Hemorrhoid Treatment TCM

This article provides a brief overview of hemorrhoid treatment TCM based.

Inflamed and sometimes bleeding veins located in the wall of the rectum and anus are called hemorrhoids, which are primarily swollen tissues that may develop into a thrombus (blood clot), bleed, become enlarged and protrude.

If found inside the anus, they are termed internal hemorrhoids. Those that protrude outside the anus are called external hemorrhoids.

TCM categorizes them into the following stages:

* At the first stage, small hemorrhoids on the internal wall of the rectum and anus are present.

* At the 2nd stage there is bleeding, although the inflamed tissue retracts into sphincter on its own.

* At the third stage, these hemorrhoids exit with coughing, sneezing or laughing and require physical pushing back into place causing great discomfort and pain.

The primary causes of hemorrhoids as viewed by TCM could be from factors such as obesity, greasy and spicy food intake, repeated straining during bowel movements due to constipation, etc. Protein deficiency is also known to cause hemorrhoids.
