Once you have figured out that those weird things around your anus are hemorrhoids the next most important question on your mind is how to get rid of them. Shrinking hemorrhoids is a little like having rats in the roof - getting them is one thing, getting rid of them is a whole new ball game. You might even learn about know how to prevent them in the future but right now all you can focus on is how to get rid of them.

Hemorrhoids affect over 50% of the adult population - yes, every second person you meet has either had, or has, hemorrhoids. Some quote the number as high as 75% of the adult population - either way - it is a big number.

So now that you know that almost everyone has developed hemorrhoids sometime during their life, whether from sitting in one position for long periods of time, suffering with constipation or as a side effect from being pregnant - you don't have to feel bad about it. Just deal with it. Hemorrhoids can be painful. The most reoccurring symptoms include severe itching or burning, blood on stools and light bleeding after completing a bowel movement.

The most common hemorrhoids are external and internal hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids are the easiest to treat and that is what we will discuss here.

There are countless over the counter hemorrhoid products to help with shrinking hemorrhoids. Most of these contain witch hazel. Many also contain apple cider or white vinegar and petroleum jelly. That's right ingredients you have around the house and can treat your hemorrhoids and soothe them at the same time.

Witch hazel is an inexpensive astringent which is great for shrinking hemorrhoids. It is also easy to get along with Aloe Vera which is known for its healing, moisturizing and soothing properties. Petroleum jelly keeps the area lubricated. It also avoids hard bowel movements, which can start bleeding all over again.

Apple cider vinegar has been known to shrink hemorrhoids after only one or two applications due to its strong astringent, antibacterial and antiseptic properties.

Place a small amount of apple cider vinegar into a container without diluting. Dip a soft cotton pad or q-tip into the apple cider vinegar and gently apply to your hemorrhoids after bowel movements or when you suffer from itching or pain. This will also reduce bleeding.

These three pantry ingredients can easily help with shrinking hemorrhoids. Of course, if they do not improve please seek medical advice.
