The most common sign of internal hemorrhoids is rectal
bleeding. The treatment is then provided according to
the grade. The grade of the hemorrhoid depends on the
extent of descent into the anal canal and out of the
anus. Hemorrhoids can ooze fresh red blood, whether
located externally or internally. But bleeding internal
hemorrhoids may produce fresh blood in the stool.
Reasons for bleeding internal hemorrhoids can develop
from any common sources of pressure include like
a) Constipation and extra straining of the bowel.
b) Diarrhea, where the expulsion of loose stools is
continuous.
c) Sitting or standing for prolonged hoursd) Obesity
e) Lifting very heavy weights or objectsf)
Pregnancy and childbirthHow to deal with bleeding internal
hemorrhoids
a) Consult a doctor immediately. If you have been suffering
from bleeding internal hemorrhoids then inform him if
your bleeding is not stopping. If you are not aware
of why you are bleeding then go for a check up as more
than often anal fissure is mistaken for bleeding internal
hemorrhoids.
b) Wipe yourself with clean wet toilet paper. Wetting
the paper makes it softer.
c) Ask for emergency care if you notice large amounts
of rectal bleeding along with dizziness or faintness.
Treatments for bleeding internal hemorrhoids
If the bleeding is not stopping with prescribed medicines
the doctor may recommend
a) Rubber band ligation - Here one or two tiny rubber
bands around the base of an internal hemorrhoid to cut
off its circulation and the hemorrhoid falls off.
b) Sclerotherapy- In this process a chemical solution
is injected around the blood vessel to shrink the hemorrhoid.
c) Laser treatment - A burst of infrared light can
cut off circulation to small, bleeding, internal hemorrhoids.
d) Hemorrhoidectomy - This is the last resource if other
procedures fail. Here the surgery is done with either
local anesthetic combined with sedation, and requires
an overnight hospital stay.
