptom means.
It's also good to know that symptoms can be ambiguous, as you will see in just a moment.
I.
E.
the sensation of constipation can imply you have a sub-level diet, and that's it.
Or your stomach acids may struggle to break down particular foods in your diet.
However, a discharge of blood will send a clear message that you are suffering from haemorrhoids.
See below, the most common haemorrhoidal symptoms: 1.
The feeling of itching.
2.
The perception of a close open fire.
3.
Indefinable pain.
4.
The unnatural leakage of blood/ mucus 5.
A feeling of constipation - trouble in using the toilet.
6.
Tumescence - A swelling on the anus.
8.
General irritation.
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 commonly known as internal hemorrhoids.
One differentiation between internal and external is that most often you won't be aware of internal hemorrhoids.
This is why it's recommended you know all of the piles symptoms - knowledge here, is power.
Without knowing the consequences of having piles it's possible to be completely unaware you have this problem and so never link the symptoms with what can be a very afflictive experience.
Initially, internal piles are not irritable and painful.
However, as the vein membrane is very sensitive to touch, a little rubbing can cause soreness and make the situation even worse.
This is when bleeding can begin.
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 contact your doctor.
External Piles In more severe cases the puffed up veins can emerge outside the anus and be visible to the human eye.
This is usually known as piles (or prolapse) because it's when you become distressingly aware you have a problem.
Bleeding is a dilemma when you get to this stage of haemorrhoids.
While this can be painful and annoying, it's very mild when compared to hemorrhoids resulting from blood clots - also known as a 'thrombosed external hemorrhoid'.
Grading Piles Through grading the different stages of haemorrhoids it's possible to identify how severe a case is.
Health is a convoluted subject, and unfortunately it's rarely simply a case of taking one drug/ approach and hey-presto.
Then there're the side-effects you have to contest with...
The symptoms you experience place you into a category, which then determines what your next course of action is.
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 can summon the might to go and see your GP (highly recommended) she or he will reach a determination upon using a proctoscope to scrutinise your condition.
Namely: -How acute the hemorrhoid(s) is/are -Whether you have internal or external hemorrhoids -And if surgical treatment is going to be required GRADES/ SYMPTOMS OF PILES 1st Degree: Internal Piles - Early stages of hemorrhoids - many people will be unaware they have hemorrhoids 2nd Degree: mild External Piles - Varicose vain can be seen now and then - commonly when active and at rest respectively.
Third Degree: External Piles - Stays outside but can be fed back through with little work Fourth Degree: Serious External Piles - The vein is hanging and is unable to return to it's former place Ending As hemorrhoids manifests in many ways it's recommended that you have a private consultation - so that your unique condition can be catered towards.
And with that I absolutely recommend you see your physician.
Are you in a lot of discomfort right now? If so you could have a thrombosed external hemorrhoid.
In any instance, a blood clot is bad news.
While in this instance it's probably not life and death, you most certainly want to prevent it from deteriorating further.
Don't take chances, play extra safe.
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.
Don't be too alarmed is you think your case maybe serious, there are always people worse off than you in this world.
