You can help to relieve the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids in the comfort of your own home by:
-- Sitting and soaking the affected area in a warm bath or bowl 3 to 4 times per day.
-- Cleaning the anus after each bowel movement with moist toilet paper or baby wipes.
-- Using ice packs to relieve swelling.
. Sometimes hemorrhoids will disappear without treatment and if this happens, you are very fortunate. Regardless of this, it is important to avoid any recurrence by improving your diet so as to avoid constipation in the future. Drink lots of water and fruit juice and include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet. It is also important to increase the fiber content with more cereals, nuts and wholewheat breads. You can even take fiber supplements. Start a program of regular exercise such as walking, cycling or swimming several times a week as this helps to keep the bowels regular. This exercise will have the added advantage of helping with weight control as well as making you sleep better at night
There are various types of surgery used by the medical profession to treat hemorrhoids such as:
-- Rubber band ligation. This procedure involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid. The flow of blood to the area is restricted and the hemorrhoid shrinks away.
-- Hemorrhoidectomy. This surgical removal of the hemorrhoid may be considered if the internal hemorrhoids are prolapsed or very large.
-- Laser coagulation. This involves applying an electric current to the hemorrhoid. There is then a chemical reaction which prevents the blood flow to the hemorrhoid and it withers away.
-- Infrared photocoagulation. This is when an infrared light is used to coagulate the vein so that blood does not reach the hemorrhoid.
-- Injection sclerotherapy. This is the injecting of chemicals into the mucous membrane in the area around the hemorrhoid. This causes the vein to close and the hemorrhoid to shrink.
-- Laser treatment. A tiny laser beam is used to vaporize various types of hemorrhoids. This is very precise and there is also very little bleeding. Healing is more rapid and recovery less painful than the other methods above. However, this procedure can be expensive.
When researching the different treatment options for hemorrhoids, consider using a natural healing product. These products are becoming more popular for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
