Treatment For Hemorrhoids - Home Remedies

June 17, 2009 - PRLog -- Fl,USA,..............................To be able to treat hemorrhoids effectively, you first need to identify which type of hemorrhoids you have. There are only two major types of hemorrhoids, external and internal but internal hemorrhoids are classified into four degrees. External hemorrhoids, as the name implies, are found on the outside of the anus and come in the form of small and hard lumps. The first three degrees of internal hemorrhoids stay inside the anus but also bring pain, itching and bleeding to the person. The first degree never comes out of the anus while the second and the third degrees could come out during bowel movements. The second degree hemorrhoids automatically go back in the anus after the bowel movement but the third degree has to be pushed back in. The fourth degree internal hemorrhoids are a little similar to external hemorrhoids because these could also be seen outside the anus. Normally, you would not need the help of a professional to get rid of your hemorrhoids. 95% of the time, home remedies are enough to treat your hemorrhoids entirely. However, you would only need to seek the help of your doctor once your hemorrhoids become too severe. If this happens, only the experience of a professional physician and possibly, surgery would be able to treat your hemorrhoids. Surgery, however, is considered to be the last resort of treatment for hemorrhoids so make sure that your hemorrhoids do not reach this stage of severity.

To save yourself from developing hemorrhoids, you should first identify if you are at risk of developing this condition. If you recently experienced pregnancy or childbirth, it is likely for you to develop hemorrhoids because of the strain on your anus. Also, if you have a job that requires you to sit for long hours, you could develop hemorrhoids. To decrease the risk of developing hemorrhoids, you should avoid putting too much strain on your anus by standing up every now and then. Make sure that you do this for a few minutes before you could come back to your sitting position.

If you have been experiencing uncomfortable bowel movements because of your hard stools, it is advisable to use stool softeners you could buy over the counter. Fiber supplements can also be used as an effective treatment for hemorrhoids because it could make your stool softer. However, if you prefer to go natural, you could add more fiber to your diet by eating more fruits and vegetables. Whole grains would also help in making your stool softer, making your bowel movements bearable and lessening the pressure on your anus.

Having an unhealthy lifestyle could also aid in worsening your case of hemorrhoids. Though smoking, drinking alcohol and too much coffee would not directly influence your hemorrhoid condition, doing these would just help worsen the symptoms. If you do not get rid of these habits, no matter how hard you try to make your stool softer, the pain and the itching caused by your hemorrhoids would not go away and even the bleeding could get worse.

Hemorrhoids are a problem that is far more prevalent than many people realize, and many people with symptoms of hemorrhoids may not even know that they have them. It's a sad truth that solid..
