Internal hemroids occur inside the anal canal (rectum) and are usually caused by too much straining (pregnancy, lifting heavy weight, bearing down to pass stools, etc.). Basically the veins lining the walls of the rectum become engorged with too much blood – (varicose veins) and bulge out. An internal hemroid can sometimes bleed, but rectal bleeding of any kind should be examined right away. A hemorrhoid may protrude through the anus outside the body, becoming irritated and painful. This is known as a protruding hemorrhoid. Internal Hemroids SymptomsThe symptom of internal hemmoroids is red blood. If a hemmoroid is bleeding it's likely an internal hemmoroid. It may be in the stool after a bowel movement. If you have rectal pain or bleeding, check with your doctor for treatment. The odds are overwhelming that you have a fissure or a crack in your rectum that can be cured with treatments like antibiotics and a topical nitroglycerin cream. If your doctor does not find fissures, you must have a tube inserted into your colon to check for other causes of bleeding such as cancers as one in four cases of rectal bleeding are not caused by fissures but by serious illness. Bleeding Internal HemroidsMany anorectal problems, including fissures, fistulae, abscesses, or irritation and itching, have similar symptoms. A thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis by the doctor is important any time bleeding from the rectum or blood in the stool occurs. This is not a sign to be ignored or self-diagnosed as bleeding also may be signs of other digestive diseases, including colorectal cancer, which is curable if diagnosed early. Cure and Treatment for Internal HemroidsIf you have a fissure or large veins called hemmoroids, you can often be cured by taking a long-acting erythromycin (azithromycin 250 mg once a day for 9 days) and applying a special ointment made by mixing one part of the commercially available (by prescription) 2% nitroglycerin ointment with 20 parts of Vaseline. For internal hemmoroids, the surgical procedures are injection sclerotherapy, laser coagulation, infrared photocoagulation, rubber band ligation, and the hemorrhoidectomy. Remedy is best achieved with lots of fiber and water in a diet. Medical Treatments Over the counter products used to treat hemmoroids include the use of rectal suppositories, stool softeners, topical preparations Preparation H, and medicated wipes. Prescription medications are available as creams, ointments, and suppositories. The hydrocortisone contained in these products reduces inflammation, itching, and swelling.
