Within the teachings of Chinese medicine, blood-vessel/ hemmorhoid related problems can result from an imbalance of yang energy of the Du Mai meridian. This approach often lacks satisfactory results and can lead to various severe complications. For more severe cases, surgical treatment is routinely prescribed. The conservative clinical treatment includes the targeting dietary factors (increase of fiber and water intake) and a regularization of the daily evacuation habits. Main symptoms include: pain upon evacuation, anal burning, anal itching and anal bleeding or any combination of these.
We can classify the hemorrhoid by its localization: Internal (inside the anus) and external (outside of the anus). Hemorrhoids typically are caused by the effort to evacuate stool, pregnancy, chronic constipation or a low fiber diet. It is a common condition effecting millions of people all around the world. Hemorrhoids are characterized by inflammation and edema of the vessels surrounding the anus and rectum.
