Common Office Treatments for Hemorrhoids

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

hemorrhoids are common problem, and as such there are a variety of treatments available depending on hemorrhoids’ severity, the expense you can afford, and how effective they are. Whether or not a particular treatment will work for a particular patient depends as well on whether or not the patient’s values support it. In general, office treatments used for hemorrhoids today are infrared photocoagulation, sclerotherapy, bicap coagulation, rubber band ligation, and, occasionally, cryotherapy.

Rubber band ligation is utilized treatment for second-degree internal hemorrhoids and usually an outpatient treatment. In this treatment, a small band is bounded to the base of the hemorrhoid thus impeding the circulation of blood supply to the hemorrhoidal mass.

It takes about two to seven days for the hemorrhoids, now shriveled, to dry up and die. Eventually, the hemorrhoids themselves, along with the rubber band, will simply fall off during normal defecation. This has a short recovery period, and rubber band ligation is also the most popular method of hemorrhoid removal because there’s little pain and no surgery involved.

With infrared photocoagulation, infrared radiation created by the coagulator clots tissue protein and evaporates the water from the cells. How extensive the treatment is is measured by how intensely and for how long the infrared radiation is applied. This also decreases blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue, but it is not effective for particularly large hemorrhoids or prolapsed tissue. Therefore, it’s most effective to treat Grade I or just into Grade II hemorrhoids. It’s more popular than rubber band ligation for hemorrhoidal treatment because it’s not as painful as rubber band ligation is.

Whether in the operating room or in the office, bipolar coagulation is generally the treatment of choice if precise coagulation needed. That’s because it penetrates less than the standard monopular cautery does, and it utilizes the same treatment theory such as that used by rubber band ligation or infrared photocoagulation. That is, the bicap probe is placed upon the apex of the hemorrhoid and left there for 10 minutes. It’s not especially effective for patients who have poor tolerance for pain, or for sitting still for that long; if patients don’t finish the session, its effect is reduced.

With the birth of rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy or also known as injection therapy is less used nowadays but it was a common treatment for hemorrhoids in the past. In the treatment, sclerosant (an irritating substance) is injected in the hemorrhoid to decrease vascularity and increasing fibrosis. Theoretically, like the other treatments, this will decrease blood circulating into the mass. Substances injected have customarily been sodium morrhuate or quinine urea.

As with other office treatments, the hemorrhoid is first located using an anoscope and then these substances injected at the mass’ apex, at the near anal rectal ring. Usually, this is not going to result in bleeding or other complications, but you may experience a dull ache after you’ve had this procedure for about a day or two.

Cryotherapy has been out of favor, as has sclerotherapy, with the advent of rubber band ligation. Previously, it was thought that freezing the apex of the anal canal would reduce anal cushion vascularity and induce fibrosis. However, the treatment causes a very unpleasant-smelling discharge, and it’s also quite painful. In addition, because it’s quite slow to heal, most medical practitioners have quit using it.

Should You Be Getting Anxious over Anxiety Depression?

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Many people who burn the candle at both ends exhaust not only their physical strength, but they also tend to over extend their mental powers to the point where they obviously need some old fashioned relaxation.

A lot of busy people who are unable to understand the idea of relaxing and taking time of from work, as well as from their worries, have nervous breakdowns, anxiety depression and all sorts of mental illnesses that cause a person’s sanity to alter. Fortunately, if you are one of those who is unable to relax and who is constantly worried and fussing over things, there are several cures and treatments available for dealing with anxiety depression.

Anxiety depression is actually characterized by all sorts of irregular behaviour and erratic moods in the person who is suffering from it. This is usually due to specific stress triggers. Also, many people who tend to get easily worked up over stressful activities are actually prone to having anxiety depression. It is actually a matter of being strong-willed when it comes to facing difficult and stress-prone activities. It may be pretty hard to do at first, but trying to be calm and cool in times of extreme pressure is what will actually save your mental health from going into a downward spiral.

When it comes to effectively curing oneself of a mental illness, one must keep in mind that one has to be honest with oneself and assess what kind of depression or mental illness one actually has. Go to a reputable psychiatrist to get yourself diagnosed correctly as well to get the right depression treatment. Here are the various types of depression:

Manic or Bipolar depression - characterized by sudden and extreme changes in one’s mood where one minute the sufferer is in an elevated state of euphoria while the next minute (day or week) the sufferer is in a private hell.

Postpartum depression - is recognizable by long periods of sadness and a feeling of emptiness in a new mother where physical stress during child delivery and / or an uncertain sense of responsibility towards the new born baby are just some of the many factors why some new mothers go through this illness.

Dysthimia - is recognizable by a perfunctory similarity with bipolar manic) depression. In this case, however, it has been proven to be a lot less severe, although, doctors say that, any case of depression should be treated immediately.

