Two of the most shameful disorders

This week I will discuss two shameful disorders that everyone may have heard from.  It involves the diseases hemorrhoids and varicose veins. I will discuss the causes and the treatment of the diseases.

Hemorrhoids

Piles (haemorrhoids) are not varicose veins, as sometimes thought. Hemorrhoids are caused by a swelling of the lining of the anus. Basically everyone has hemorrhoids: they are small cavernosa in the rectum to ensure that there is no relief leaking from the anus. The complaint may cause various side effects such as itching or blood loss. Sometimes the complaint can also be felt as lumps around the anus. The complaint is generally caused by engorgement with hard stools (hard stools or hard presses). A good bowel movement is important to prevent hemorrhoids.

Varicose veins

Varicose veins can be caused by many factors. Some (such as a congenital instance), you have no influence, but others do! 

These are the five main causes:

• Many women get varicose veins if they are pregnant.  Another cause is hormone fluctuations that can affect the appearance of varicose veins.
• Your profession:
  Especially when you have prolonged sitting or standing, the risk of varicose veins increases.
• Overweight
  Many excess pounds add extra pressure on the valves so that varicose veins can occur.
• Lack of exercise
  When the muscles get too little action, the veins have little incentive to drain the blood up
