Having hemorrhoidsis never fun. But unfortunately, studies show that half of all adults over the age of 50 will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point. The condition is easy enough to develop — constipation is one of the leading causes of hemorrhoids, and there’s not much that can be done to prevent them. What are hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids are swollen, infected veins in the rectum or anus that cause itching, bleeding, and general discomfort in the surrounding area. Hemorrhoids develop due to increased pressure in the rectum, as interlocking blood vessels create “anal cushions” that help open and close the anal canal. Besides constipation, hemorrhoids can also be caused by pregnancy (hypertension and delivery often put pressure on the area), obesity, diarrhea, or even prolonged sitting on the toilet during a bowel movement. You have hemorrhoids – what can you expect? Hemorrhoids can cause significant pain. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids, you may experience discomfort, or even bleeding, when having a bowel movement, and you could have trouble squatting, sitting, or even walking. Because hemorrhoids can be internal, in the rectum, or external, outside the anus, the pain radiates from a variety of points, and can be difficult to manage. Obviously, you can’t avoid sitting or walking at some points during the day, so it can be hard to relieve the pain that hemorrhoids are causing. Additionally, hemorrhoids that originate from the anus can grow from the body, which could require a procedure to push the prolapse back into place to stop the pain. How do you treat hemorrhoids? In some cases, hemorrhoids can be treated with natural remedies, like warm baths, or changes to your diet. Surgery is often the last option that a doctor will explore, especially for persistent hemorrhoids that do not respond to natural treatment. For symptomatic internal hemorrhoids, you may be able to treat them with a minimally invasive procedure known as Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization. This procedure uses a Doppler ultrasound to scope out the diseased hemorrhoid vessels and determine how much blood is flowing through the area and find where the arteries with the hemorrhoids end. Once those arteries have been located, a surgeon will use an absorbable suture to tie off the arterial blood flow to a point where the anal cushion is able to shrink. Another method for treating hemorrhoids surgically is a hemorrhoidopexy. This procedure repairs the prolapse and can be done during a Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids, it’s important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor and see what he or she recommends. Often, you can discuss options for treatment with a surgeon who is skilled in handling hemorrhoids and can go over what you can expect, and what will be best for your particular case.

While back injuries can be very painful, they don’t have to keep you off the field or put an end to your fitness routine forever. Whether your treatment involves at home care, injections, physical therapy, surgery or another type of medical treatment, you should be able to get back to the physical activities that you enjoy. However, before you try to return to your sport there are several things you need to keep in mind. Take it slow. We all know the old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” – the same is certainly true when you are recovering from a back injury orsurgery. Your body needs time to heal and strengthen before you can safely attempt to get return to your previous exercise level. Even if you are professional athlete, you need to recognize that getting back to your pre-injury/pre-surgical level of competition is an ongoing process. Listen to your body’s signals. One of the most important things you can do is to listen to your own body. While some amount pain may be normal, if your pain is acute, chronic or seems to be out of the “normal” range, you need to stop. By calling your doctor and explaining what is happening, you can be you can be sure that you are not doing more harm than good. Follow your doctor’s instructions. While you may think you should automatically be able to get back to your normal exercise regime, following your doctor’s orders is critical to proper healing. Many factors will impact your recovery, including the type of back injury you sustained, the type(s) of treatments you have undergone and your overall fitness and health. Your medical team is in the best position to advise you on what your body can and cannot handle. Take your medication. Back pain is definitely one of the worst possible pains that you can endure. Whether you have undergone surgery or are following a non-surgical treatment plan, you need to take the medications ordered by your physician. Controlling pain is an essential part of the treatment process. If you have concerns about your pain medication at any point in time during the recovery process, you should explore your options with your doctor. Stay on top your rehabilitation plan. In many situations, your medical team will develop a detailed plan for your rehabilitation. This plan may include strengthening exercises, stretching routines, massages and other forms of active physical therapy. Your rehabilitation may also involve using ice packs, heating pads and other equipment designed to help soothe your back tissues and muscles. While it is easy to get off track, it is very important to follow your prescribed physical therapies and exercises. Whether you make your livelihood playing a professional sport or workout simply to relax and stay in shape, a back injury can severely limit your ability to follow your exercise program. In some cases, back surgery may prove to be the best option and in other situations physical therapy, medication and other non-surgical procedures may be the recommended course of treatment. In either case, getting back to your pre-surgical level of activity does not have to be an impossibility. With some patience, time and effort you are likely to be back at in the game sooner than you might think. ...read more
