External Hemroid Treatment
There are many options when seeking hemroid treatment, we’ll take a look at the most commonly effective ones here.
Adding extra fiber to your diet, as well as drinking a lot of water prevents constipation. Constipation can put stress your intestinal muscles, exacerbating any existing problems with your hemorrhoids.
Nuts, beverages, alcoholic drinks as well as hot foods make hemroid symptoms more severe. 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.
First use ice for 10 minutes on the area , then follow up with a warm and moist towel for another 20 minutes for providing relief.
Using unscented baby wipes is a better way then wiping or rubbing after bowel movement.
This is one experience where it is better to keep physically active than sit still.
Bed rest will alleviate pressure on the sphincter muscles and allow your hemroids to heal if you are having a horrible flare up of your piles.
Sometimes, immersing the affected area in warm sitz bath for 15 minutes several times a day can be very soothing.
Use such cleaning agents for your body which are devoid of strong chemicals.
Cotton undergarments absorb all moisture (even from sweating), which will result in worsening hemroids.
* Zinc is a skin protectant 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 because they can cause damage to anal tissue with longer term use, and therefore should not be used for more then 7-10 days.
* You will easily get the hydrocortisone creams which are used as anti-inflamitories and could help both inflammation and itching at the same time. If over the counter strengths don’t help, your doctor can prescribe a higher concentration.
Numbing sprays that help relieve the pain are offered in most drugstores.
Unfortunately, everyone is not helped by these treatments. In spite of going through conventional therapy, many still have sensations of scratching, discharge of blood, irritation and ache due to internal hemroids. Even though the above mentioned treatment would cover up the symptoms for it or relieve it temporarily, you may often find out the hemroids to come back again. Treatment to cure hemroid is available, rather then countering the symptoms.
Don’t hesitate to ask your medical professional before embarking on any new treatment.
