subject: Hemorrhoids Home Cure - Relieving Pain and Symptoms by:Greg Whitaker [print this page] Both the pain and the symptoms of hemorrhoids can be alleviated through a natural home cure.
Pain form hemorrhoids can result from fissures which are small cracks in the skin around the anus. Symptoms of hemorrhoids include anal itching, anal ache or pain (especially while sitting) bright red blood on toilet tissue, stool, or in the toilet bowl, pain during bowel movements and one or more hard tender lumps near the anus. Both pain and symptoms can be alleviated through a natural home cure for hemorrhoids.
So what about hemorrhoid pain?
Pain is usually not felt with prolapsed hemorrhoids and many times will go undetected. Painless (or even painful) rectal bleeding is a symptom of internal hemorrhoids but it can be caused by other conditions although the younger you are the more likely it is that you have hemorrhoid bleeding. Pain is usually mild and can be managed with analgesics. Returning to work can be immediate or the day after treatment.
What are the common hemorrhoid causes?
Bowel troubles are the most common causes. Frequent constipation can bring hemorrhoids out and diarrhea can make them worse. Bowel movements are not supposed to be long and difficult. If you shorten the time you spend sitting on the toilet and lessen the effort it takes to finish your bowel movement, then your hemorrhoids will heal quickly and future hemorrhoid discomfort will be unlikely.
FAQ's concerning hemorrhoid symptoms can include the following:
Symptoms could include swelling, redness and severe itching. There are different types of hemorrhoids. Symptoms get better in more than 8 out of 10 people who have rubber band ligation. Some people may have hemorrhoids come back. Medical treatment of hemorrhoids is aimed initially at relieving symptoms.
Ice can help too.
Ice may help decrease swelling and discomfort. Some women find cold compresses saturated with witch hazel to be soothing. Ice or heat packs can also be tried several times a day in order to relieve the affected area.
Stool softeners may provide some help.
Stool softeners and increased drinking of liquids also may be recommended. There is no strong, scientific support, however, for the benefits of fiber, liquids, or stool softeners. Stool softeners and laxatives have been known to provide temporary and fast relief but should not be relied on for the long term. This is because your body may develop a dependence on these relief methods which could make the problem worse in the long run.
Natural hemorrhoid remedies can be safer if used properly. Rarely do people have side effects to natural hemorrhoid remedies. And natural hemorrhoid cures work well, if not better than the other more conventional methods.
