The newest cures for hemorrhoid problems flood the Internet with the latest creams, pharmaceuticals as well as non-surgical and surgical procedures. Recent research has found that a high fiber diet and natural methods prevent and treat most mild to
moderate hemorrhoids. If the hemorrhoids do not disappear or are very large, it may be necessary to seek medical treatment.
Constipation is the most common cause of hemorrhoids. Reducing constipation addresses the root of the problem and is the most important aspect of treatment. Drinking plenty of water and eating a fiber rich diet of fruit of vegetables will alleviate constipation. Fiber also softens the stools, reducing pain and bleeding of hemorrhoids. For more stubborn constipation, taking a natural fiber
supplement, such as psyllum husk powder, is a beneficial addition. When taking fiber supplements, it is essential to drink 8 to 10 ounces of water per day.
The following natural remedies will help shrink the hemorrhoids and alleviate symptoms.
Soothe the irritated areas with 15-minute warm sitz baths. Apply warm damp towels to the area a few times a day for added benefit. Witch hazel, applied with a sterile cotton ball, will soothe and cool the affected areas. Aloe Vera may also be applied to calm and heal the tissues of the rectum. For more severe cases, a combination of natural and medical treatments may be necessary.
One non-surgical medical method is currently popular is a fixative procedure, which cuts off the blood supply to the hemorrhoids. The scar tissue after the treatment helps prevent re-occurrences.
Fixative procedures include rubber band ligation, lasers or heat. During rubber band ligation, the doctor ties tiny rubber bandsaround the base of the affected areas to cut off circulation. Due to lack of blood supply, the hemorrhoids fall off in a few days after treatment. Following the procedure there is usually some bleeding and discomfort for about four days. Coagulation uses laser or heat to harden and shrink the hemorrhoids. Coagulation has a higher percentage of re-occurrence than rubber band ligation.
If the problem is severe surgery may be necessary. However, it is certainly worth trying natural and non-surgical methods before invasive surgery. Regardless of the treatment, a high fiber diet and plenty of water should always be part of the treatment plan. Consult a health care practitioner to rule out other causes of symptoms.
