Hemorrhoids Treatment – How To Eliminate The Pain And Embarrassment Of External Hemorrhoids In 7 Easy Steps.
Jul 2nd, 2009 Posted in disease | no comment »External hemorrhoids treatments are of various types. You can choose to treat your hemorrhoids using conventional methods or use natural and alternative therapies.
I believe firmly that we should find natural solutions to all our bodily ailments, but before we discuss how to treat your hemorrhoids, lets address the question – What are hemorrhoids?
External hemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen blood veins around the anus. They can be clearly seen by the ordinary eye and tend to vary in sizes depending on how severe they are.
What causes external hemorrhoids?
It is not known for certain but eating too much processed foods and straining in during bowel movements don’t help matters. Foods like sugar, chocolate, coffee, milk products, pastries and biscuits also tend to aggravate the condition.
External hemorrhoids are different from internal hemorrhoids, which tend to remain in the rectum and invisible to the ordinary eye. It is possible to suffer from either internal or external hemorrhoids or even both.
External Hemorrhoids – Which Treatments have failed so far?
As a ex-hemorrhoid sufferer myself, I used the commony prescribed suppositories and creams but they did not work for me. When they did, it was only for a few hours and the pain would return.
At one point, I even considered having them surgically removed but my doctor told me that was no guarantee that the hemorrhoids would not return. So why go through the pain of having them surgically removed only for the external hemorrhoids to return in 6 months or a couple of years down the line?
External Hemorrhoids Treatment – Things you can do in order to relieve the pain.
1. Take 1 Capsule of milk thistle twice a day to help soften the stool and cleanse the liver.
2. Add herb bilberry to your dietary regimen. It is contains high levels of bioflavonoids, which are anti-inflammatory compounds that help shrink external hemorrhoids. If your case is acute, then take 1 capsule of the bilberry every hour until you feel better.
3. Rub the area with pilewort ointment twice a day and gradually reduce to once a day.
4. Try and avoid straining during bowel movements as this would only make your condition worse.
5. Don’t sit down for too long, an hour at most. Sitting down for too long creates additional pressure on the bottom area. That combined with a sharp pain such as constipation of pregnancy can make things worse. Trust me I know, because I have been there.
6. If you are in serious pain then try sitting in a basin of cold water. This may come as a shock but doing this would help lessen the inflammation and reduce the engorged blood vessels.
7. During bowel movements aim to be on the toilet seat for no longer than 3 to 5mins at any one time.
