• Hemroids - 101
  A lot of people don't even know they have hemorrhoids. The rectum is not an area you can readily see.

• Hemorrhoids - Symptoms & Treatments
  Hemorrhoids are actually varicose veins in the anus and rectum. They occur when blood vessels that are either inside the anus or around it become swollen. The more swollen they become, the more painful they are. Hemorrhoids may cause bleeding, and their constant irritation could lead to itching. However, most often itching is a sign of pinworms or an overgrowth of Candida albicans. The following can cause hemorrhoids: constipation, chronic diarrhea, straining when you go to the bathroom, and any pressure that contributes to congestion in veins in that area (like coughing, sneezing, or sitting or standing for long periods of time). But let's face it, if you have strong blood vessels, sneezing and sitting won't give you hemorrhoids.

• What Are Hemmorrhoids & Where Can They Occur?
  Hemorrhoids are simply inflamed veins in the area of the rectum and anus. Because of their location and the importance of this location, they can become painful. There are several types of hemorrhoids of which the two most popular are external and internal hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids are located on the outside of the anus. Often times these can be painful and will include swelling and irritation. Due to skin irritation that external hemorrhoids can cause often times itchiness will be a major side effect. If the vein is to rupture and blood clot develops the hemorrhoid becomes a thrombosed hemorrhoid.The second most common type of hemorrhoid is an internal hemorrhoid which follows its name and is located inside the rectum. Inside the rectum your body does not have pain receptors which means that in most cases individuals won't even find out that they have them until visiting their doctor for a check-up.

An external hemorrhoid is usually itchy and irritating. It is also a lot more painful than internal hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids usually do not hurt and they definitely do not hurt as much as an external hemorrhoid even when it does. They are found inside your rectum itself and may occasionally bleed.

• Chrone's Disease
  Crohn’s Disease is sometimes difficult to identify, as the symptoms mimic many other gastrointestinal disorders. However, once you recognize an inflammatory bowel disease, specific testing can be completed to determine if Crohn’s is an issue. The primary symptom associated with Crohn’s Disease is diarrhea. The inflammation of the intestines experienced as a result of the disorder causes excessive amounts of salt and water to be produced that the body can not reabsorb. The body, in turn, attempts to dispose of the excess fluid causing diarrhea. Intestinal contractions also contribute to this process. The severity of diarrhea will vary by individual, from mildly loose occurring slightly more frequently to extremely watery occurring multiple times a day.
