What Else can I do?

Minor rectal bleeding refers to a condition where the veins in the lower rectum and around the anus are swollen, dilated and inflamed (similar to varicose veins in legs). This can result in pain, itching, irritation, burning and sometimes bleeding – these symptoms indicate a flare-up. About 75% of all Americans will have minor rectal bleeding at some point in their lives.

There are two types of minor rectal bleeding: internal and external. Internal minor rectal bleeding occurs in the lower rectum and external minor rectal bleeding develop under the skin around the anus.

Internal minor rectal bleeding is typically painless, even when they produce bleeding. Internal rectal bleeding can become painful when straining pushes them out through the anus (also called a “prolapsed hemorrhoid). When this happens, it may cause irritation and itching.

External minor rectal bleeding can lead to discomfort and itching because they make cleaning this area difficult. If a blood clot forms inside an external minor rectal bleeding, the pain can be sudden and severe.

Does Minor Rectal Bleeding Go Away?

Minor rectal bleeding are a chronic condition, meaning once they form they do not go away. Flare-ups, on the other hand, come and go. You can get relief from flare-up symptoms with Hemodas™ products. To reduce the risk of flare-ups and reduce the prevalence of new minor rectal bleeding, you can make lifestyle changes like exercising and reducing constipation with a balanced, high-fiber diet. These treatments may not provide a total cure for minor rectal bleeding, but they can help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

You can help prevent hemorrhoids or minimize flare-ups by making simple lifestyle changes:

• Gently cleanse
  • Use Hemodas™ Hemorroidal sponge for Women following childbirth to gently cleanse and soothe the irritated area.
• Drink water
  • Drinking plenty of water a day can help reduce the risk of constipation and keep bowel movements soft and easy to pass (reducing your risk of minor rectal bleeding flare-ups).
• Eat a balanced, high-fiber diet
  • With your healthcare provider’s approval, follow a balanced diet, rich in fiber to help prevent constipation.
• Get some exercise
  • A little physical activity can aid in digestion and tone the supporting muscles of the anal and rectal area as well as the abdomen. With your healthcare provider’s approval, walk or do other non-strenuous activities.
• Do Kegel exercises
  • Kegel exercises help strengthen the pelvic floor plus anal and rectal muscles after childbirth. This can aid in digestion and prevent constipation. To do a Kegel exercise, tighten your vaginal muscles (as you would if you needed to stop urinating midstream), hold it for a few seconds, release and repeat several times. It’s a discreet exercise you can do almost anywhere.
• Use the restroom as soon as you have the urge
  • Holding in a bowel movement may contribute to chronic constipation. As a mother, it’s hard to find a few quiet minutes for yourself. That said, it’s important to set aside time to use the bathroom—preferably when you can be uninterrupted.
• Maintain a healthy weight
  • Extra weight can put more pressure on your abdomen, which increases your chances of getting hemorrhoids. Try to stay within the weight guidelines your healthcare provider sets.
• Try not to stand or sit for long periods
  • Sitting or standing can put pressure on your rectum and cause hemorrhoids or make existing hemorrhoids worse. If you are sitting and nursing for long periods, try other positions, such as reclining, or sitting on an O-ring cushion.
