I would hazard a guess that if you've suffered from hemorrhoids, many treatments just haven't worked for you. You will find in this piece, proven remedies for piles, and by the end you'll have a comprehensive awareness of what needs to be done to cure piles once and for all!
One or two of the treatments may be a little on the controversial incline, but don't let that concern you. The little 'unknowns' are quite often the best. What's more, your personal situation will be able to lean you towards the remedy that's best for you.
Ointments and Creams
Unlike some other cures, creams and ointments are rubbed on the piles directly. The objective is to lessen the swelling to a large scale.
But, the relief is impermanent and you are practically certain to suffer from piles yet again in the following years.
This approach serves as a rapid remedy - much like a Mcdonald's meal. But when it comes down to it, other options are more advisable simply because they have more long term benefits.
Suppositories
These remedies should, once again, be seen as a temporary solution. They are placed into the rectum to provide moisture and lubrication to the hemorrhoid.
Some people will gain relief from them and some won't benefit at all. But it is dependent on the strain that is placed upon the hemorrhoids, and the nature of your condition.
If your discomfort is more of an irritation than a pain I recommend you try suppositories. But if you are in a lot of pain I suggest you try something else.
Pills
Tablets for hemorrhoids control your bodies blood pressure. In due course, their purpose is to strengthen vein tissue so that you have less chance of having problems with hemorrhoids.
While the results are relatively quick, they also come with their fair share of potential side effects such as nausea, effects on vision and sleepiness.
Surgical Intervention
When it comes to treating piles, an operation should be the last box you tick. If you are in a lot of discomfort and you've truly tried every treatment (including the ones in this article) then it may be the case that you need to have an operation.
Be aware that it does come with a host of side effects (as it seems with everything) See here:
- Future weaknesses to infection and physical damage
- Possible allergic reactions to surgical intervention.
- Surgeon's Mishap - Low risk but we're all human
Method/ Description
- Rubber Band Ligation: A rubber band is positioned to suffocate the vein of blood. Over time the vein will shrink.
- Sclerotherapy: In this procedure a liquid or foam solution is applied to the vein using a needle or syringe. The result, blood cannot stream through the hemorrhoid.
- Cryotherapy: The offending varicose vein is frozen into submission, leaving nothing but a clean wound.
- Infrared coagulation: This approach burns the hemorrhoid. While a little painful it's very fast.
- Hemorrhoidectomy: This is the most severe operation you can have with general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia for entire removal of hemorrhoid(s)
Other Treatments For Piles
In my opinion, natural cures are the very best way to go. Why? Well, they are affordable, simple, home-bound and free of side effects in most cases - what is there NOT to like about them? These include:
But it's important to know that while the effects are rapid-acting, there is no reassurance that hemorrhoids won't return later in life.
- Highly fibrous diet -- There is no higher advocation than this approach. Eat a consistently high in fiber diet and a universe of health problems will fly directly over you.
- Pilewort -- Despite the unappealing name, pilewort is perennial herb that's extremely effective against external hemorrhoids. This commonly comes in ointment form, but you can also drink it as a cup of tea.
- Emu oil: Another route for you if you suffer from external hemorrhoids. Emu oil stiffens the muscles and controls pain.
- Sitting baths: Any doctor will tell you to have a sitting bath. The timeless solution immediately takes away then pain - atleast until you get out. You can either buy a sitz bath or use your normal bath. Run some luke-warm water and submerge the area in it - 3 times a day. Relax for about 15 minutes each time.
For utmost effect, the bath water ought to contain a little salt or baking soda, and if you have some, essential oils.
