How do I prevent a bed frame from squeaking?

I recently bought a second-hand wooden bed frame. Everything is fine, except that it screams a lot when I move in it (ahem). Any advice to fix the annoying squeak?

Tester101
Is there much movement involved (in the frame)? How do the joints (screws, screws, nails) join?

Tom Squires
If I push it then it has something to give. The joints are joined by a piece of metal with three slots that are inserted in the sides.

Tester101
An image of the joints can help.

Tom Squires
Yes, I probably explained it wrong. I will try to publish one tonight.

Freiheit
(ahem) "move" on the couch, in the kitchen, in the shower, or ...;)

I fixed my metal frame by placing leather patches between the parts that were rubbed. The wooden frame is a bit more complicated: it is not so easy to identify where the pieces are rubbed, but this is the first initial step. I'd say check all the joints and see if you can tighten the bolts or add glue to the moving parts.

Basically, the noise comes from the parts that rub against each other. If you can eliminate the rubbing, or put something between the parts of the brush, that would reduce the noise.

Tom Squires
Paste the joints with PVA possibly?

trailmax
Do not think that PVA will work as a permanent solution, but it will help to identify the problem

chris
You can take some felt or other thick material and cut grooves to pass the metal parts. This will help both to reduce the wood on the noise of the wood and to tighten the joints a little.




loopDev
Most of the time with some wood, it is not the rubbing of the wood that is squeaking, it is its nails, screws, bolts, or what holds them together that touches the wood that squeaks. I would like to surround the frame of your bed and tighten everything. If you find one that does not tighten, you can use some wood glue in the hole to help with the squeaks (if you do not plan to disarm it in the future :))

Does the bed have slats?
I was ready to throw in a divan for being incredibly noisy, but before doing so, I replaced the laths of luxury laminate wood that I used to have with the cheap wooden slats. The chirps stopped immediately. It turns out, the fancy slats were just a little too big, and the ends rubbed against the frame at the slightest provocation, producing the noise.
I am still using the luxury slats in a different bed, where they work perfectly. The point is, neither the bed nor the slats were guilty; The problem was with the combination.

Tom Squires
If I'm using slats

Tester101
@Tom: does the frame squeak when the slats are not in place? I guess most of the noise comes from the rubbing of the slats (this would be especially frequent during the curtains ... "make noise" movements). You can try to coat the ends of the slats with something that reduces friction (baby powder, silicone spray) or try to secure the slats to the rail (so they can not move). Also check the box spring, inexpensive box springs can be very noisy.




Glenn
We have just solved the problem of squeaky slats. We cut strips of those cheap blankets for egg boxes and wrap them in any place where the wooden slats meet the frame of the bed. No more crunches during fun time!

Steven
Did you just wrap the frame in the foam material?




Fiasco laboratories
Bees wax or paraffin. It is likely that your local hardware store has both, since they are used to lubricate the drawer guides in an older carpentry shop.
Tap the board to apply it where the wood is rubbed. Raise the slats and apply them there too.
Beeswax is slightly sticky and will adhere to the metal, so it will probably also work on the hooks of the metal joint.
Then, squeeze everything that is loose in the head and side rails and everything should disappear.





L. Rostron
Every time I pick up boards from the wooden floor, I spray talcum powder (baby) where the tables sit. The same thing happens, although it is much more difficult to reach the shrill areas, wooden stairs. Obviously, it depends on whether you can access the point where the wood meets the wood, but that is the area to "lubricate". Unfortunately, soft woods tend to wear out and then you need to start over.

Spray some WD40 on the metal parts (screws), just do this and it works wonders!

Bed bases that make noises: what is the solution for a bed frame without noise?

Surely it happens almost always: you lie on the bed and the bed frame sounds, you rejoin in the morning and the mattress makes noises again, you move a little to turn around and ... again to grind. If you sleep as a couple, it is likely that he or she has also woken up during the night due to its sound. Why are bedspring making noise ? How to get a box spring without noise?

