Hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids)
The hemorrhoids They are vascular “pillows” in the anus area and perform two basic functions: temperament, so that the intestine and protection can close properly, that is, avoiding bowel injuries, which would lead to rag, abscess or fistula. So when the hemorrhoids suffer (swell, grow and swell), the tissues that keep them in place relax and cannot perform their functions. This condition is known as “hemorrhoids”, which is the beginning of poor quality of life and daily suffering. “
What are the causes of her appearance?
It is a very common condition that occurs in both sexes, affecting at least 50% of the world’s population up to 50 years, mainly in the western world. The main causes are constipation and heredity. At the same time, the abandonment of the Mediterranean diet, the conversion to diets that have an emphasis on meat, sugar and “ready meals”, combined with sedentary life and anxiety, lead to constipation and hemorrhoids. An additional cause is the increase in intra -abdominal pressure, namely pregnancy, obesity, severe coughing, lifting large weights, as well as advanced age.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms are usually obvious and one can hardly ignore them. Among other things, the small scale bleeding during emptying, incomplete defecation, itching and irritation in the anus area while simultaneously swelling, loss of fluids in the underwear, but mainly severe pain.
The role of diet in the appearance of hemorrhoids
Eating habits play a decisive role in the emergence and management of the disease. They can increase the risk of its appearance-in particular the diet that is low in fiber, essential fat (such as omega-3s), micro-dimensions (including zinc and chromium) and high in consumption of animal products and alcohol. On the contrary, eating fiber -rich foods and rich in fruits vegetables and whole grains diet work catalytically in order to get rid of constipation. This is also confirmed by the very low percentages of the disease in people of less developed countries, which consume more fruits, vegetables and seeds. Obesity or overweight can also be the causes of its appearance, as well as pregnancy, as well as sedentary life. We need to be very careful, both in the quantity and types of food we consume. At the same time, we must pay attention to alcohol consumption, as research has shown that excessive consumption does not help fight the disease.
Combination of minimally invasive techniques, e-rafistura-definitive and permanent solution
While hemorrhoids can shrink over time and cease to be a problem, there are cases where the only therapeutic option is surgery, such as for example when the hemorrhoids are large, painful, or often bleed. The latest technological developments in the field of treatment with the use of radio frequencies have “armed” our hands with bloodless, minimal invasive methods. In our case, using these new applications of established and harmless radio frequency technology, we intervene completely targeted, without causing burns to the surrounding tissues. Immediate result of combination methods, which are painless and do not exceed 15 – 20 minutes, is the sublimation of the abnormal hemorrhoids, which decreases and becomes normal. In practice, then, we do not remove and mutilate the tissues. On the contrary, we treat hemorrhoids by avoiding complications such as incontinence and reappearance, with the immediate effect of eliminating the likelihood of hemorrhoids, rapid recovery and returning to daily activities from the very next day.
