Hemorrhoid Treatment – The Natural Way in 2 days

Alternative Treatment vs Established Treatment

The 3 traditional medical management goals of hemorrhoid treatment include relieving the symptoms, arresting the worsening of the condition and preventing the recurrence of the condition. To these goals, we would add preemptive prevention of the onset of hemorrhoids based on the old adage that prevention is better than cure.

In traditional medical circles, there are 4 stages of prognosis; immediate admittance to hospital where malignancy is suspected, possible admittance where there is acute pain (e.g. thrombosed external hemorrhoids and internal but thrombosed and prolapsed hemorrhoids), outpatient treatment (e.g. grade 1 or 2 hemorrhoids); intensive investigation (e.g. where conditions other than hemorrhoids is surmised).

The majority of people are comfortable going along this conventional path of hemorrhoid treatment. Well and good, if it has helped them. As big pharmaceutical companies and hospitals typically do provide good medical solutions, we are not total skeptics of the mainstream route. Having said that, many mainstream remedies do have side effects, some of which are not made known to us. Sometimes this is on the basis that the side effects are statistically acceptable. At other times, the doctor is just focused on the immediate goal of curing your current condition.

Accordingly, our approach is always to examine alternative treatment together with conventional medicine. This is even more so if the alternative treatment has these characteristics; is natural, has been tried and tested by fellow sufferers and works even for those who have undergone established healthcare treatment. One such alternative to hemorrhoid treatment is the H Miracle.

Apart from conventional and alternative treatment, there are many things that you can do for yourself to avoid becoming a hemorrhoid sufferer or if you are already one, to alleviate your discomfort and prevent a worsening of the condition.

Healthy Lifestyle as a Habit

Adopt this simple way of life – the balanced diet! Clichéd as it may sound but it is an irrefutable truth.

Excessive straining due to constipation, often dismissed as a minor inconvenience, is a major cause of piles. Accordingly, a major lifestyle objective should then be to ensure regular bowel movements comprising soft but bulky stools. With some effort, this can be accomplished simply by including in our daily diet t least 30 gm of insoluble fiber found in fruits and leafy vegetables. Add to that 8 glasses of fluids. Fluids, unfortunately, do not include those with alcohol and caffeine content!

Where these efforts do not yield quick results, you may also take plant-based fiber supplements. Methyl cellulose (extracted from vegetables) is highly effective. Sold under trade names like Citrucel or WillPowder, it passes through the the digestive system undigested and absorbs large amounts of water to produce a bulkier but easily expelled stool. Psyllium (sold under the brand Metamucil) is another effective vegetable-based supplement which acts similarly to produce bulky and smooth faeces.

If you are already suffering from hemorrhoids or is recovering from hemorrhoids after conventional medical procedures, the daily regime of a balanced diet is an imperative step in your hemorrhoid treatment and recovery.

Home Treatment

To those for whom hemorrhoids is a perpetual headache, what follows is a set of perianal hygiene procedures which would help you greatly if it becomes second nature. Perianal alludes to the tissues in the vicinity of the anus. After passing motion, these are essential steps to note:

• Do not use with perfumes or dyes

• Do not rub the anal region

– clean with the shower or bidet

– gently pat dry with a towel

• Blot dry the anus with

– damp toilet tissue

– baby wipes

– moistened mini-towels e.g. TUCKS Medicated Pads

– cleansing agents e.g. Balneol Hygienic Cleansing Lotion.

For pain and itch relief in hemorrhoid treatment, try one or all of the following:

• Apply ice (10-minute duration) several times a day

• Alternately apply a warm compress (10-20 minute duration)

• Apply moist heat (using warm towels – tip: use a microwave) a few times a day

• Soak the anal area in warm water (15 minute duration) several times a day

• Take a sitz bath (i.e. warm tub of water with a tablespoon of salt added)

• Apply hemorrhoidal creams or petroleum jelly (e.g. Preparation H)

Other relief methods:

• Rest in bed – relieves pressure on the inflamed hemorrhoids

• Avoid standing or sitting for prolonged periods

• Minimise lifting heavy things

• Wear loose cotton underwear to prevent moisture formation

• Do NOT use the famed doughnut tire cushion – by restricting blood flow, it magnifies swelling!

• Exercise regularly – just brisk walking is fine too

• However busy you are, discharge your bowels as soon as the urge occurs.

Self-help is an essential part of hemorrhoid treatment. But it is VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE that whenever any of the medicinal products mentioned above are used for piles relief, you should seek the advice of the pharmacist at the pharmacy where you make your purchase or your personal physician. This is especially if you have cardiovascular problems, hypertension, thyroid disease, diabetes, urination difficulties caused by prostate gland enlargement or you are recently taking any prescription medicine.