Silence is very important for rest. That's why our bed should be the solution and not the problem to fall asleep. In this post we will give you some tips and explanations of why your mattress makes noise and what solution you can find.



Ecos Living Solid Wood Platform Bed Frame with Headboard (King)

Why there are sommieres that make noises

There are bases and bed bases that make noises for very different reasons. Noise always tells us that something is loose and generates vibrations with movement.

They can be the legs (most of the time), which are loose or badly screwed .

When a very intensive use of the bed base has been made, perhaps over several years, or has been moved from one side to another for various reasons, the nuts and bolts may be loosened , or else the clamps may be somewhat deformed. It can also happen that our mattress makes noise when we are not using standard size legs suitable for the mattress base or upholstered base, or we place a lot of weight on the mattress frequently.

We can know that the problem is in the legs very easily. Just sit or lie on the bed and another person observe the reaction of the legs and structure. In this case the sound will be accompanied by some instability of the bed frame, so the rest will be complicated and the mattress will tend to move too much.

In this case, the solution may be to screw the legs back to make sure they are firm and do not generate noise. However, if the nuts, clamps or screws are badly worn, they will tend to loosen and your bed frame will continue making noises. In this case we recommend that you buy new bed bases, according to the measurements of your bed base.

Maybe the bed frame you chose was basic, of not much quality

Maybe you bought it to get by or the seller who offered it to you said "they are all the same", that "it's not worth paying more for the same" ... The fact is that there are mattress finishes that favor no noise

For example, if the bed bases are subject to the frame of the steel structure by rubber tips , then better. You are minimizing the sound. What is more expensive? Yes, but it can be justified if what you are looking for is absence of noise.

They can also be the sheets of the bed bases

When the problem is in the slatted sheets , the type of noise we hear may be something different, for example from woods that creak when we move or lie down.

This type of sound is a clear indicator that we need to renew our bed base , since it is likely that some of the sheets are damaged, are about to break or have been left loose.

The slatted sheets were not manufactured before now, they are protected with layers of lacquer, epoxy or are finished with anti-moisture vinyl, and they protect them from humidity and temperature changes that favor the sheets are losing flexibility.

Sleeping in this type of mattress does not guarantee the stability and tranquility you need to enjoy a good rest, so you should not wait another day to change base or bed base. In addition, not having a base or mattress in conditions can affect the useful life of your mattress , being on a less rigid and unstable basis.

And it may be that your floor is uneven

Sometimes we can go crazy looking for that sheet that makes the noise, or that has been damaged ... and what happens is that the ground is uneven. This also happens a lot with the canapés: my canapé makes noise! , and after a mounting team arrives at the user's house ... we realize that the problem is on the floor: if the support points of the sofa -also in the case of the mattress- are not at the same height, the base limps, and by forcing the point or the points of support to reach the ground, the structure, the perimeter is forced, and makes noise.

How to take better care of your mattress to prevent it from deteriorating?

There are box springs that begin to make noises shortly after buying them. And the problem is that we have subjected them to a weight for which they are not adapted, perhaps because we are using an inadequate type of mattress or because they are low resistant beds that are not prepared for certain types of mattresses and people of a certain physical complexion.

One of the ways to prevent your mattress from deteriorating in a short time is to make sure that you choose a good combination of mattress and mattress for the person who will sleep in it. Also try not to put too much weight on the mattress too often. In this way both your mattress and your mattress can have a perfect coupling and you can take better care of both one and the other.

In Colchones.es we try to help you choose the most suitable mattress base or base for your mattress . If you are tired of the mattresses that make noises and you are also going to buy a new mattress in our store, you will see that below the description we suggest some bed bases or recommended bases to use with that mattress.

When do I change the mattress and what mattress without noise do I need?

The materials do not last forever, this must never be forgotten. When you notice that your mattress is making noises and shows clear signs of having lost rigidity and stability , it is time to change the mattress.

