Hemorrhoids – Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment

Categories: | July 30th, 2011 | by admin | no comments

Many people have hemorrhoids but they are often so small that they present no symptoms.  However, others suffer from considerable pain and discomfort.
 
Hemorrhoids are clusters of veins in the anus, just under the membrane that lines the lowest part of the rectum and anus. While they can produce several uncomfortable symptoms for their sufferers, they are never dangerous nor life threatening.  Much of the pain and discomfort is from the so called piles which may appear at the opening of the anal passage after you have been straining when having a bowel movement. These piles can resemble soft lumps in bunches. There is also a mucus covering to these bunches which can become damaged easily from a bowel movement and even bleed. If these piles or bunches become hard and even start protruding from the anus, then we say that a thrombosis has occurred. The sufferer may then experience severe pain and discomfort. A particularly unpleasant symptom of hemorrhoids is the itchiness. You will be very tempted to scratch but this will only make the symptoms even worse.

Hemorrhoids have a very long history and are well documented through the centuries because they are so common. The earliest reference dates back to 2250 BC when King Hammurabi of Babylon described the symptoms. Throughout time, various herbal and other remedies have been used.For example between 41 and 68 AD, Aloe Vera was the herb of choice and a hundred years later, the Roman physician Galen used ointment, laxatives and leeches. He also wrote about using a thread to tie off piles and cause them to shrivel up.

In more modern times, Bozzini used an aluminum tube in 1806 to see the genitourinary tract while 30 years later, St Marks Hospital was founded in London to provide treatments for hemorrhoids. 1888 saw the expansion of surgical procedures for hemorrhoids into a combination of excision and ligation. Hemorrhoidectomy was introduced there in 1935 while J. Barron developed an out-patient procedure in 1963 using rubber bands to tie up hemorrhoids. In 1970, cryotherapy, infrared coagulation, diathermy and laser cauteries were all introduced.The very latest procedure known as stapled hemorrhoidectomy was first presented in Italy by A. Longo in 1997.

In the US, the occurrence of hemorrhoids is estimated at 4.4% in the general population with a higher incidence amongst those who are white, from higher socioeconomic background, and from rural areas. It is thought that hemorrhoids occur equally between men and women. External hemorrhoids are known to occur more commonly in young and middle aged adults. The prevalence of hemorrhoids increases with age, so it is likely that your parents have had hemorrhoids, with a peak in those aged between 45 to 65 years. There is an increase in hemorrhoids in pregnant women which is possibly as a result of the direct pressure on the rectal veins and from giving birth.  For most pregnant women, hemorrhoids are only a temporary problem. It is therefore estimated that some 50% of all adults will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point in their life with more than 1 million new cases each year in the US alone.

If you think you are suffering from hemorrhoids, it is wise to visit your doctor for a definite diagnosis which he will conduct by a visual examination of the anus, followed by an internal examination during which he carefully inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into the anus. Your doctor might also use an anoscope, which is a small and hollow lighted tube, which allows him to see the affected area. A further examination can be done using a sigmoidscope or colonoscope which is a flexible instrument that allows inspection of the colon. This thorough evaluation is important when there is a history of bleeding from the rectum or there is blood in the stool because the presence of blood may be a symptom of other digestive diseases, and your doctor will need to rule out any other causes before confirming a diagnosis of hemorrhoids. Once a diagnosis has been made, your doctor will advise you on the best course of treatment.

Such treatment is often a combination of a change in your habits or lifestyle together with either over-the-counter medications or natural treatments. If you can persevere with this combination, the chances are high that you can successfully treat your hemorrhoid condition. Unfortunately, when hemorrhoids are not treated in the early stages and lifestyle changes are not adopted, more extensive hemorrhoid treatment may become necessary.

Prevention of hemorrhoids is obviously very important. If you have never suffered from hemorrhoids, ensure a healthy lifestyle to keep it that way. If you have already been treated for hemorrhoids, there is a tendency for them to recur if you do not change your habits. Apart from pregnancy, the main causes of hemorrhoids are a low bulk diet, straining on the toilet when making a bowel movement, sitting for long periods or being constipated. Here are a few ways that you can prevent the recurrence of your hemorrhoid condition:

  • Drinking lots of liquids especially water while eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables and fiber to avoid constipation.
  • Adding fruits to your diet and these ones which are especially helpful for preventing and relieving hemorrhoids – pure fruit juice with no additives, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe melons, red and black currants, pomegranate juice, oranges, bananas and papayas.
  • Taking regular exercise.
  • Being careful not to push or strain when having a bowel movement. Don't sit on the toilet for longer than a couple of minutes, don't read and avoid holding your breath. The squatting position is the best.
  • Avoiding sitting or standing for too long at a time. Change your position frequently.


