Hemorrhoids Treatment Device Market

Hemorrhoids Treatment Devices Market Overview

In recent years, lifestyle changes have caused health problems to all age groups. One amongst them is hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids also known as piles is a common health problem faced by many. Initially, researchers stated that people above the age of fifty were diagnosed with hemorrhoids. But, with work and lifestyle changes, younger adults have also been affected with hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the lower part of the rectum and the anus. Three types of Hemorrhoids have been detected by doctors. Hemorrhoids are categorized into Internal Hemorrhoids (forms on the lining of the anus and the inner rectum), External Hemorrhoids (forms under the skin and around the anus) and Thrombosed Hemorrhoids (caused due to blood clot inside a hemorrhoidal vein)

Common causes of hemorrhoids include,

• Chronic constipation
• Indigestion of food
• Obesity
• Straining during bowel movements
• Sitting for long periods on the toilet
• Pregnancy
• Diarrhea
• Consumption of a low fiber diet

Young adults face the problem of hemorrhoids due to heavy lifting in the gym as certain exercises stretch the anal muscles.

A patient who faces the problem of hemorrhoids experiences discomfort, itching, bleeding while passing stool and irritation in the anal region. At times the bleeding can be painless too. To get relief from pain, patients usually try to cure themselves at home, make changes in their diets and when the pain is extreme, they consult a doctor.
