Varicose veins are unsightly, detrimental to your health and definitely cumbersome and uncomfortable especially if they occur in your rectal area. They are otherwise called hemorrhoids and their cardinal sign is inflamed, dilated veins that are sensitive to touch and tear easily. These so-called ‘piles’ in layman term will leave you feeling miserable because of their presence. Yet that doesn’t mean you should immediately seek surgical intervention to have them removed.
Bear in mind that surgery is the least and last resort that doctors would offer to you, when all else fails. But you don’t have to go under the knife for your problem because it’s not yet too late to resort to gentler, healthier non-invasive solutions. First of all, your doctor may prescribe you with certain vitamins along with the prescribed medications for the said condition.
These nutrients that the body needs act as an adjunct to your required therapy for the treatment of hemorrhoids. So if you’re still planning on having surgery as your last resort, think again. Perhaps your body is just deficient on certain vitamins and nutrients that will act as catalyst for your speedy recovery.
Vitamins for hemorrhoids treatment is getting more and more popular these days because it’s less costly, very effective, pain-free and it can benefit your body in many other ways as well. The human body is not capable of breaking down and synthesizing vitamins. That is why they are incorporated in the diet as food or food supplements. Without vitamins, the body will suffer different ailments caused by certain deficiencies. There are certain vitamin deficiencies that lead to the development of hemorrhoids.
Here are some of the vitamins and how they can help the body counteract the growth of these uncomfortable ‘piles’, and of course aid in healing if you already have them. The principal vitamins that aid in haemorrhoidal treatment are vitamins A, B6, C, and E. Vitamin A, the main catalyst for collagen production helps in repairing body tissues. It also helps to strengthen linings of the body’s vital organs like the heart and lungs and it protects the soft tissues and mucous membranes as well. Vitamin B6 or cyanocobalamine is vital in keeping the skin glowing and healthy. This nutrient is best especially for pregnant women who have hemorrhoids since the vitamin is usually depleted in this group of people.
Vitamin B6 is the only nutrient that is not found in food, but the intrinsic factor which acts as a catalyst for its production and synthesis in the body is injected intramuscularly. Ask your doctor about it. Then there’s vitamin C that helps to maintain the integrity of the blood vessels. It helps boost the immune defenses and aids in speedy wound healing.
Since hemorrhoids are prone to breaking and bleeding, vitamin C, combined with vitamin K make a very effective clotting factor to prevent major bleeding tendencies in case the ‘piles’ are torn through exertion. And lastly, vitamin E helps to maintain tissue integrity, making them more elastic and less prone to bleeding. More elastic membranes lessen the chances of itching and pain caused by the hemorrhoids.