Hemorrhoids can be a small or a huge problem for many but with early treatment, a change in lifestyle and habits and keeping that change, hemorrhoids can become history in your life. Make sure you pass on the same habits to your children too so that they can avoid hemorrhoids when they are adults.

Remove Moles

Categories: | July 30th, 2011 | by admin | no comments

Most of us have a mole or two and most of them are concealed by clothing. But if you are like most people who have unsightly moles, at some point, you probably have thought about… What is the best way to remove moles?

We know there are various ways to do away with these small brownish growths or marks that we could have had since birth, as many people do. But still, do we really know the best way of getting rid of moles? Do I have to get surgery or some other drastic measure or are there easier method of getting rid of moles for good.

Moles tend to be small dark growths on the skin (anywhere from a dot to more than an inch diameter) that develop as a result of an accumulation of too many melanocytes. Some methods used to remove moles have high chances of skin infections and allergies or can even lead to nerve damage. So removing moles does come with some risked depending on the method

Some people live their whole lives with moles and they never cause a problem. But sometimes, moles or skin tags rub against your clothing and may be painful. Most people who do experience any kind of pain want to take care of the problem and have the moles removed.

Before you begin to you need to understand the risks and hazards of surgery and over-the-counter creams. Or, like many people, you can choose to use natural methods to remove moles and avoid all the typical risks.

Natural methods to remove moles could involve anything form Honey to Garlic. Apple Cider Vinegar or Pineapple Juice. And many others. Surgery to remove moles is not recommended… Why go through the cost and unwanted risk, involved in ANY surgery. Plus, chances are you will have a scar!

Besides all the natural methods mentioned above… The best way to get rid of moles is freezing them. Yes, it takes about 5 minutes to have the procedure done and in about a week the mole just flakes off your skin — completely gone!

I think they  sell its for this kind of procedure, but a trip to the local dermatologist is pretty inexpensive for a method like this and is the safer way to go. The only side-effect, if you can even call it that, is a small white spot where the used to be, that will also disappear and return to your normal skin color.

When you finally decide to get rid of those unsightly moles, a trip to the doctor or dermatologist is always a good idea. They can give your whole body a look and see if any of those moles look suspicious and are maybe something more serious.

Prostate Massage For Prostate Health

Categories: | July 26th, 2011 | by admin | no comments

The prostate is a small gland present in men which is located just below the bladder.  As men grow older, the prostate gland slowly grows bigger and becomes enlarged. As the prostate gets bigger, it may apply pressure on the urethra and cause the flow of urine to be slower and less forceful. However, if the symptoms are mild, it is advised to wait and watch. Generally, most men report an improvement in the prostate gland.

Men who wish to opt for a natural treatment for the prostate should make changes to their diet and lifestyle. A study has shown that supplementation with lycopene, vitamin D, and zinc may reduce the risk of an enlarged prostate. Also, a diet that has low fat and red meat composition and contains higher fractions of protein and vegetable are also at a lower risk of having an enlarged prostate. Patients are also required to reduce the alcohol consumption. In some countries, herbs such as saw palmetto are also recommended for shrinking the prostate. For shrinking the prostate, the patient is also advised to soak in a warm bath or hot tub for 20 minutes two or three times per day. The heat of the water will penetrate the prostate to reduce swelling and promote healing. This helps shrink the prostate gland.

An effective natural treatment called prostate massage can be a very beneficial way to improve prostate health for many men. Prostate massage has been used for hundreds of years and many men turn to this therapy as a natural way to help with their prostate problems. Many men can master the basic prostate massage techniques needed to be able to perform this therapy in as little as 30 minutes.

Consider using prostate massage as a natural solution for better prostate health.

Thyroid Disorders

Categories: | July 26th, 2011 | by admin | no comments

Thyroid disorders can affect both men and women. The effects of these disorders differ in men and women. There are tests that your doctor can do to see if your thyroid is functioning normally. Once tests are done you can work with your doctor to find the proper way to treat your condition. Often you doctor will prescribe medication to help to control your thyroid disorder symptoms, in most cases this will involve some kind of synthetic thyroid hormone being prescribed.


Some of the most common signs that you might have a thyroid condition are as follows:

