Drug free hemorrhoid treatment

Everyone has a hemorrhoid pad which ensures that the anus closes tightly. This pad is made up of an Arteriovenus vascular system. If conditions are unfavorable, nodules develop which are commonly known as "piles." These enlarged nodules are not only detrimental to the anal sphincter but also lead to painful associated complaints. The ailment is divided into four different stages depending on the size of the nodules.

If there is "only" pain during and after passing stools this is known as 1st degree hemorrhoids. In 2nd degree hemorrhoids the nodules are already so large that they protrude when passing stools but are retracted automatically into the colon immediately after. 2nd degree hemorrhoids are as large as cherry stones.

1st degree and 2nd degree hemorrhoids are also referred to as "internal hemorrhoids" as the nodules ultimately stay in the colon without any treatment. By comparison, the so called "external hemorrhoids" are not spontaneously retracted. 3rd degree hemorrhoids can only be pushed back into the colon by hand. It is not possible to reposition 4th degree hemorrhoids at all.

Thanks to modern medicine it is no longer necessary to leave hemorrhoid complaints untreated or to have them cauterized, a painful method which was used in the middle ages. In many cases 1st degree hemorrhoids can be effectively treated with ointments and suppositories; allergic reactions are rare as compatibility is regarded as a major concern. In the case of the mid-range degrees the hemorrhoids can be treated by a doctor, whereby rubber tape ligation or sclerotherapy are normally applied.

Sclerotherapy means that substances which irritate the tissue are injected into the hemorrhoids. This leads to local inflammation which in turn causes the hemorrhoids to shrink. After only a few applications the hemorrhoids are usually so scarred that they can no longer cause any discomfort. In the case of rubber tape ligation, a tiny rubber band is fixed over the hemorrhoids. Within a few weeks the hemorrhoids are shed.

Thermal therapy has been shown to be highly effective, and we'll talk about that next.

The Delwa-Star H&P Eco Therm device operates by heating hemorrhoids with a heated applicator inserted into the rectum. It works on the pulsating heat principle and brings significant relief to 1st and 2nd degree hemorrhoids.

The Eco Therm can be used simply and easily by the patient in the comfort of his or her own home. The therapy probe emits pulsating warmth which stimulates the blood flow through the hemorrhoid pad, which in turn results in an increased metabolic rate and a definite shrinkage of the hemorrhoids.

The therapy probe, which is shaped like a suppository, is inserted into the rectum for a duration of 20 minutes. The most comfortable temperature for the user (between 97-113F) can be selected via the knob on the control unit. Even if an improvement is obvious after a few days, the therapy should be continued twice daily for a period of 30 days.

Most patients find the Eco Therm therapy comfortable and agreeable. It is IKS/FDA-controlled and is fitted with all required safety systems. This means that the device cannot be directly connected to a plug socket. A box which is used for both charging the built-in batteries and for operating the therapy probe means that charging the batteries and the treatment cannot take place simultaneously. The Eco Therm switches off automatically after 20 minutes which effectively prevents overheating.

It has proven itself to be a sensible alternative to other forms of therapy as there are no detrimental side effects and it is very easy to operate.

The Eco Therm is shipped discreetly, so you don't need to worry about the neighbors knowing your business. With an optional probe type, the Eco Therm can also be used to treat prostate issues. For information on the prostate and the Eco Therm, click here.
