Diagnostic Procedures for Hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are grouped into 4 stages. Stage I - Internal hemorrhoids that bleed; Stage II - Internal hemorrhoids that cause bleeding and prolapse with straining but return to their resting point by themselves; Stage III - Internal hemorrhoids that bleed and prolapse with straining and require manual effort for replacement into the anal canal; Stage IV - Internal hemorrhoids that do not return into the anal canal and are therefore constantly outside.

Routine histologic examination of hemorrhoidal tissue is usually unrewarding, especially if it is grossly examined by an experienced anorectal surgeon. Any suspicious tissue must be sent for microscopic evaluation. External hemorrhoids are classified by underlying pathology and symptoms, which include thrombosed veins, bleeding from eroded blood clots, and skin tags causing hygiene problems.

Examination begins with inspection and examination of the entire perianal area. Warn the patient before any probing or poking. Because patient apprehension is great prior to any anal examination, go to great lengths to reassure the patient. Gentle spreading of the buttocks allows easy visualization of most of the anoderm; this includes the distal anal canal. Anal fissures and perianal dermatitis (pruritus ani) are easily visible without internal probing.

Note the location and size of skin tags and the presence of thromboses. Normal corrugation of the anoderm and a normal anal wink with stimulation confirms intact sensation. Digital examination of the anal canal can identify any indurated or ulcerated areas. Be sure to palpate the prostate in all men. Because internal hemorrhoids are soft vascular structures, they are usually not palpable.

Anoscopy is mandatory for viewing internal hemorrhoids. The anoscope should be a side-viewing one. When angled well by the examiner, the side-viewing anoscope allows the soft hemorrhoidal tufts to fill the beveled end of the scope and to be appropriately evaluated. Prolapse can be observed when the patient performs a Valsalva maneuver. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is performed to exclude proximal disease.

Having a patient strain while sitting on a toilet may reproduce prolapse most accurately. Examining patients while they sit on a toilet can be very helpful in indeterminate cases. Colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy, and barium enema are reserved for cases of bleeding without an identified anal source. These symptoms are not attributable to hemorrhoids.

Because it is believed that straining and a low-fiber diet cause hemorrhoidal disease, conservative treatment includes increasing fiber and liquid intake and retraining in toilet habit. Decreasing straining and constipation shrinks internal hemorrhoids and decreases their symptoms; therefore, first-line treatment of all first- and second-degree (and many third- and fourth-degree) internal hemorrhoids should include measures to decrease straining and constipation.

Many patients see improvement or complete resolution of their symptoms with the above conservative measures. Aggressive therapy is reserved for patients who have persistent symptoms after 1 month of conservative therapy. Treatment is directed solely at symptoms and not at the appearance of the hemorrhoids.

Many patients have been referred for surgery because they have severely swollen prolapsed hemorrhoids or very large external skin tags. Remind them that their hemorrhoids do not bother anyone else, and they should opt for aggressive treatment only when symptoms become bothersome. This treatment demands specialized equipment and training with risk.

Dietary supplementation is an attractive addition to the traditional treatment of hemorrhoids with ointments and creams. Use of these supplements help prevent the onset of the disease, while also fighting recurrence of the disorder. Application of HemorrhoidBalm-Rx and oral supplementation with AntiHemorrhoidDrops are two methods able to prevent time-consuming, painful, and expensive medical treatment for hemorrhoids.

Over the years, we have analyzed thousands of medicinal plant substances finding and blending those which exhibit maximum therapeutic activity without causing adverse effects in order to create the optimum remedies for specific human ailments. Our research includes both extracts and pure compounds from herbal medicines as reported in laboratory studies, as well as our own independent trials.

We have identified a significant number of naturally occurring small molecules, including phenolics, polyphenols, terpenes, and flavonoids which have incredible systemic action, used medicinally to treat venous insufficiency, and heavily concentrated in HemorrhoidBalm-Rx and AntiHemorrhoidDrops.

Will a handheld digital camera work with a compound microscope.?

I only need to get a semi-clear picture of it to study. the digital camera is a Hp photosmart E427 6.0 megapixels

Just hold your camera againat the eyepiece and press the shutter. You should be able to take a picture. If you don't want to have the black ring of the eyepiece, zoom it in. If you prefer to crop the picture, you can zoom out then crop out of the eye piece ring. A better way to do is the use a camera adapter like Celestron 93626 universal camera adapter (work with telescope too). Attached the camera to the tripod then attach the adapter to the eyepiece. You want to turn the flash light off. If you use the adapter that I suggested, you can use shutter timer. You will get a better picture with shutter timer. See the source for the illustration about how to take photo through a microscope.
