According to statistics, 20% of the world's population suffer from hemorrhoids. And these are only statistics of those who turned to a doctor for help. Increasingly, this disease occurs not only in the elderly, but also in young people. Timely treatment leads to a complete recovery, and elimination of the cause, correction of lifestyle eliminates the recurrence of the problem.
Causes, types and methods of treating hemorrhoids

Distinguish between internal and external hemorrhoids. In the case of nodes outside the anus, they are easily detected independently. Pain can occur sharply, and there is a chance of bleeding, because hemorrhoids are constantly susceptible to injury.
Internal hemorrhoids can not be felt at the initial stage, there can only be a feeling of fullness and heaviness during bowel movements, which is dangerous for health.
It is not uncommon for patients to remain silent or self-medicate, which only leads to an aggravation of the situation or a transition to the chronic stage of the disease, after which surgical intervention may be required.
It must be remembered that the use of alternative methods can only be used in combination with the main treatment method, which will be prescribed by a proctologist. Appointment during treatment is often not limited to candles. It can be tablets, and ointments, and candles, lotions and baths. Correction of nutrition, regular exercise, prevention of constipation - will also help in the fight against the disease.