For those who do not want to have noise problems with the legs , a fixed sofa without legs is the most appropriate, since it is attached to the floor, so it is the most comfortable and avoid those uncomfortable noises that make us wake up when we least expect it.

However, it is true that canapés can be more expensive, so if you do not want to spend too much, it is true that there is also a wide variety of steel frame upholstered bases and bases , high strength and great rigidity with a long life that will allow us to sleep without our bed making noise.

For those who prefer an upholstered base, Flex's breathable Tapiflex base offers great durability, stability and strength. It also has a double structure with 5 reinforcing metal crossbeams and is ideal to combine with spring mattresses, so it can be a solution for you if you are tired of your bedspring making noises.

Head and Shoulders, Shampoo, Anti Dandruff, Clinical Strength, 13.5 fl oz, Twin Pack

There are a variety of natural remedies that can help you solve your scalp problems, some of which you might even find in your closet. These simple home remedies include sodium bicarbonate, lemon, garlic and salt, among others. But before going into details about the treatment of dandruff, let's first analyze what this irritating and embarrassing scalp disorder is.

What is dandruff?

Dandruff is a very common skin condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, sex or race. Despite its prevalence, there are still a number of people who do not know what it looks like.

In general, dandruff manifests as greasy scales of skin 1 that become more visible on dark clothing. In the scalp, it could also occur in the form of scaly patches on the skin that are sometimes accompanied by redness or swelling. two

Some people often confuse the dryness of the scalp with dandruff, thinking that both conditions of the skin are the same. Keep in mind that these scalp disorders are not synonymous even though they have the same symptoms of scaling and itching on the skin. 3 These are the subtle but significant differences between dandruff and scalp dryness:

•     Dandruff can develop due to excessive production of fat, while dry scalp is caused by lack of moisture in the skin.
•     The scales that come from the dry scalp are whiter compared to those of dandruff, which generally have yellowish or grayish colors.
•     Because dry scales are smaller compared to dandruff, they are much easier to remove from the scalp.

How to distinguish lice from dandruff

Apart from the dryness in the scalp, another common problem that is often confused with dandruff are lice . These parasitic insects are found on the hair or scalp. They are also characterized by being white spots that are observed in the hair. However, unlike dandruff, these particles are not scales of the hair skin.

The white particles produced by the lice are actually empty eggs, which are commonly known as nits.  In addition, as lice feed on human blood through the scalp, their saliva irritates the skin and causes itching.

Since the symptoms of lice and dandruff are virtually identical, it is easy to see why some people confuse one condition with another. However, the similarities between lice and dandruff end with scaling and itching on the scalp.

It is crucial to know the difference between these two conditions, since they require different methods of treatment. Here are some details to help you differentiate lice from dandruff: 9

•     Nits are usually around 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the scalp, while dandruff is scattered throughout the hair
•     Unlike dandruff, which is detached from the tufts of hair with some shaking, nits are more difficult to remove because they adhere to the hair strand using a sticky substance produced by female lice.
•     Nits have a regular oval shape since they are real eggs, which makes them more proportional compared to dandruff scales.
•     In addition to itching, lice can also cause tingling in the scalp. Dandruff does not cause any tingling sensation.

What causes dandruff?

Dandruff has been linked to a variety of possible causes, including lack of hygiene, stress and inadequate nutrition.

While it is true that there are different factors that could trigger this condition of the scalp, it is important to keep in mind that the real cause of dandruff is actually a fungus similar to yeast called malassezia globosa. This fungus lives on the scalp and feeds on skin oils. 10

Since the fungus Malassezia globosa metabolizes the oils it consumes using an enzyme called lipase, it produces a byproduct called oleic acid, which penetrates the scalp and causes dandruff.

