Analcare is a natural cream, not a medicinal product. It effectively soothes and relieves anal irritation and
discomfort using natural ingredients. But, for those interested in a clinical, scientific explanation of the causes of anal discomfort,
for an abridged version of a recent article on the subject, click here.
Hemorrhoids are vascular structures in the anal canal which help with stool control. The symptoms of pathological
haemorrhoids, or piles, depend on the type present. Internals are usually painless with rectal bleeding while external
hemorrhoids may produce few symptoms or, if thrombosed, significant pain and swelling in the area of the anus.
The exact cause of symptomatic hemorrhoids is unknown.[A number of factors are believed to play a role including:
irregular bowel habits (constipation or diarrhoea), a lack of exercise, nutritional factors (low-fibre diets), increased
intra-abdominal pressure (prolonged straining, an intra-abdominal mass, or pregnancy), genetics, an absence of
valves within the haemorrhoidal veins, and ageing. Other factors that are believed to increase the risk include
obesity, prolonged sitting and pelvic floor dysfunction. Evidence for these associations, however, is poor.
Many people incorrectly refer to any symptom occurring around the anal-rectal area as "haemorrhoids" and serious
causes of the symptoms should be ruled out. Initial treatment for mild to moderate piles is often a topical application
of a cream, which is frequently effective. Up to half of people may experience problems with hemorrhoids at some
point in their life. Outcomes are usually good.During pregnancy, pressure from the foetus and abdomen and
hormonal changes cause the hemorrhoidal vessels to enlarge. Delivery also leads to increased intra-abdominal
pressures. Pregnant women rarely need surgical treatment, as symptoms usually resolve after delivery.
