Different types of Hemorrhoids

External Hemorrhoids

• These bulging veins develop under the skin right at the outside of the anal cavity.
  
  
• They can swell, turn purple and be extremely painful.
  
  

Internal Hemorrhoids

• These "piles" occur inside the bottom in the area known as the rectum, the very end bit of the colon.
  
  
• They are usually painless, but do tend to bleed and when they bleed, the blood is a very bright red color.
  
  

Prolapsed Hemorrhoids

• When one of the above falls out of the rectum, it will be accompanied by a mucous discharge and heavy bleeding.
  
  
• These hemorrhoids can become thrombosed (form clots within) and when this happens they are very very very painful.
  
  
  

What not to eat when you have Hemorrhoids?

Too Much Fiber

• Fiber is bulk forming and therefore creates larger stools which will aggravate the problem.

Laxatives

• While Laxatives prevent constipation they also promote loose stools which more often than not have a high acid content which will irritate the hemorrhoids.

Alcohol

• Alcohol is dehydrating which can lead to constipation which makes eliminating a stool more painful.
  
  

Spicy Foods

• Spicy foods can cause diarrhea which can be excruciatingly painful when your tummy has to work during a hemorrhoid flare up.
  
  

Iron Supplements

• Rather avoid them until hemorrhoid flare up has blown over.
  
  

Unripe Fruit

• Unripe fruit is difficult to digest and can contain certain constipating compounds until it has ripened.

How Can I Treat Hemorrhoids at Home?
Hemorrhoids Home Remedy No. 1

Ingredients

• 1 large bottle white Vaseline
• 1 cake of camphor
• 4 teaspoons white surgical spirits.

Method

• Grate the camphor finely into a saucepan.
• Add Vaseline and mix with the grated camphor.
• Melt over heat till the camphor has liquified.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Spoon mixture into a glass jar and add the 4 teaspoons of spirts.