In fact it is normal that there is a small amount of desquamation as the skin cells die to allow the formation of new skin. eleven

However, there are some cases in which a person experiences an abnormally large amount of scaling of the scalp due to one or more underlying problems that can increase the growth of the fungus that is similar to the yeast on the scalp.

Some of the possible underlying problems that can trigger dandruff include:

• Skin conditions
• Certain conditions of the skin, such as seborrheic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis, increase the risk of developing dandruff.
• Neurological diseases
• People with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's are more susceptible to dandruff.
• Irritation by hair products
• The hair products you buy in the supermarket contain a series of chemicals that could irritate your scalp and cause inflammation, itching and peeling.
• Bad eating habits
• Consuming insufficient amounts of foods rich in zinc and B vitamins could lead to the development of dandruff.
• Age
• Although anyone can suffer from dandruff at any age, this skin condition is more common in young adults and middle-aged people.
• Weather
• Cold weather during the winter season could promote the growth of the fungus similar to the yeast that causes dandruff.
• Hormones
• Hormonal changes could affect the natural production of sebum in the scalp. People who suffer a hormonal imbalance are more likely to develop dandruff.

   
Dandruff symptoms that you should keep in mind

There are some telltale signs that can help you determine if you have dandruff or not, and they are usually easy to detect. These symptoms include:

•     Dead skin flakes : one of the first signs of dandruff you might notice are dead skin flakes on your hair and clothing. These scales vary in size, and can be white, yellow or gray.
•     Itchy scalp : Another common symptom of dandruff is itching of the scalp, which is often hard to ignore.
•     Inflammed scalp : It is common for some people to have to deal with redness or swelling of the scalp when they suffer from dandruff. fifteen
•     Eruptions on other parts of the face : Dandruff can also cause rashes on other parts of the face, including eyebrows, nose and ears.

How to get rid of dandruff quickly: Do medicinal shampoos work?

People who want to get rid of dandruff as quickly as possible often resort to medicated shampoos. But are medicinal shampoos really the cure for your scalp problems? First, medicated shampoos are only effective while giving them continuous use-they do not cure dandruff.

This means that you would have to use such a shampoo several times a week in order to see the results, and you are likely to deal with dandruff once you stop using it.

In addition, most of these dandruff shampoos contain antifungal ingredients, such as zinc pyrithione and ketoconazole. Although these substances can be effective in controlling dandruff, they can irritate your scalp with continuous use and cause your hair to become curly and dry.

Other shampoos against dandruff also contain coal tar, which controls dandruff by slowing the regeneration process of skin cells. However, coal tar is a known carcinogen, so it is best to stay away from shampoos that contain this ingredient.

One of the surest ways to quickly get rid of dandruff without using any harmful chemicals is to use salt to exfoliate the scalloped skin of your scalp. Gently massage the salt on your dry scalp before taking a bath to make it easier to remove when rinsing your hair. 17 Always keep in mind that your skin absorbs everything that applies to it, so using natural remedies, such as the following, is always your best option.

Natural treatments against dandruff with proven efficacy

Most people often resort to the use of antidandruff shampoos and conditioners in order to treat this condition, but as mentioned before, these can cause more harm than good. If you want to help eliminate dandruff safely and naturally, here are some tried-and-tested home treatment methods that could work for you:

• Apple Cider Vinegar : To prepare a solution of apple cider vinegar for the treatment of dandruff, dilute a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar in a quarter cup of water.

Place this solution in an atomizer and spray it over your hair and scalp before wrapping your head with a towel. Wait 15 minutes to an hour before rinsing your hair. Using this treatment twice a week helps control dandruff by reducing the excess growth of yeast on the scalp.

• Tea tree oil : Using tea tree oil to treat dandruff is a quick and easy method. Just apply a few drops of tea tree oil to the scalp to reduce itching and excessive oil production. 19 You can also mix a few drops of this oil in your shampoo.

