Natural remedies for bowel pain
You are probably suffering from hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles. This is a condition in which tissues in the anus and the rectum become swollen and inflamed due to excessive pressure on the veins in these areas. Although bleeding is often associated with the condition, hemorrhoids do not always bleed.
Some people only experience itching and pain.
In most cases, hemorrhoids do not require medical treatment. Some simple measures are enough to get rid of the condition and also prevent a recurrence.
Avoid straining when passing a stool. Chronic constipation or diarrhea can also cause hemorrhoids, so eat healthily and drink enough water to make sure that your stools are normal. Increasing your intake of dietary fiber will help greatly. Fruits, vegetables, and cereals should be a regular part of your diet. In addition, you should exercise regularly, as this will improve the functioning of your digestive system and also improve muscle tone.
It is also possible that what you have is a perianal hematoma, and not hemorrhoids. This is essentially a blood clot in the anal area, usually the result of a small vein ruptured by excessive straining. The condition is not serious and usually resolves itself, but may leave a skin tag, so it is better to get the clot removed by a doctor.
