subject: Bleeding Hemorrhoids Treatment [print this page] A hemorrhoid is a condition which is characterized by swollen or enlarged veins in or around the lower rectum of the anus. The major symptoms of this condition are itching, bleeding and pain. One of the most prominent features of this condition is that of bleeding during the passing of stools. Generally an external hemorrhoid is marked with a lesser degree of bleeding. This kind of persistent bleeding is not good for health, as it often results in severe loss of blood. This can cause anemia, exhaustion, as well as weakness, apart from a number of other symptoms. It is therefore, important that you consult a doctor as soon as possible if you are suffering from bleeding hemorrhoids.
There are a number of treatment options as far as bleeding hemorrhoids are concerned. Bleeding hemorrhoids treatment includes allopathic therapy, homeopathic treatment, as well as natural remedies. However, before you go ahead with any therapy, it is important to identify the root cause, which has led to this condition. Aging and heredity factors are unavoidable and one can hardly do anything in this regard. However, there are other factors, which are most commonly involved in giving rise to bleeding hemorrhoids. Constipation is one of the major causes of this condition. It is therefore in your best interest, to keep constipation at bay. Include more fiber rich and roughage abundant items in your diet. Drink lots of fluids. Also, staying away from alcohol and tobacco would also be a pretty good idea.
Homeopathic treatment is also an important remedial option. Homeopathy helps in the treatment of piles, without any side effects. However, homeopathy is a relatively long procedure and hence it would require you to have a lot of patience during your bleeding hemorrhoid treatment. Apart from that there are a number of natural remedies, such as sitz bath, where the patient is required to sit in a bathtub filled with lukewarm water. This would soothe the affected area. Another remedy is that of applying ice bags on the affected area. Along with this, onion juice and raw onion soaked in sugar sweetened water can also be of great help in this regard. Apart from that, there are a number of cream and ointments for the treatment of piles, which are available in the market. These ointment and creams can be applied on the affected area.
However, if the condition is absolutely severe, then in that case, clinical remedial options are the only option available. Infrared Photocoagulation, Laser Coagulation and Hemorrhoidectomy are some of the clinical bleeding hemorrhoid treatment options that can be opted for in severe conditions.
