Medical
treatment of hemorrhoids is aimed initially at relieving symptoms.
Measures
to reduce symptoms include:
·
Warm tub baths several times a day in plain, warm
water for about 10 minutes.
·
Consumption of a hemorrhoidal supplement or application
of a hemorrhoidal cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time.
Even when your hemorrhoids itch you will need to
resist the urge to scratch it. Scratching can result in infections and may
trigger severe harm towards the region. In the event you should, then take a
wet cloth and pat, the region and cleanse it. The itching sensation may be
brought on from the region not becoming clean, so patting having a wet cloth
will cleanse the region and relieve a few of the itching.
Preventing
of the recurrence of hemorrhoids will require relieving the pressure and
straining of constipation. Doctors will often recommend increasing fibre and
fluids in the diet. Eating the right amount of fibre and drinking six to eight
glasses of water/fluid will result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool
makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused
by straining.
Eliminating
straining also helps prevent the hemorrhoids from protruding.
The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they
pass easily, thus decreasing pressure, and to empty bowels without undue
straining as soon as possible after the urge occurs. Exercise, including
walking, and eating a high fibre diet, help reduce constipation and
straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass. Good sources
of fibre are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will help to keep your bowls
regular and the stools softer.
In
some cases, hemorrhoids must be treated endoscopically or surgically. These
methods are used to shrink and destroy the hemorrhoidal tissue. The doctor will
perform the procedure during a hospital visit.
A
number of methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of hemorrhoids such
as painless
non-surgical techniques, lasers for
hemorrhoids, harmonic scalpel for hemorrhoids, and the use of
hemorrhoid medications.
