Abdominal tumors and probably even being overweight can contribute to the pressure problems. Constipation and poor bowel habits are a major factor in causing hemmorrhoids. The pressure during forceful bowel movements really balloons out the elastic veins. This is a tip then on what you can do to avoid them. Maintain good bowel habits, avoid, ing laxatives and stool straining.

For more information on this aspect of hemorrhoids, write to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Station, New York, 10019 and ask for the booklet on hemorrhoids. Send 50 cents to cover costs. Never overlook the possibility that pressure from a cancer of the rectum above the hemorrhoids may cause them to appear. Everyone who develops hemorrhoids or who has rectal bleeding must have an examination.

If it is more serious than just hemorrhoids, early diagnosis and treatment can be lifesaving. ENTIRE STOCK OF WINTER SNOWSUITS SKI JACKETS COATS DRESSES DEAR DR, LAMB -My hus-band has just had his second hemorrhoidectomy i 20 years. We know other people who are hemorrhoid sufferers and are wondering the following: What are hemorrhoids? What causes them? Why do they sometimes recur after surgical removal aqd what can be done to prevent them? Im sure if you answer these questions you will enlighten many of us as hemorrhoids are quite a problem for so many people, DEAR READER -Hemorrhoids are nothing more than dilated veins around the rectum. They are just like varicose veins of the legs except for their location. There are gerierally two types of hemorrhoids, the ex-t a 1 type, outside the sphincter, andi the internal type inside the sphincter.

The outside ones cause pain, itching and discomfort. The worst problem comes when a small clot forms in the dilated vein. A clot is called a thrombus so these are called thrombosed hemorrhoids or thrombosed piles. Sometimes these need to be lanced and drained, but usually they go away on their own after causing the discomfort. The small scarred tag of tissue left behind may be a pcrsiblent source of itching.

The internal hemorrhoids may not cause any symptoms, but they can bleed silently, in small or large amounts. Trying to answer what causes hemorrhoids is a bit like answering what causes varicose veins. In general anything that increases the pressure inside the thin-walled veins may cause them to dilate excessively and become sac-like structures. Being below the heart is one cause of increased pressure. It is no accident that dilated veins are in the legs, around the rectum and, in men, within the scrotum (vari-coele).

You dont see people with dilated veins in the head because the head is above the heart, and there is little or no pressure inside the thin veins in the head region. You dont see hemorrhoids in animals where the rectum is above the heart, as in most four-footed grazing animals. Part of the problem, then goes back to our being upright animals. Pressure around the rectum distending the veins can also be caused by childbirth, and many women will have hemorrhoid problems after preg- 59 Baby (Mc LiverLbl Cube Steak Lb.