Cyclothemia - is recognizable by a similarity with Manic or Bipolar depression wherein the individual suffering from this mental disease may occasionally suffer from severe mood swings.

Seasonal Affective Disorder - characterized by falling into a rut only in specific seasons (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall). Studies, however, prove that more people become depressed during the Winter and Fall seasons and lastly, mood swings, wherein a person’s mood may shift from happy to sad to angry in just a short period of time.

But the type of depression that has actually been proven to be most common among people is anxiety depression, which is actually characterized by the state of being overly anxious about things. Anxiety is a normal behaviour that’ll actually help a person cope more with certain stressful activities like a first date or a gruelling exam the following day. Anxiety actually helps you get psyched up towards facing certain “difficult situations”; anxiety therefore is actually a good thing.

Anxiety depression however, is just the opposite, but it should not be dismissed as a “case of the nerves”. Anxiety depression is in actuality an illness that can be caused from the biological make-up of an individual, or in other words, it can be an hereditary illness.

Moreover, there are even various kinds of anxiety depression too. Each one has its own unique characteristics. Take for instance Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD. This kind of anxiety depression is a lot more complicated than the normal, common or garden anxiety depression, in spite of it probably being a daily routine for those who suffer from this anxiety depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder actually makes the individual much more paranoid than usual. Anxiety attacks are much more frequent, even absurdly so at times.

Suffers can become anxious even when there is no real explanation that calls for them to behave in such a way. Those people suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder often show a lot of characteristics ranging from from lack of sleep, to being unable to relax, becoming tired easily, inability to concentrate and suffering from depression. However, this kind of anxiety depression is still curable though.

Consult a reputable cognitive behavioural therapist who will give you the therapy that you need to help you loosen up. Furthermore, prescribed medicines are a must to help sufferers combat anxiety attacks, help them calm down and help them relax.

The Link Between Anger and Depression

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Depression and anxiety are without doubt the causes of uncontrolled anger. When a person is constantly worried about problems they have no control over or even problems they do have control over, it very often can cause depression. If you feel that, there is no way out then your depression can affect your life and cause you to sink into a spiral of despair.

Taking control of your emotions usually produces good results. If you feel that the world is falling down around your ears, then you are almost definitely thinking negatively, which brings on depression and anxiety. In this short piece, we will discuss some techniques to empower you to cope with anxiety and depression, thus relieving uncontrollable anger.

First, let’s take a look at the symptoms. Do you feel like you are going out of your mind? Do you shout in your head: ‘I cannot take it any more?’. Do you feel like someone is out to get you? Do you think people see you as a crazy person? If you are suffering from any or all of these symptoms or thoughts then you are probably suffering from anxiety and depression.

If you can not find a way to think in a different mode~way, then you will probably explode when your emotions start to soar and your anger bursts forth. Instead of telling yourself that you are going mad, why not tell yourself that you are only having a temporary emotional problem and that you need to solve the problem. Review all the problem areas carefully and search your memory to see if there are answers to your problems there. Reviewing like this, often opens doors to resources you may have overlooked.

If you feel like someone is out to get you then you might have a chemical imbalance or a mental illness. Why not go to see your doctor or a mental health expert to learn more about the symptoms and find a way to regain control of your life. Anxiety and depression can play tricks with your mind but sometimes the thoughts are the result of a chemical imbalance.

If you think that people think you are going crazy, you may want to remember that most people have their own problems and don’t have the time nor the incliation to worry about you as a person. When you walk into a room and think that people are staring at you, you might want to remember that all people watch the things around them, checking to make sure that their surroundings are all right before returning to their own lives.

If you feel like you cannot take it any longer, pick up your knapsack and walk another mile. When times are difficult, it does not mean it is the end of the world, although sometimes it may seem this way. If you are struggling to pay bills, fighting to hold a family together, or having problems with your kids then remember we all have these problems at some time in our lives.

Are your children driving you out of your mind? If they are, take time out. Go and do something entertaining or some exercise. This very often relieves the stresses that lead to anxiety, depression and anger. Life is just too short to worry about the things in life that you do not have control over. If you have problems, the answers lie within you, so it pays to look into your head.

If you are really struggling to reach your goals then you might want to break them down into smaller more realistic segments and work patiently to achieve them. If you set goals that are within reason, you will not need to get stressed outfinding a way to achieve them.

It is important to pamper yourself each day. Learn some coping techniques that will benefit both your mind and your body. If you feel snowed under, you might want to take deep breaths ten times.

Curling up on a couch and watching a favorite movie can benefit your mind and yourbody, if you want to let your thoughts wander. However, learn to focus on what you are doing instead of worrying about what you are not doing. This often clears the mind and helps you to relax.

If you are subject to unbridled anger, you will most probably have problems for the remainder of your life unless you learn to master your emotions. Remember that depression leads to uncontrollable anger.