  • Muscle and Joint Pains Aches and pains in muscles and joints, particularly a tendency to develop carpal tunnel syndrome in the arms/hands, and tarsal tunnel in the legs, these can all be symptoms of undiagnosed thyroid problems, most typically hypothyroidism (low thyroid function).
  • Neck Discomfort/Enlargement A feeling of swelling in the neck, discomfort with turtlenecks or neckties, a hoarse voice, or a visibly enlarged thyroid can also be symptoms of thyroid disease.
  • Hair / Skin Changes Hair and skin are particularly vulnerable to thyroid conditions. With hypothyroidism, hair frequently becomes coarse and dry, breaking, brittle, and it falls out easily. Skin can become coarse, thick, dry, scaly. In hypothyroidism, there is often an unusual loss of hair in the outer edge of the eyebrow. With hyperthyroidism, severe hair loss can also occur, and skin can become fragile and thin.
  • Bowel Problems Severe or long-term constipation is frequently associated with hypothyroidism, while diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome is associated with hyperthyroidism.
  • Menstrual Irregularities and Fertility Problems Heavier, more frequent, more painful periods are often associated with hypothyroidism, and shorter, lighter, or infrequent menstruation can be associated with hyperthyroidism. Infertility can also be associated with undiagnosed thyroid conditions.
  • Fatigue Feeling exhausted when you wake up, feeling as if 8 or 10 hours of sleep a night is insufficient, or being unable to function a full day without a nap can be signs of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
  • Depression and Anxiety Depression or anxiety can be symptoms of thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is most typically associated with depression, while hyperthyroidism is more commonly associated with anxiety or panic attacks. Depression that does not respond to anti-depressants may also be a sign of an undiagnosed thyroid disorder.
  • Weight Changes You may be gaining weight but eating and working out the same as always, or you're losing weight, and eating the same amount of food as usual — or even eating more than normal.

Whether you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism it can be controlled with medications, diet and supplements.
 
Thyroid Issues in Men
Having hypothyroidism can cause lethargy and depression in men as well as a decreased libido. It may also cause your muscles to be weaker than they appear. Hyperthyroidism can lead to muscle wasting and weakness, especially in thighs and upper arms. It can also upset the balance between testosterone and the female sex hormone in the body. Some men experience breast tenderness or enlargement and difficulty with erections.


Thyroid cancer is rare but if there are nodules in the thyroid gland, particularly in men they are more likely to be cancerous.


If you are experiencing any of these problems make sure that you visit doctor for a thorough examination your thyroid and check your TSH levels with a blood test.
 
Thyroid Problems in Women
It is a well documented fact that more women than men suffer from hypothyroidism, and many more women than men with thyroid issues also have problems with weight gain. Women experience low thyroid and weight gain primarily because:

  • Women spend much of their lives dieting, usually in a yo-yo cycle of feasting and then fasting. This undermines your metabolism and decreases your metabolic rate, a compounding factor for the thyroid, especially during perimenopause.
  • Women tend to internalize stress, which affects their adrenal, brain, and thyroid function, resulting in increased cravings for sweets and simple carbs to provide instant energy and feel-good hormones.
  • Women experience monthly hormonal fluctuations that affect their biochemistry.

Hyperthyroidism can occur at any age but it is more likely to occur after the age of 15, and more so to those in their 30's and 40's. Although the exact cause is not known it is believed that your immune system does not work properly and the body produces a substance that makes more hormone than it needs. Instead of protecting the body's tissue, antibodies produced in the body's immune system attack tissue and as a result cause the thyroid gland to overproduce.


A few signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism are:

  • weight loss with increased appetite
  • anxiety
  • tiredness
  • muscle weakness
  • enlarged thyroid
  • decreased menstrual flow and irregular cycles

If you are having any of these symptoms you should see your doctor and have a test done to measure how your thyroid is functioning.

A Look at Ruptured Ovarian Cysts

Categories: | July 22nd, 2011 | by admin | no comments

When you get an ovarian cyst most of the time it doesn't cause any symptoms or very little symptoms, but there are times when a cyst can rupture and along with it comes signs that there is something wrong. When an ovarian cyst ruptures, the cyst basically breaks open. Depending on the type of cyst, it can cause basically a big eruption or a small little break that leaks fluid out over a longer period of time. Here is what you should know about ruptured ovarian cysts.

Most of the time you will get ruptured ovarian cyst symptoms that include sharp pains in the lower abdomen or lower back, enlarged or bloated abdomen, tenderness in the pelvic area, spotting during your menstrual cycle, and possibly nausea. Usually the easiest way to tell that a cyst on your ovaries has ruptured is that the pain goes from a dull, aching pain to being very sharp and painful. This pain may only last a short period of time as some women only suffer from it for a few hours while others may feel it for 24-36 hours.

If you suspect that you have a ruptured ovarian cyst, you should call your doctor right away. There are times when the cyst can cause internal damage or you can be internally bleeding due to the rupture. Your doctor will most likely want to check you out right away or will send you to an emergency room. There you will get an ultrasound done to see if you have a cyst on your ovaries and see if it has burst or not.

If at any time you feel dizzy or you faint, you need to seek medical attention right away as this may be a sign of internal bleeding due to the ruptured ovarian cyst. You should also seek medical help ASAP if you have a fever and are vomiting along with the other symptoms as you may have an infection.

There are some times that a ruptured ovarian cyst can cause significant damage while other women may not even really notice if a cyst bursts. If you want to prevent this from happening to you, check out the Natural Ovarian Cyst Relief Secrets book. It tells you how to get rid of ovarian cysts naturally and prevent them from coming back.
