Diverticulosis is the presence of multiple diverticula (a herniation through the muscular wall of a tubular organ), a condition where the inner lining layer of the large intestine protrudes out through the outer muscular layer. Diverticulitis is an inflammation of diverticula in the digestive tract (especially the colon), characterized by painful Abdominal Cramping, Fever and Constipation.

The colon weakens with age and chances of developing diverticula increase with advancing age. As the pressure inside the colon increases, especially due to Constipation, it causes pea shaped pouches in the intestinal wall.

Support for your sensitive areas

The anus is a sensitive structure. While most of us never give this area a second thought, it plays a vital role in everyday activities. While we spend most of our time on our feet rushing around, every time we sit down, we put pressure on the anal area.

Furthermore, the larger we are in body weight, the more pressure we put on this area when we sit down. Internally, occasional common Constipation can put pressure on the anal passage and venal structures therein.

Soothing relief…

We might not think of the anal area as a place where Circulation is important, but skin, veins and capillaries in the tissues surrounding the anal opening need a healthy supply of oxygen-rich blood as much as our other body structures do.

The skin surrounding the anus is particularly sensitive and can become irritated at the slightest provocation. This can then make the simple task of sitting on a hard surface or the more difficult task of passing hardened stool extremely uncomfortable.

All about the colon

The main function of the colon is to absorb water and minerals from ingested food and to form and eliminate feces. The colon contains different types of bacteria to aid digestion, promote vital nutrient production, maintain pH (acid-base) balance, and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. The process of digestion from ingestion to defecation normally takes 12 to 24 hours if the colon is fully functional and non-toxic.

How Your Immunity Can Change the ‘Five-Second-Floor Rule’

Most people are familiar with the old saying that food is safe to eat for five seconds after being dropped on the floor. Since there are just informal studies disproving this now so-called fallacy, it is pretty unlikely that you will contract a serious bout of food borne illness from eating that fallen food… that is, unless the surface it was dropped on contains E. coli or a similar strain of harmful bacterial microorganisms.

Hemorrhoids treatment can be external or internal or both together depending on the nature of the Hemorrhoids.

What are external Hemorrhoids

External Hemorrhoids are swollen areas of skin and blood vessels around the anus. They are highly innervated and sensitive and are also at risk for thrombosis. They develop around the external opening of the anus. It is usually very painful as the skin around them is very sensitive. Most of the times, they are just bothersome protrusions, which make hygiene and personal care very difficult. Many a times external Hemorrhoids develop a clot inside of them. This happens often after a period of Diarrhea or Constipation. In such cases, it produces a firm and painful swelling or lump around the rim of the anus.