• Coconut oil : Thoroughly massage your scalp with 3 or 5 tablespoons of coconut oil one hour before bathing. 20 This treatment not only helps you to be free of dandruff, but also to make your hair smell good. You could also mix coconut oil with lemon or camphor to achieve better results. twenty-one

Other essential oils you can use to help eliminate dandruff include peppermint oil, eucalyptus, lavender, patchouli, lemongrass, among others. Most of these essential oils are rich in anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce scalp inflammation and fungus. 22

Other natural remedies against dandruff that you should try

Vinegar, coconut oil and essential oils are not the only natural options for curing dandruff. Here are some other home remedies you can try:

• Garlic

Garlic is known as a natural antifungal remedy. You can stop dandruff effectively by just getting rid of the fungus similar to the yeast that causes it. Shred a clove of garlic and rub it gently on the scalp. You can also mix it with honey if you want to decrease the pungent odor it leaves on your hair.

• Sodium bicarbonate

Baking soda is a cheap and effective remedy for dandruff that you can find in your kitchen. Not only does it reduce the scalp fungus, it also makes the hair softer. Moisten your hair before massaging your scalp with a handful of baking soda, and then rinse your head thoroughly with water.

• Aloe vera

Gently rubbing aloe vera fresh on the scalp can help reduce irritation as it has a cooling effect that can soothe the itching caused by dandruff.

• Lemon

The acidity of the lemon helps to balance the pH level of your scalp, which hinders the development of the fungus similar to yeast. Apply two tablespoons of pure lemon juice to the scalp before rinsing. For best results, wash the hair again with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a cup of water.

Preparing your own treatment for dandruff with natural ingredients can seem meticulous and complicated compared to the simple use of an anti-dandruff shampoo, but it is definitely worth the time and effort. If you still want to use an anti-dandruff shampoo, you can choose to make your own.

How to prepare your own anti-dandruff shampoo

The most important element you need to create a homemade shampoo effective against dandruff is aspirin. Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is the active ingredient in most medicinal shampoos. Salicylic acid reduces flaking and releases dead skin to facilitate scalp removal.

Making a homemade shampoo against dandruff is quick and easy. Just crush two aspirin tablets until they turn into a fine powder and then add it to the usual amount of organic shampoo you use each time you wash your hair. Massage this mixture on your hair and let it act for a minute before rinsing it well and wash again only with organic shampoo.

Changes in your diet and lifestyle that can also help prevent dandruff

In addition to learning how to get rid of dandruff, it is also very important to know how to prevent this skin condition to prevent all your treatment efforts from being a waste of time.

Dandruff is usually related to poor nutrition, so you must first begin to correct your eating habits. Be sure to consume foods rich in zinc and vitamin B6, as they help regulate the production of fat on the scalp and keep the skin in good condition. You should also reduce your consumption of sugar and grains since they are known to promote the overgrowth of yeast or fungi.

Going out in the sun more often is another way to prevent dandruff as sunlight prevents fungi from thriving on the scalp. In addition, it increases your vitamin D levels, which helps improve skin conditions.

Stress is one of the most common triggers of dandruff, so it is also important that you learn to manage stress properly . Consider practicing new hobbies and staying away from stressors as much as possible. Finally, take good personal hygiene and avoid using too many hair products to avoid irritation. 2. 3
Patience and natural methods is all that is needed to be free of dandruff

We all know that dandruff is a shameful skin condition, but you should not settle for just using hair chemicals in order to treat this problem as soon as possible.

Getting rid of dandruff requires time, effort and patience to achieve lasting results. The natural remedies that I recommended have proven to be effective, but they may not give you any miraculous results overnight. Most should be used regularly until you notice an improvement.

By employing these holistic treatments with religious perseverance and adopting a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy a life free of dandruff without endangering substances harmful to your body or the environment.

How to grow hair fast

Can I make the hair grow faster?
It is one of the main doubts of the clients who come to the room. I tell you how you can make your hair grow a little faster.

