Relieve Hemorrhoids with Venixxa
Venixxa is an oral, natural health product that helps reduce the signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids.
What are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are a normal part of the human body.
They are cushions rich in blood vessels, including veins, that are located in the anus to help with stool control. Hemorrhoidal disease results from an increase in abdominal pressure, causing a swelling of the veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoidal disease is very painful, induces severe discomfort, and causes bleeding. All of these symptoms can severely alter your quality of life.
80 % of Canadians will suffer from hemorrhoids at least once in their lifetime.¹

Do You Have Hemorrhoids?
The symptoms of hemorrhoids are many and varied. Hemorrhoidal disease can cause a significant amount of discomfort and negatively impact your quality of life.
People are often embarrassed to talk about it, but if not treated immediately, hemorrhoidal disease may become more painful and can worsen over time.
Speak to your pharmacist or physician if you are experiencing any of the signs of hemorrhoids.

Bleeding

It is important to begin treatment right away, as hemorrhoids can worsen over time. If treated early, symptoms such as swelling, bleeding, and pain can be significantly reduced.
Venixxa is a Natural Health Product synthetically made from a natural-origin material extracted from immature oranges that provides relief of signs and symptoms associated with hemorrhoids.
Treat Your Symptoms Early
The symptoms of hemorrhoids can start off quite mildly and often resolve on their own, but this isn’t always the case. Understand the benefits of taking action to treat and prevent the symptoms of hemorrhoids. 2
External hemorrhoids are what most people think of when they picture hemorrhoids. Location is the only difference between the two different types of piles, but the difference in discomfort can be considerable. External hemorrhoids form on the outside of the anus, directly on the opening where there are a lot of nerve endings, so it can be particularly itchy and painful.
Internal hemorrhoids are formed deep inside the anus and are not usually visible. They can resolve without treatment, but occasionally they will swell and protrude from the anus. Prolapsed hemorrhoids are internal hemorrhoids that have grown to the point that they protrude from the anus. The severity of internal hemorrhoids is measured using a grading system, based on how far they protrude:
Grade 1
Bleeding visible on proctoscopy, protrusion upon exercice, absence of prolapse

Grade 1
There may be bleeding, discomfort and itching, and protrusion on straining but no evidence of prolapse. It is nonetheless essential that you treat from this first stage to avoid worsening symptoms.
Close
Grade 2
Bleeding, visible prolapse during exercise, spontaneous return at the end of exercise
Learn more
Grade 2
Without treatment, your condition may worsen, leading to pain when using the toilet, bleeding and hemorrhoids that tend to prolapse when straining, but reduce when straining ceases.
Close
Grade 3
Bleeding visible on proctoscopy, protrusion upon exertion, prolapse requiring manual reduction
Learn more
Grade 3
When hemorrhoids progress to Grade 3, bleeding is more frequent and your piles will prolapse on straining and need to be pushed back in. You can do this yourself. If there is a thrombosis (blood clot inside the vein) as well, the pain may be very strong.
Close
Grade 4
Permanent and irreducible prolapse, bleeding, discharge
Learn more
Grade 4
This is the most serious stage. You will have permanent piles that you can’t push back in yourself without pain in addition to previous signs and symptoms.

Tips for preventing hemorrhoids
Incorporate simple habits into your daily routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help protect against hemorrhoids and their recurrence:
Eat high fibre foods
Try including more high-fibre foods in your diet such as fruits, vegetables, brown rice, wholewheat pasta and wholemeal breads. These will keep your stools soft and avoid constipation (which can lead to straining and result in hemorrhoids).
Exercise frequently
Regular exercise will help relax muscles and increase blood flow for better healing.
Drink plenty of fluids
Drinking plenty of fluids (especially water) will help keep your stools soft and manageable.
Go when you need to
If you wait to pass a bowel movement, it can result in your stool becoming dry and harder to pass.
Try a fibre supplement
A fibre supplement can help ensure you are getting enough fibre in your diet if you struggle to get enough through foods.
Avoid sitting for too long
Sitting for too long, particularly on the toilet, can increase the pressure on the veins around your anus making them more susceptible to hemorrhoids/prolapse.
Don’t strain
Straining on the toilet can put even more unwanted pressure on the blood vessels and aggravate an already sensitive area.
In addition to lifestyle modifications, there are a range of treatments available for easing the symptoms of hemorrhoids, including gels, creams and suppositories.

What does micronized mean?
Micronized means that a substance has been broken into very small particles for more effective absorption.
