Hemorrhoids (also known as piles) are a form of varicose veins. It is swollen, enlarged veins that develop in the anal and rectal area.
They are very common; almost everyone will have them at some time in their life and approximately 50 percent of those over age 50 have them.
Hemorrhoids are usually caused by increased pressure on the veins in the pelvic and rectal area, which causes pooling of blood in the veins. The swelling veins stretch the surrounding tissue, leading to the development of hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid symptoms

Hemorrhoids can develop either inside the rectum (internal) or outside (external) and symptoms vary and may include:

  • Blue or purple skin in the rectal area
  • Feeling of fullness in the rectum (with internal hemorrhoids)
  • Itching, skin irritation, and discomfort
  • Lumpy tissue protruding from the rectum
  • Rectal bleeding (blood in stool or toilet paper)

Supplements for hemorrhoids treatment

For hemoroid treatment used supplements:

Diosmin
Diosmin is a flavonoid that improves vein health and reduces swelling, pain, itching, and bleeding. Numerous studies, including research on pregnant women, have found benefits for hemorrhoids.

Fibre
Fibre supplements can be used to complement the diet. Look for a product that contains both soluble and insoluble fibres. Increase fibre intake gradually and take regularly with plenty of water.

Horse chestnut seed extract
This extract reduces swelling and pain, and promotes vein health. It may take several weeks to notice benefits.

Probiotics
Probiotics supplements containing these “friendly bacteria” help to restore the normal gut flora and have been shown in studies to relieve constipation. Look for Kyo-Dophilus.

Witch hazel
Strengthens veins and reduces inflammation. It is available in teas, creams, and solutions (to make compresses). It is safe for use during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
