Avatrol - Frequently Asked Questions

Can hemorrhoids become cancerous?

Although hemorrhoids are extremely discomforting, they are not cancerous or life threatening. If anything, they are more of an inconvenience due to the burning, itching, and swelling that can occur. However, severe hemorrhoids can be quite painful and should be evaluated by a physician. As well, if any blood is found in your stool with regularity, you should also seek immediate medical assistance.


I heard that hemorrhoids are a normal part of pregnancy. Is this true?

Yes, hemorrhoids are common during pregnancy. It is estimated that some 80% of all pregnant women develop hemorrhoids during pregnancy. The growing uterus puts additional pressure on the veins located in the pelvis, and inferior cava (large vein that supplies the lower limbs with blood). This pressure slows the return of blood from your lower body, resulting in compression of the veins located below the uterus. Hemorrhoids are in fact blood vessels, or they are commonly referred to as, "vericose veins." Therefore, the added stress often leads to dialation or swelling of vessels located in the rectal area. In addition, women who have suffered from hemorrhoids previous to pregnancy are more likely to develop the condition during gestation.


Are there any things I can do at home to prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids?

Most hemorrhoids are considered mild to moderately severe. Modifications in diet and lifestyle can often relieve some, if not all, of hemorrhoid symptoms. Your primary goal should be to ensure that your stool in soft and passed easily. Adjustments that you may want to make at home before seeing your physician, include:

Maintaining adequate hydration: 8-12 glasses of water daily

Increasing fiber Intake: Gradually increase fiber intake to bulk and soften stools

Eat more vegetables: Not only do vegetables contain abundant amounts of fiber, a large number of dietitians suggest that persons who are prone to, or have recurrent hemorrhoids should obtain 65-70% of their diet from vegetables sources.

Exercise: Relaxation techniques and other execises can ease stress.

Stool Softeners: You may want to use stool softners to help with elimation processes. However, these should be used sparingly.

Other approaches to lessen the severity and occurence of hemorrhoids can include; sitz baths, not straining during bowel movements, not scratching the area, avoiding the use of toilet paper with perfumes or colors, wearing cotton undergarments, and applying witch hazel to the affected area with a cotton swab.


Are nutritional supplements and diet really that influential for hemorrhoid treatment and prevention?

Absolutely. Diet plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bowel movements. Nutritional supplementation that is designed to target the factors associated with condition onset can not only help to manage hemorrhoids more troublesome symptoms, but also ensures that nutrients needs are met for proper colon health. What's more, hemorrhoids are thought to occur only in human beings. No other animals are thought to suffer from such an ailment. This may provide a key indicator in regards to diet and other lifestyle habits; suggesting that what we eat and how we take care of ourselves plays a greater role in this disorder than any other influential factor.
