Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid – Conflicting Views
March 10th, 2010    Subscribe To Our FeedThrombosed external hemorrhoid, or TEH for short, has long troubled both medical experts and sufferers alike. A quick lookback over the last hundred years or so would leave one in no doubt of the incredible advances made in medical science. As a consequence, one would expect that TEH, being generally classified as non-life threatening, would be a very straightforward medical condition with long established diagnostic and treatment methods. Curiously, as we begin a new decade in 2010, it is very surprising to learn that the experts continue to debate several controversies about TEH. Hundreds of hypotheses presented in all manner of medical research journals point to the need for conclusive studies.
It is no surprise then that thrombosed external hemorrhoid sufferers have to cope with clashing assessments when they seek the advice of a medical professional and be met with a overwhelming collection of treatment procedures and medicines. The therapy recommended by your doctor will probably be influenced by the prevailing view of the day, his personal experience in terms of training and actual TEH consultation. A TEH patient can be forgiven for empathizing with the proverbial guinea pig, especially since TEH is generally seen as an ordinary ailment. It is never the intent here to cast aspersions on medical science, merely acceptance of one of those things in life, something like the common cold.
Basic Controversy
The primary thrombosed external hemorrhoid argument to be investigated is its etiology (US spelling) or aetiology (US spelling), the clinical term for the cause of a disease. Seen from any perspective, the controversy will not be any more elemental! Absolute certainty of the cause of TEH continues to elude modern medicine due to the intricate makeup of human anatomy.
Not unexpectedly, a vacillating list of contributory causal factors is circulating. Gebbensleben, Hilger and Rohde combed through 187 research papers on TEH spanning more than 40 years (Dec 1958 to Jan 2004), journal reference lists, standard textbooks and applied their own medical knowledge as practitioners before narrowing down the published etiological factors of thrombosed external hemorrhoid to 38.
Spanning the months from Mar 2004 to Aug 2005, an uncommon prospective cohort study was taken on by the 3 TEH practitioners, involving 148 individuals comprised of females and males from the ages of 16 to 80, 76 without TEH and 72 with TEH. As suggested by its name, a prospective cohort study is forward-looking and focused on a group of people with similar characteristics (the cohort) but differing in the factors being studied. Such a research method is superior to a retrospective cohort study where all the factors being studied had already taken place.
38 Etiological Factors
The thirty-eight etiological or causal determinants contributing to thrombosed external hemorrhoid fingered by researchers from 1958 to 2004 can be separated into 2 batches -
(1) Gender, nationality, housewife, worker, employee, self-employed, assumption to have hemorrhoids, prior anal surgery, hard bowels, diarrhea, use of laxatives, straining at defecation, sitting on cold surfaces, lifting a heavy load, coughing, sneezing, spicy meals, pregnancy, use of wet wipes or shower after defecation and menses;
(2) use of soaps and gels after defecation, frequency of genital cleaning before sleep, use of dry toilet paper after defecation combined with wet cleaning, frequency of shower use, use of dry toilet paper only, frequency of bathtub use, ano-receptive sex, pregnancy, recent alcohol intake, excessive physical effort, sports, career as trainee, retirement, civil servant, body mass index (BMI) and age.
Despite including many common factors, thrombosed external hemorrhoid has no meaningful statistical relation to Group 1. Consequent to discovering statistical correlation of Group 2 factors to TEH, the researchers turned their attention to the effects of these factors on the 148-member cohort. Somewhat disappointingly, the original 38 suspected factors, filtered down to 16 eventually became further distilled down to 6 that could predict TEH with some accuracy.
Age 46 or younger, use of excessive physical effort and use of dry toilet paper combined with wet cleaning methods after defecation are the three Group 2 factors discovered to correctly forecast the higher risk of TEH occurence. The three factors significantly connected to the lower occurence of thrombosed external hemorrhoid include use of shower, use of bathtub and genital cleaning before sleep at least once weekly.
