Hemorrhoids in History
The Greeks
Hippocrates wrote some of the earliest medical descriptions of hemorrhoids. The Hippocratic Treatises, written in 460 BC, described hemorrhoids as being caused by “bile or phlegm be determined to the veins of the rectum, it heats the blood in the veins; and being gorged the inside of the gut swells outwardly, and the heads of the veins are raised up, and being at the same time bruised by the faeces passing out, and injured by the blood collected in them, they squirt out blood, most frequently along with the faeces.”

Family doctor: Could medication have caused her bleeding?
Q: Last August, my wife had a routine blood test ordered by her cardiologist. She was found to have a very high potassium level, so the doctor prescribed Kionex powder to be taken twice a week. ........The third day after the initial bleeding attack, she had another. I wasn’t there but was notified. I was told the only course of action was to operate to locate the source of the bleeding. She went into surgery later that evening. I was told that they had to do a complete colostomy.
I question the use of the Kionex powder

The Hemorrhoid and The Student a cautionary tale
Hemorrhoids present a special hell for the student for obvious reasons not least of which is the general the predisposition of most students to be sitting on their butts 99.9% of the time. You may ask yourself why me? What did I do to bring this itchy bleeding painfully embarrassing illness upon myself? You may even find your self drifting downstream from self pity to envy of others with more romantic maladies such as aids or leprosy.
Take heart young scholar surgery is always available as a last resort (not to be tried at home). The garden variety case of ROIDS (hemorrhoids) can be kept under control with your garden variety Roid Cream available over the counter at your local Apothecary. As an added bonus after you have finished applying it to your rectum you can spread it around your eyes and it will make crows feet fly away.
Now why did you catch this nasty case of hemorrhoids in the first place. Well let me make one thing perfectly clear, you can’t catch hemorrhoids from a toilet seat. But if you spend too much time on the throne it could cause pressure in your veins and that could lead to yes……..THE BIG RED ROID.
OR IT Could be diet, if you are feeding yourself you are probably not getting enough of what you need and too much of what you should only have after living a long full life. Which you may do if you start eating right.

Hemorrhoids and Pregnancy
Hemorrhoids are just one of the delights of pregnancy. Pregnancy also makes you more prone to varicose veins in the legs and vulva. As your uterus grows it increases pressure on pelvic veins and also the very large vein responsible for bringing blood up from the lower extremities. Pressure on these veins impedes the passage of blood from the lower body, this in turn ramps up pressure on those veins found below your uterus and they become swollen and dilated.
Another connection between pregnancy and hemorrhoids is our old friend Mr. Constipation. Constipation is quite common in pregnancy and it can result in hemorrhoids if you push too hard. Take a break and go for a walk.
And finally Progesterone, a hormone which is in abundance during pregnancy, encourages hemorrhoids by causing constipation by slowing down the digestion and by relaxing your veins and permitting them to swell .

Great Dates in Hemorrhoid History
2250 BC Code of King Hammurabi of Babylon described the symptoms of hemorrhoids
The Hemorrhoid in Science
Hemorrhoids (AmE), haemorrhoids (BrE), emerods, or piles are swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. The anatomical term "hemorrhoids" technically refers to "'Cushions of tissue filled with blood vessels at the junction of the rectum and the anus."[1] However, the term is popularly used to refer to varicosities of the hemorrhoid tissue.
