External hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that are outside the anus. As such treatment can be very easy to apply. Hemorrhoids are actually swollen veins of the rectum and the anus. In this case, the hemorrhoids are engorged with blood. As a result of the inflamed condition, patients usually suffer more especially in public as they have to move a lot.. The vein walls can be very thin to the extent that any excess pressure applied to the anus can cause the hemorrhoids to burst and become bloody.
If you have these hemorrhoids, normally they come with the symptoms of itchiness and irritation in the anal region, pain and discomfort, swelling of the hemorrhoids and leakage of feces.
You can use surgery to treat external hemorrhoids. No doubt with advanced technology, this can be a painless procedure but you will pay quite a hefty price for this fast operation. However, relapse has been found to occur in some patients.
I would highly recommend using home remedies to eliminate hemorrhoids. The principle involves shrinking the hemorrhoids. The remedies are very painless.
1) Try to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables in your meals as these will increase the amount of fibers in the body. Fibers will cause the stool to be consistent thus eliminating undue pressure to the pelvic and anal regions. Increasing your intake of water and other fluids will also aid in the same stool consistency
2) Try to be active. Do plenty of exercise and do not lead a sedentary life. If you sit too long in a spot, the pressure on the anus will definitely worsen the hemorrhoids.
3) Witch hazel can be applied to the anal as it acts as an astringent.
4) Put ice in a plastic bag and apply the bag to the anus area to reduce swelling considerably.
External hemorrhoids treatment can be easily done using the home remedies that have been found to be very cheap, safe and effective.
