Hemorrhoids: Natural Remedies and Causes
30/1/12
Having hemorrhoids means in technical terms have hemorrhoids are inflamed, painful and sometimes bleeding, the term itself evokes the loss of blood.
So technically speaking hemorrhoids are today considered to be absolutely physiological vascular anatomical structures rich nerve innervations, participating actively in the ability to contain through the anal sphincter gases, liquids and feces in a voluntary and well-controlled.
It is now believed that hemorrhoids are not the disease itself but the result of a disease and this is already a step ahead. In Chinese medicine, every disease is the result of a hidden pathology that has originated. In Western medicine even if you know many etiologic factors and predisposing factors are still many diseases of unknown etiology.
In particular, the current of thought today no longer considers the hemorrhoids as pathological and the complete removal of the haemorrhoidal plexus as the most effective surgical treatment, but rather the opposite, namely the intervention seeks to limit the removal of the haemorrhoidal tissue to a minimum to not damage to the complicated system of faecal continence.
The technology has allowed us to observe that the anal mucosa of patients with prolapsed hemorrhoids and inflammation is often considered as the cause of inflammation. But I think it is legitimate to ask: inflammation of hemorrhoids, by inflating the vascular tissue and so-called haemorrhoidal tissue, can not itself cause a sliding of the anal mucosa?
The branches full of ripe fruit of a tree may not yield down?
The mechanical explanation that considers the mucosal prolapse as the main reason for this is not wrong, even piles of pregnant women and very constipated subjects have exactly this explanation, or upon push hard during a bowel movement and stool during the childbirth, the anal mucosa may transfer down causing inflammation of the haemorrhoidal tissue. But we also think that, and pregnancy and faecal masses are stagnant due to a compromised blood flow due to more direct mechanical compression on the venous structures.
Also the static position maintained at long can be considered a predisposing cause to the development of hemorrhoids. But we can consider as the only cause constipation? There are many patients who suffer from hemorrhoids and do not suffer from constipation.
In Chinese medicine, hemorrhoids are often a sign of internal heat, especially if they burn and bleed or itch and if they are accompanied by full and strong wrists. No coincidence that respond very well to herbal medicine focused on internal heat and stagnation of blood, itself a source of heat. In addition, constipation is often a sign of internal heat.
The fact that the adult population suffers from so much of this problem especially for men is unquestioned. Indeed I believe that the incidence of men who suffer from hemorrhoids occasionally or riccorrentemente is much higher than can be found on the texts. They are in fact many men who do not confess even to your doctor.
The men in some sense suffer from hemorrhoids at the same rate that women frequently suffer from cystitis or vaginitis. There are cases of women with hemorrhoids and men with cystitis and prostatitis, of course, we do not make extreme generalizations. What I meant is that the incidence of hemorrhoids in humans appears to have the same weight in the incidence of urogenital infections and inflammation in women.
If we consider the urogenital male than female we consider it outside and then in theory less sensitive to internal heat than women. Assuming that emotional conditions, constitutional and food may increase a condition of stagnation and internal heat could also extrapolate that this condition in humans may reflect more on the hemorrhoidal plexus, and on the apparatus in the female urogenital tract.
The treatment and prevention can not be limited to dietary recommendations that include only the presence of higher doses of fiber in your diet, preferably from fresh vegetable food, but also attention to hydration and especially the limitation of food strongly heating as meat, chili, chocolate, cheese and fermented sausages.
The physical movement intended as a source of movement of blood and energy in a broad sense, allows the 'heat elimination through the sweat and toxins but also of internal stresses, in this view becoming a treatment and prevention.
Education for contraction and relaxation of the anal muscles, if done regularly, it becomes an excellent therapeutic tool because it is the excessive spasm of the sphincter (a sign of visceral tension) that relaxation of the anal muscles can exacerbate local inflammation. Today we talk about rehabilitation of the pelvic floor, but remember that a whole section of pranayama yoga asanas and some involve the use of breathing together with the contraction of some visceral districts including the anal, using a technique called mula bandha.
In complicated cases, acupuncture is a great help because not only reduces the emotional strain, but the way the body somatization. Finally, the Chinese herbal medicine, when targeted and calibrated on the person, may in a few days off the heat and stasis in a much more effective and with fewer side effects than they can do therapy and steroid drugs flebostatici.
