Hemorrhoids Home Treatment

Hemorrhoids are enlarged and inflamed anorectal veins due to weakness of their walls and increased pressure within them, usually due to excessive straining.

Hemorrhoids are also known as piles, a term more commonly used in some countries other than USA to define the condition.

Also, the term hemorrhoids is sometimes misspelled as hemroids, hemmoroids, hemorroids, hemmroids, or hemeroids. It is one of the most commonly mis-spelled terms in English.

Types of hemorrhoids. There are 2 groups of anorectal veins, internal and external hemorrhoidal veins. According to which group is affected, we have 2 types of hemorrhoids; internal and external hemorrhoids.

Symptoms of hemroids include rectal bleeding in the form of bright-red blood on the stools or on toilet paper, rectal pain, rectal itching and discomfort.

A painful hard mass around the anus may be felt in case of external hemorrhoids and prolapsed internal hemorrhoids.

Below, I will discuss different methods to cure hemroids completely using 100% natural home treatment.

For simplicity, treatment methods are categorized into the following categories:

1) Avoid Straining. This includes dietary changes to treat constipation in addition to many tips that help you minimize straining in general and develop healthy bowel habits.

2) Local physical measures. These include all local non-medical treatments used to control symptoms especially in acute cases.

3) Local medical measures. These include different medicines that can be used locally to alleviate symptoms.

4) Herbal remedies that can be used either locally or systemically to control symptoms and to cure hemorrhoids by inducing reversal of pathogenesis.

5) Special natural products, which are usually mixtures of herbs, proved to be effective in treating hemorrhoids. An example is the famous Venapro.

Avoid straining, Avoid straining, Avoid straining.

Do I have to say more?

If you ask me for a single cause of hemorrhoids, the answer will be "STRAINING".

And if you ask me for a single cause of straining, the answer will be "CONSTIPATION".

So, the end result is "avoid constipation, to avoid straining, to avoid hemorrhoids".

1) Avoid constipation. The main cause of constipation is dietary, so we need some dietary changes to prevent and treat constipation.

• Increase the amount of fiber in diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits, whole grain cereals and bread. Limit intake of low-fiber diet as ice creams and white bread. You can use psyllium and bran, but avoid laxatives as they may cause diarrhea with worsening straining and also may cause dehydration.
• Drink sufficient amounts of water up to 8 cups daily.

2) Avoid other causes of straining.

• Don't hold stools, go to toilet once you feel the need to go.
• Don't hold breath unnecessarily, Don't lift heavy objects.

3) Modify your toilet sitting. Recently, it was proved that squatting position is more healthy than the modern toilet position. This is related not only to hemorrhoids but also to many other health concerns as hernias, birth position and even colon cancer.

Squatting leads to more complete emptying of the bowel with very minimal straining, because it is more natural with the direction of action of pelvic and abdominal muscles.

You can use modern toilets and assume a position more similar to squatting. Flex your thighs onto your abdomen and flex your elbows around your knees. Also, there are special chairs that makes this even easier, look at the picture...

The local measures include the following.

1. Sitz baths. The word sitz comes from the German word "sitzen" meaning "sit". A sitz bath is a bath in which only the pelvis and buttocks are soaked with water or saline. Sitz bath with warm water is effective in relieving the pain of hemorrhoids.

For a sitz bath, you will need a bathtub or plastic sitz bath which have the ability of continuous flow of warm water with draining of the excess water to ensure that the water is continuously warm.

Some persons become dizzy after standing from a sitz bath, so be sure to have some person beside you on doing sitz bath.

2. Ice can be applied on the area for 10 minutes followed by warm foments for 20 minutes.

3. Avoid rubbing the area of hemorrhoids and avoid the use of irritant soaps and washes.

4. Use cotton underclothes to help good absorption of sweating which irritates the hemorrhoids and increases the pain associated with them.

1. H formula can be used to relieve pain of hemorrhoids, but prolonged use may damage the skin.

2. Local hydrocortisone may be used to ease hemorrhoids bleeding, but also avoid prolonged use.

3. Many local analgesic preparations in the form of sprays, creams, and ointments are available and can be used to control acute hemorrhoids symptoms.

I don't recommend the use of any of these measures, because at the best, they produce a very transient effect , if any. Also, these are chemicals so, they lead to irritation of the skin which ultimately leads to worsening the symptoms.
