Hemroid Treatment
Thursday, August 7th, 2008There are many options when seeking hemroid treatment, we’ll take a look at the most commonly effective ones here.
DIETARY CHANGES
- It’s important to include extra fiber in your diet and to drink plenty of water every day. This will prevent constipation. Constipation causes strain on your bowel muscles, which will make hemroids worse.
- There are foods that tend to worsen hemroid symptoms. The most common are nuts, coffee, all alcohols and spicy foods. If you notice another type of food making your hemroids worse, try abstaining for a few days and see if there is a positive effect.
BEHAVIORIAL CHANGES
- Use ice on the area for 10 minutes, then follow with a warm, moist towel for 20 minutes to provide relief.
- Don’t wipe or rub after a bowel movement! Instead, use unscented baby wipes to carefully pat down the area.
- Keep sitting or standing in one place to a minimum. Move around.
- If you have a particularly bad flare up of the piles, bed rest will take pressure off the sphincter muscles and allow the hemroids to time to subdue.
- Some find relief by taking a sitz bath several times a day. You just soak the area in warm water for about 15 minutes.
- If you use soaps or body wash that contain dyes and perfumes, switch to less chemical versions.
- Cotton undergarments will help absorb any moisture (perhaps from sweating) that can make hemroids worse.
MEDICATIONS
- Zinc is a skin protectant (it’s found in baby diaper rash cream) that can be applied to both protect the delicate anal skin and to prevent itching.
- Suppositories, such as Tucks and Preparation H are a hemroid treatment to be taken with extreme caution. They can cause damage to anal tissue with longer term use, and therefor should not be used for more then 7-10 days.
- At your drugstore you’ll also find hydrocortisone creams. These are anti-inflamitories and can help both inflammation and itching. Your doctor can prescribe a higher concentration if the over the counter strengths don’t provide relief.
- Most drugstores also offer numbing sprays that will help with the pain.
Unfortunately, these treatments don’t work for everyone. Many still suffer from the itching, burning, bleeding and pain of hemroids after trying traditional treatments. Even if the treatments above cover up symptoms, or temporarily relieve them, you’ll often find the hemroids come back. Rather then masking the symptoms, a true hemroid treatment is available. The ancient Chinese “Fargei” actually cured Holly Hayden’s hemroids in just 48 hours. Her article is a must-read for more information on effective hemroid treatment that works NOW.
