The second degree - internal hemorrhoids protrude on defecation but returns spontaneously thereafter. Here, use of rubber band ligation could be used. The procedure consist of tying base of an internal hemorrhoid to cut off its circulation. About ten days later, hemorrhoids painlessly fall off.

The third degree piles are protrusion seen outside anus. Fourth degree piles are those irreducible and remain persistently prolapsed. For both of these types of piles, surgery is needed. You can expect a lot of pain and discomfort at lower part of anal canal as here skin is richly innervated with nerve fibers.

Now, there's an alternative to painful surgery with a procedure called 'Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy'. Here a cuff of rectal mucous membrane and hemorrhoidal tissue is excised above sensitive part of anal canal, using a stapling instrument. It does not leave a large or raw wound, hence less painful.

This procedure is more expensive but has become popular over last three years. However, it cannot be performed on all cases of hemorrhoids such as external hemorrhoid and those with excessive skin tags.

Piles are preventable and symptoms can be controlled if managed at an early stage without resorting to medication or surgery. A diet high in fiber can prevent constipation and excessive straining associated with it. My advice is to start now, unless you want to accumulate "a pile of misery" any time soon!.

MSM may be safe for consumption, but I don’t know that FDA has officially labeled it as safe for consumption as of yet. We do know that it is found naturally in foods such as coffee, tea, milk and eggs as well as green leafy vegetables. MSM does naturally occur in body and it is not considered toxic and may be comparable to water in its toxicity. If you are concerned about dosages of MSM, refer to directions on labeling and packaging that MSM comes in. I used to take 1,000 mg. two times a day, with no side affects. My experience with MSM was one of increased energy. That is, of course, a subjective experience, but it was very real to me. Another benefit to MSM is that it is supposed to make you recover faster from working out. It might do that by getting rid of waste products inside muscle quicker, this allows soreness to disappear.

Get More Information To find out more from a truly worthy source, go to any technical library and read patent research on MSM. There are actually several patents associated with MSM and I gained a great deal from taking time to read them.