I am unable to list the number of times I have been asked this question. Some repented for having cut their hair, others because they dream of having a mane like Rapunzel. Whatever the reason, we want long hair, and we want it now!

Nature's Bounty Biotin Supplement, Supports Healthy Hair, Skin, and Nails, 10000mcg, 120 Softgels

How does hair growth work?

•     Growth phase (anagen). It is the longest phase, between 3 and 6 years. Hair appears from the hair follicle and grows at a rate of approximately 1 centimeter per month. People who have a better diet and take care of their hair, as well as those with a healthier lifestyle, will see it grow more.
•     Transition phase (catagen). It lasts between 3 and 6 weeks, in which the hair stops growing and the hair bulb -the one that collects all the food and is responsible for making the hair grow faster and stronger-, is separated from the bloodstream. As a result, the hair is no longer fed and stops growing. In this phase we will notice that when combing we "drag" more than one hair without feeling that we have torn it.
•     Rest phase (telogen). Or fall. For 3 months the hair will wait for its moment to separate from our head, either by its own weight or eliminated in a brushing. The end of this cycle coincides with a new hair that springs back and begins the same process again.

False myths

•     Washing your hair daily with anti-hair shampoo will not make your hair grow longer.
•     Make you pigtails pigtails either. What's more, it can be very harmful if excessive pressure is exerted, which can even tear hair and weaken it.
•     Many believe that not drying your hair is better for improving hair growth and health. Big mistake, if you have a lot of hair it is better to dry it. Leaving it wet for many hours is not good for the scalp and, by default, neither for the bulb or root.
•     Cutting hair often will not make you grow faster, although it will look much healthier and stronger.

Habits that work to make your hair grow faster

The secret is in what you apply to the scalp and how you treat your hair:

•     Brushing your hair and scalp twice a day with a flexible natural bristle brush will help your hair grow stronger and healthier. Above all, always do it before washing it. It is when the hair has more resistance and, on the other hand, you will eliminate the remains of dry lacquers and gels. Once wet, better untangle the hair with your hands.
•     Massaging the scalp every night for 2 minutes helps improve circulation and hair growth. There are specific brushes for this purpose. If you are doing some treatment for the scalp, first do the massage and then apply the lotion.
•     Masks and smart conditioners , with skin care technology, born of the same philosophy as skin care. These products are designed to offer maximum comfort, resistance and longevity to the hair. The big difference of these conditioners and masks is that you have to apply them on the scalp directly to benefit from their properties.
•     Treat.me strengh by Kevin Murphy is a treatment formulated with natural ingredients and more than 26 amino acids, which work from the scalp to the tips, covering in this way all the hair needs: repair, hydration, anti-aging, density and resistance.
•     Once a month, make a deep cleaning of the scalp. It is not a peel but a new system that detoxifies the skin and stimulates the micro-circulation and cellular functions of the scalp. In addition to deep cleaning, it eliminates dandruff, grease and exerts an antibacterial and detoxifying power.
•     Although cold water activates circulation, it is better for your scalp if the water is warm.
•     The nutricosmetics It is a cocktail of vitamins that usually include leaves and stems of silicon bamboo, minerals (zinc, selenium, calcium, manganese, copper, iron), vitamins C, D, E, K1 and vitamins of group B.
•     Anti-hair loss products accelerate hair growth, but it is not recommended to use them if you want your hair to grow, because you want it longer, for example. Use them only if you fall. If you want more volume you can also find sprays and serums that are applied on the scalp to improve the resistance and increase the density of the hair.

As you see, miracles do not exist. If you do not want to wait, you can always wear extensions and in a few hours you can wear a very long mane.

Here are some recommendations to consider:

Drink plenty of fluids: Ideally, drink between six and eight glasses of pure water, without fluoride, per day, in order to soften your stool.

Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages, sodas, energy drinks and products that have caffeine6 and that are loaded with fructose, since these contain artificial ingredients and sugars that could do more harm than good.

