\nCauses of Hemorrhoids – Are You at Risk?<\/h3>\n
Developing hemorrhoids can be attributed to lifestyle choices, for instance,
\neating excessive fiber may lead to the development of
\nhemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are common in the elderly, the cause is not surprising
\nbecause most of the anal muscles which aid in the propulsion of blood through
\nthe venous system will lose their tone from large stool with age. Hereditary factors can play a role in the development of hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids are known to run in families and the likelihood of an individual developing the problem
\nincreases if his or her parents were affected by the condition. The main reason for this is diet, your parents taught you how to eat.<\/p>\n
Every man woman and child is born with hemorrhoids, anal cushions that encircle the anal canal and protect your insides from stools that may cause damage. The trouble comes in when our hemorrhoids (anal cushions) become enlarged, almost always caused by large stool, dry stool, large or small, constipation, and holding back when the time comes. Due mainly to high fiber intake and poor diet. I know some of you are surprised that fiber can be trouble. Fiber is known as a bulking agent, it bulks-up your stool, causing havoc within your colorectal system.<\/p>\n
Fiber-rich diets are the problem
\nAccording to Human Physiology by Schmidt and Thews \u2014 a textbook for medical
\nstudents \u2014 people who consume fiber-rich diets excrete around 400 grams of stools
\ndaily.
\nHowever, that number is only 72 grams on a low-fiber diet, which is much more
\nhealthy and pain-free. But people get accustomed to the large movement and tend to hold-back small bowel movements, It\u2018s important not to miss a bowel movement even though it seems to be a small amount of excrement to pass. If you miss bowel movements, small stools quickly dry out, become costive, and difficult to pass.<\/p>\n
It does not take much to develop dry stool. A stool will become dry when the moisture content drops by just 10%.
\nIt should be noted that stools could be dry right away when the essential bacteria (gut flora) is not present in the body (which is always the cause of constipation). You see food to stool is something most people take for granted. Unfortunately, it is not true.<\/p>\n
Food in to Stool, Not Really
\nMany people find this aspect hard to understand, as the idea of food to stools is something that most people accept. In fact, stools are 65% to 85% water. For those eating a low fiber diet, undigested food will make up 5% to 7% of the stool volume. For those that eat a high fiber diet, the make-up will be 10% to 15% undigested food.
\nThere are 5 components to food (water, protein, fat, fiber, and carbohydrates). It is the only fiber that is indigestible, as the others can be totally digested.
\nWater \u2013 Only a very small amount is excreted with a bowel movement, and more
\nwill be excreted in a high fiber diet.
\nProtein \u2013 there is no protein found in normal stools as it is digested and then absorbed into the bloodstream in amino acids (such as meat, seafood, dairy, plant, and fowl protein).
\nFat \u2013 almost 95% of the fat that is ingested is absorbed into the small intestine. However, if more than 6% of consumed fat in a stool sample is found, then it is abnormal (a condition known as steatorrhea).
\nCarbohydrates \u2013 both simple and complex carbohydrates are digested in the small
\nintestine, and then absorbed in the bloodstream as glucose, fructose, and galactose.<\/p>\n
However, if you have more than 0.5% of undigested carbohydrates in the stool, then it is unhealthy. Overall, there is more then 75% water of total matter in a normal stool. For example, with a low-fiber diet, you would excrete 25 grams of undigested matter for every 100 grams of stool, with only 8 grams coming from food.
\nThe water within the stool is held in dead cells and intestinal bacteria. There are studies that show that dead cells make up to 50% of the dry stool matter or 11 grams for every 100 grams of excreted matter.
\nWith bacteria in the body, fiber has less impact on the size and weight of the stool, as it will ferment up to half of the insoluble fiber. This demonstrates how important intestinal bacteria is.
\nBacteria make up 30\u201350% of the total dry matter in your feces, and even as high as
\n75% according to R.F. Schmidt, G. Thews Human Physiology, 2nd edition. This is the reason that many doctors recommend \u201cfiber replacement therapy\u201d, as it keeps water in place of the absent bacteria (but the fiber is not as efficient as your natural bacteria).
\nWithout fiber, you must get into the habit of moving your bowels after each meal, as this is the time when the body initiates the stimulation of defecation.<\/p>\n
Constipation<\/p>\n
Constipation is the most common cause of hemorrhoids. Tension in the anal
\narea is caused by straining during bowel movements. This will consequently put
\na strain on the blood vessels, leading them to become over-inflated with blood.
\nCreating inflamed, irritated, and bleeding that can really shock you if you\u2019ve never
\nseen blood on your toilet tissue. This is from the blood veins responding to
\nthe tension from the bowel movements. You may be required to change your diet
\nin order to prevent future problems.<\/p>\n
Pregnancy<\/p>\n
After constipation, pregnancy is the most typical reason for hemorrhoids.
\nThis can be caused by diverse reasons. For instance, the continual tension that
\nis happening in the blood veins in the rectal area can cause irritation. In
\nturn, the blood veins will work harder as a result of a drastic increase in
\nhormone levels. This will then put tension on them, resulting from inflammation
\nand irritation. If a patient is pregnant or expecting to be pregnant, it is
\nvery important to know that this is a normal part of pregnancy. However, it is
\nonly for a limited period of time and will usually disappear after you have
\ngiven birth. We recommend only safe all-natural remedies.<\/p>\n
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBS)<\/p>\n
Inflammatory bowel disease may also cause hemorrhoids. This happens when you
\nare constipated or you have diarrhea, from problems with your digestive system.<\/p>\n
Being well-informed about the different causes of
\nhemorrhoids will aid in transforming and maybe even prevent the intolerable pain of hemorrhoidal disease.<\/p>\n
Once you have hemorrhoids, it is best to seek out the origin of the hemorrhoids and why it is happening (large stool, trying too hard). After that, you can change specific parts of your lifestyle, such as your food intake, cut way down on fiber to help avoid the hemorrhoids from being an incessant nuisance.<\/p>\n
