Every year, nearly 10 million people in the United States suffer from hemorrhoids, but far too many feel too embarrassed to talk about it or get help. Did you know up to 75% of all adults will experience hemorrhoids at some point, and 50% of people over age 50 have them right now?
In this video, Dr. John Chuback, board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, breaks the silence and explains what hemorrhoids really are, why they form, who’s at risk, and most importantly — how to treat them and get relief.
What You’ll Learn:
* The difference between internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids
* The 4 stages of hemorrhoids and what each stage means
* Common hemorrhoid symptoms — burning, itching, swelling, rectal bleeding
* Major risk factors: chronic constipation, low-fiber diet, straining, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, obesity, aging
* Best at-home treatments: high-fiber diet, fiber supplements, sitz baths, ointments, witch hazel pads
* Natural supplements that may help: MPFF (micronized purified flavonoid fraction), horse chestnut seed extract
* Office procedures & surgeries: rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, stapled hemorrhoidectomy, laser hemorrhoidectomy, traditional surgical removal
* When rectal bleeding might be a sign of something more serious — and when to see a doctor immediately
Hemorrhoids are common, but you don’t have to suffer forever.
With the right mix of diet, hygiene, supplements, and medical care, you can get real relief.