According to the researchers, the results confirm the inclusion of these 6 factors in any study of TEH etiology (causes), prophylaxis (prevention) and optimal therapy (surgical or non-surgical treatment). Fact or fiction, real or imagined, that is the question that the researchers believe must be applied to all risk factors. Regardless, several rather than one major risk factor is believed to cause TEH.
Alternatives
The study, whilst conceded by the researchers as narrow in scope, serves the very useful purpose of highlighting the multitudinous decisions faced by anyone afflicted by thrombosed external hemorrhoid. It is no wonder that laypersons may hear very different diagnosis from medical professionals, given the extent of the controversy (38 possible causes culled from 187 research papers produced over 40 years!). No intention should be alluded here that proper medical advice is a waste of time. Perhaps, just maybe, it is the time to re-consider the role of alternative medicine.
The H Miracle is one such alternative treatment method that is very popular. Put together by a former hemorrhoid sufferer, it has found many supporters. Its popularity is attributable to the recommended remedies being natural as opposed to pharmaceutical. Without fail, the key attraction is that of thrombosed external hemorrhoid sufferers endorsing that H Miracle is a permanent and lasting answer.

Handling Endometriosis and Pregnancy - Incurable But Pregnancy Remains Possible
March 7th, 2010    Subscribe To Our FeedPregnancy and Endometriosis - Background
Endometriosis is described as a condition that arises when the tissues that normally line the uterine walls attach themselves to the organs outside of the uterus or grow. During menstruation, the uterual lining is shed as per normal, but the portion growing outside the uterus remains. During ovulation and menstruation, the uterual tissue growing externally is aggravated continuously. It might get torn, disintegrate and bleed. This aggravation causes the formation of scar tissue and produces discomfort.
The Endometriosis Research Center says that there are more than 7 million recorded cases of endometriosis among women in the United States. It is a leading cause of infertility, gynecologic surgeries and chronic pelvic pain.
What Leads To Endometriosis?
Presently, the cause of endometriosis remains unknown, but experts have suggested a few possible reasons. Recent studies point that the condition may be genetic.
Symptoms
Common symptoms of endometriosis would include, chronic pelvic pain, pain in the lower back, dysmenorrhea, irregalur or heavy breathing, and fatigue. Women can also expect to feel some discomfort while passing stools, some gastro intestinal problems like constipation and diarrhea, and even pain while ovulation or having sexual intercourse. In severe cases, endometriosis can lead to infertility.
Diagnosis
The only sure method to diagnose endometriosis is through surgery. Other laboratory and diagnostic tests like ultrasound, CAT scans, or MRIs do not normally lead to conclusive results. The doctor would need to look into the symptoms being felt, as well as the patient’s health history. In trying to diagnose the disease, the doctor may use laparatomy or a laparoscopic procedure.
Endometriosis has yet to find a cure, but doctors suggest certain methods of treatment to help with its management.
Treatment
Methods to manage endometriosis include:
Pain Medication
Medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen and aspirin, which are available over-the-counter, are used to decrease discomfort and pain. It this does not work, one may need to take prescription drugs.
Hormonal Drug Therapy
Hormone drugs can be used to block a patient’s ovulation. The objective here is to prevent further aggravation of the lesions and guard against the onset of other symptoms. These drugs cover GnRH agonists, progesterone drugs, and oral contraceptives. Hormone therapy is used especially for patients who have undergone surgery.
Surgery
Conservative surgical procedures such as the laparotomy and laparoscopy are conducted by doctors to determine the diagnosis and to remove abnormal growths. If this succeeds, it could help eliminate the pain and even raise the woman’s chances of conceiving.
If traditional surgical procedures prove ineffective, doctors have the option to perform a hysterectomy or other more invasive procedures.
Alternative/Natural Therapy
Many patients prefer natural or alternative therapies to medications and surgery. Some of the more popular alternative treatments include Chinese medicine, acupuncture and nutritional therapies such as fertility herbs. There is a significant volume of literature supporting these natural treatments, each promoting wellness while at the same time stimulate the body’s innate healing and defense mechanisms.
