Hemorrhoid is an anorectal condition where the veins of the rectal and anal area become swollen.
It is considered the "varicose veins" of the rectum.
Contrary to common perception, this condition is actually common and in fact, is found in any human being, male or female.
  The difference occurs with the intensity of the inflammation.
Some have mild and totally unnoticeable condition, while others have complex types which even cause great pain and produce bleeding.
Some mild types are can be cured after minimal bleeding hemorrhoids treatment, while other types are far more serious and may need surgery.
It can be scary for those who suffer from bleeding hemorrhoids for the first time.
The bleeding may be internal or external.
Internal hemorrhoids can result to blood in the stool.
Note, however, that internal bleeding does not necessarily involve the painful feeling.
The patient can simply see blood traces but will not feel any discomfort during the process.
Once the swollen vein is pushed out of the anal opening, it is now considered external hemorrhoid or medically called prolapsed hemorrhoid.
In most cases, this type is the painful one and may involve flow of blood instead of just traces.
A lot of patients tend to get alarmed once they see blood from any part of the body.
Bleeding can cause great inconvenience, not to mention embarrassment.
As such, once this symptom is experienced, it is best to immediately consult a physician.
Bleeding could be possible symptom of a more complex disease.
Bleeding hemorrhoids treatment is usually assessed by physicians - depending on whether the condition is curable by natural or surgical procedure.
Before finding out how to stop bleeding hemorrhoids, consider knowing what causes it.
The causes of hemorrhoids include strained bowel movement due to constipation, diarrhea, forceful coughing or sneezing, pregnancy, obesity, prolonged standing or lifting too much weight, anal intercourse, anal or rectal infection, or cirrhosis of the liver, among many others.
Bleeding hemorrhoids treatment could be either of the following procedures depending on the patient's condition.
For Internal Hemorrhoids, consider any of the following bleeding piles treatments: Rubber Band Ligation, Injection Sclerotherapy, Infrared Photocoagulation, Laser Photocoagulation, or Hemorrhoidectomy.
For External Hemorrhoids, it would be the latter three.
For the worst condition of prolapsed hemorrhoid it is recommended to undergo Hemorrhoidectomy.
Before opting for surgical methods however, explore various options for a traditional or natural bleeding hemorrhoids treatment first.
Sometimes, change of diet and lifestyle can even cure the problem.
This change process however will involve long time and more discipline and effort.
If the condition is already too complex, consider taking the physician's recommendation.
