The hemorrhoids placed outside the anus are External Hemorrhoids while the ones placed inside the anal canal are called Internal Hemorrhoids. Internal Hemorrhoids sometimes protrude beyond the sphincter to become palpable and visible. At this point they are prolapsed hemorrhoids. (Click here to learn more about hemorrhoids )
The goal to any of the various natural hemorrhoid treatments is to reduce the swelling and to relief symptoms. These are two of the most popular means of home treatments for hemorrhoids:
-The first method is the sitz bath. To do this, you sit in a tub of water as warm as you can tolerate. Some people use their bathtubs. It's handy, has running water and a drain, everyone has one and everybody's bottom can fit into one. Other options are a large but not deep sink or a plastic basin like you might use to bathe an infant. These use less water than a bathtub but will cool down faster. There are other artificial sitz baths that can also be used to alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. (Click here to discover the best natural therapy for hemorrhoids)
A session of sitz bath should last between ten and twenty minutes so you may have to dump the water and add more hot water to it no matter what size your tub is. To get the maximal healing effects, it is necessary to do a sitz bath three to five times a day. Many people report relief after one day of treatment. This won't cure the problem but it will help it significantly. (Click here If you really want to know how to cure hemorrhoids permanently )
-The second method is the application of cold ice to the area. This also helps to shrink the swelling. Wrap a bunch of ice cubes in a towel and apply the cold pack to the affected area. Do not apply ice directly to your bottom. An alternative to ice is a reusable ice pack. These stay colder longer and don't drip as they melt.
Another way of applying cold to that area is to use a package of frozen peas or corn. The package will fit into the shape of your rear end better than either the ice pack or the cold pack. If you don't rip it, the package is reusable. (Click the links in the last paragraph below to discover a powerful water therapy that can cure hemorrhoids)
