Hemorrhoids medicine
Say the word hemorrhoids to just about anyone and they will either roll
their eyes, moan or both. Invariably they will want to change the subject.
According to the National Institutes of Health, about half the
US population over 50 have hemorrhoids. "Hemorrhoids are one of the most common complaints a physician must evaluate," agrees Lee E. Smith, M.D., director of the division of colon and
rectal surgery at the George Washington University Medical Center,
Washington, D.C.
Common, but rarely a serious risk to health, hemorrhoids are the result of
too much pressure on the hemorrhoidal veins in the rectum. The strain of
constipation, diarrhea and pregnancy can cause the veins to swell. Other
factors such as obesity and liver disease can also increase pressure and cause
hemorrhoids.
