In the general population, more than 1 in every 20 people suffer from hemorrhoids. In pregnant women this number increases significantly. Carrying the extra weight of a baby as well as other changes that the body goes through during pregnancy cause the veins in the rectum to swell which ultimately leads to hemorrhoids.
A friend of mine who suffered from hemorrhoids for 9 months recently cured herself. I decided it might be useful for some people to read about another persons personal struggle and to hear what worked well for them, so thats what Ive done in this article. Ive prepared a case study detailing how her story unfolded.
Prolapsed hemorrhoids are a form of internal hemorrhoids that have fallen down and are poking out of the anal canal. They can often be confused as being external hemorrhoids because they are in fact partially external in nature. Protruding hemorrhoids usually appear as a red lump of inflamed tissue.
