Hemorrhoid Banding - background

Hemorrhoids are something you hear about when you are younger.  But, are certainly not a concern for most.  After all, when you are young, pooping is a pleasure.  You can eat super hot chicken wings and guzzle beer until 3 AM, top it off with breakfast on the way home and then go to the bathroom with full certainty that the only pain will be in your head if you really over-did it.

Not so, for people who know that it sucksgettingolder.

Hemorrhoids are rogue veins that no longer work as directed.  And I have vascular issues (more on that in another post).  In this case, the veins get bigger, interfere with other functions and can cause pain and bleeding.  There are cures for this (diet, exercise, surgery for example) and banding - which puts an elastic around the base and chokes them off.

The promise is freedom from the pain and discomfort.  Fucking liars.
