Hemorrhoids are a very common ailment that affects about 6 percent of the population.
Most sufferers will find the ailment very painful and uncomfortable but suffice to say that this is neither a very dangerous nor a life-threatening disorder.
Healing hemorrhoids is a very simple and effective process.
Hemorrhoids can be described as swollen blood vessels that occupy the lower portion of the rectum as well as at the anus.
The internal hemorrhoids line the wall of the rectum and where they remain intact upon straining during bowel movement, they are termed first-degree hemorrhoids.
Where they protrude out of the anus but retract on their own, this is termed the second-degree hemorrhoids.
The third-degree hemorrhoids need a finger to push them back into the rectum after bowel movement.
The fourth-degree hemorrhoids include the external hemorrhoids and the prolapsed hemorrhoids.
These types cannot be pushed back into the rectum because of their large size.
They need to be removed physically.
You do not need to resort to surgery to resolve the hemorrhoids issue because surgery leaves behind many post-operative complications including pain, adverse effects of the anesthetics and medications as well as bleeding.
You can always go for the best option available and this is the home remedies option that has been proven to be very effective by many hemorrhoids sufferers.
Among the steps that need to be taken include the following below.
Use the medicated suppository.
The best suppository for hemorrhoids healing includes one that contains an astringent, an anesthetic and a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.
The astringent will shrink the hemorrhoids as it will slowly cut off the blood supply to the hemorrhoids.
The anesthetic will eliminate the pain associated with hemorrhoids.
The anti-inflammatory agent in the form of a steroid will stop the itch as well as healing the torn and inflamed skin around the anus.
Use the sitz bath.
This bath contains Epsom salts, herbal salts or just plain baking powder.
The container for the bath can be placed on the toilet bowl and warm water can be poured into it.
After adding the salts, sit on the bath and soak the anal region.
The hemorrhoids will be cleansed along the way and there will be no pain.
Soaking can be done for at least twenty minutes at a time.
Take Vitamin C tablet.
I normally advise my customers to take a tablet of Vitamin C 1000 mg daily.
This vitamin is a very effective supplement for hemorrhoids.
It is an anti-oxidant and helps to strengthen the blood vessels thus preventing their being stretched during straining.
The preparation should also contain rutin, hesperidin and the bioflavoids as these will help in shrinking the hemorrhoids.
Consume Omega 3 capsule.
This is a must for hemorrhoids sufferers because of its anti-inflammatory effect.
Omega 3 has the ability to switch off the chemical mechanism with the body which leads to the formation of irritable chemicals giving rise to inflammation.
Healing hemorrhoids can be done using the above home remedies as well as many others without the adverse effects found in surgery and related medical intervention.
Home remedies have been found to be very effective.