Avoid straining during intestinal elimination: Striving and holding your breath while trying to evacuate the stool, will further press the veins that are in the lower part of the rectum. If you do this constantly, it could cause the hemorrhoids to develop.

Evacuate as soon as you feel the need: By prolonging your desire to have a bowel movement, this increases the chance that your stool will dry out and could make it difficult to evacuate, force the passage, and possibly cause the development of hemorrhoids.

Change toilet paper through a bidet: Using toilet paper to clean your back may cause irritation. A bidet is not only a light option, but it will save you more investment and reduce the contamination of your hands.

However, if you do not have access to a bidet, it could be cleaned with fragrance-free wipes or damp toilet paper.

Exercise: Staying seated or standing for long periods of time may increase the pressure on your veins and slow down your body, including bowel elimination. Basically, when you exercise, you prevent constipation by allowing waste to move through your intestinal tract, which decreases the pressure on your veins.

As a result, this reduces the risk of hemorrhoids.7 In addition, exercising will allow you to get rid of excess weight, another factor that could increase the likelihood of developing hemorrhoids.

Avoid sitting for long periods of time: Sitting for a long period of time, especially in the toilet, will increase the pressure on the veins of the anus, which could lead to the development of hemorrhoids.

When you are in the toilet, put yourself in a squatting position, you do not feel: Actually, when you feel it prevents evacuation by pinching the anus canal. So, you should choose to squat, since this position puts your knees closer to your torso, changes the spatial relationship of your organs and muscles, and relaxes and straightens your rectum - which produces a more efficient evacuation .

Eat foods high in fiber and consider fiber supplements: It is known that fiber is effective to soften stool, increase its volume and prevent the effort that could lead to hemorrhoids or worsen the complications of existing hemorrhoids.

If you have included foods high in fiber in your diet, just make sure to do it gradually to avoid the problem of flatulence.

If you want to take food supplements, choose organic psyllium husk (which is considered a simple and inexpensive way to add fiber to your system) and drink eight glasses of water per day.

If you are dehydrated because you do not have enough fluid in your system, taking fiber supplements could cause or aggravate your constipation.

Factors such as diarrhea and constipation, difficulty in the evacuation and abuse of laxatives, prolonged efforts, obesity, sedentary life, pregnancy and childbirth, circulatory disorders, abuse of alcohol, spicy foods and coffee may favor its appearance.
 
"Most symptoms are produced by the prolapse (slippage) of the anorectal mucosa in and out of the anal canal. The prolapse of the mucosa and internal hemorrhoids in the anal canal cause the pressure of the sphincter on these structures to determine an alteration of the blood flow, which predisposes to the 'thrombosis' (clots inside the blood vessels) "

- Dr. Claudio Wainstein

  Types of hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are classified as external, internal and mixed. External hemorrhoids (covered with skin) are seen outside the anal canal, and internal hemorrhoids (covered by mucosa) are located inside the anal canal and can only be seen if they prolapse out of the canal. "Internal hemorrhoids bleed and prolapse, giving a sensation of mass in the anal canal, pain, discharge and may produce a feeling of lack of continence. Patients notice that hemorrhoids are coming out with defecation, "he says.

External hemorrhoids usually do not bleed, but they can thrombosed (produce clots inside the blood vessels) and cause great pain. "Although external hemorrhoids can in a few cases be necrotic and cause a serious complication, most thrombosed hemorrhoids are resolved with medical treatment, without the need for surgery," says the doctor. But there may be areas of redundant skin, which may cause itching and difficulty to perform a proper toilet.

"Symptoms usually include increased local volume and inflammation, pain in relation to defecation or the presence of hemorrhoidal mass and defecatory and / or spontaneous anal bleeding, which may be scarce or, in cases of continued over time, reach to chronic anemia. Severe bleeding may occur in some patients, "adds the specialist.
