If you're one of the many people suffering from hemroids (also called piles) who are looking for some general information as well as good advice for effective, natural bleeding hemroids treatment and bleeding hemroids prevention, then read on.
Hemroids are a very common condition, especially as you begin to get older, and are nothing to be embarrassed about. Almost half of the U.S. population develops hemroids by the time they're 50 years old, in fact. I first discovered the joy of external bleeding hemroids (sarcastic, of course) about four years ago and that has prompted me to put together this bleeding hemroids information page. Further down the page, after the hemroids info., you can read what treatments keep hemroids painless and nearly unnoticeable.
The term hemroids refers to a condition, which is similar to varicose veins, in which the veins around the lower rectum or anus are either swollen or inflamed (usually both).
Hemroids commonly result from heavily exerting to move stool. Some other common factors that contribute to hemroids development are: sitting for too long, pregnancy, chronic constipation or diarrhea, age, and anal intercourse.
Hemroids can be either: external (under the skin around the anus) or internal (inside the anus).

And, of course, if you're not sure that it is a bleeding hemroid that is causing your bleeding, go see your doctor.
External hemroids-
These types of hemroids are usually visible, and symptoms of external hemroids include either painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus, which results when a blood clot forms. This one particular type of external hemroid is called a thrombosed external hemroid.
Internal hemroids-
The most noticeable symptom of internal bleeding hemroids is bright red blood covering the stool, the toilet paper, or the toilet bowl. Also, an internal hemroid may also protrude through the anus until it is outside of the body, becoming irritated and painful. This internal hemroids condition is known as a protruding hemroid.
Pregnancy hemroids-
The pressure of the fetus in the woman's abdomen, coupled with changes in hormone levels, causes the hemroid vessels to enlarge, and during actual childbirth, the pressure on these vessels keeps increasing. Pregnancy hemroids for most women, however, are a temporary problem. This does not mean, though, that a pregnant woman should feel compelled to ignore her hemroids discomfort. The symptoms for pregnancy bleeding hemroids are identical to those of normal internal or external hemroids and should be treated accordingly while you have the hemroids.
In addition, excessive cleaning, rubbing, or straining of the anus may cause irritation with bleeding and/or itching. Be sure that you're not causing a vicious cycle of bleeding hemroids recurrence and symptoms.
Prevention and treatment of bleeding hemroids:
Hemroids, not counting the discomfort of course, are not very serious problems. Often treatment can be accomplished through a few very simple and minor procedures.
