Hemorrhoid Treatment – The Natural Way in 2 days
Alternative Treatment vs Conventional Treatment
The 3 conventional health management goals of hemorrhoid treatment include alleviating the symptoms, arresting the worsening of the condition and preventing the recurrence of the condition. To these goals, we would add preemptive prevention of the onset of hemorrhoids based on the old adage that prevention is better than cure.
In traditional medical circles, there are 4 stages of assessment; immediate admittance to hospital where malignancy is suspected, possible admittance where there is acute pain (e.g. thrombosed external hemorrhoids and thrombosed prolapsed internal hemorrhoids), outpatient treatment (e.g. grades 1 or 2 hemorrhoids); intensive investigation (e.g. where more than the usual symptoms of hemorrhoids are observed).
The majority of people are comfortable going along this conventional path of hemorrhoid treatment. Well and good, if it has been of relief to them. As big pharmaceutical companies and hospitals generally do provide good medical care, we are not total skeptics of the mainstream route. Having said that, many prevailing drugs do have side effects, some of which are not made known to us. Sometimes this is due to the fact that the side effects are statistically acceptable. At other times, the doctor is just focused on the immediate goal of curing your current condition.
Correspondingly, our approach has always been to examine alternative treatment together with conventional medicine. This is especially so if the alternative treatment is a natural way that has been tried and tested by fellow sufferers, including those who have already undergone tradtional medical treatment. One such alternative to hemorrhoid treatment is the H Miracle.
Conventional and alternative treatments aside, there are a variety of DIY routines that you can practise to prevent piles affliction. These same measures become even more critical if you are already suffering from it. They will ease your distress and prevent deterioration of the condition.
Healthy Lifestyle as a Habit
Develop this easy style of living – the balanced diet! Clichéd but nevertheless, an unshakeable truth.
A major cause of hemorrhoids is excessive straining due to constant bouts of constipation. Accordingly, an important lifestyle objective should then be to attain regular bowel movements consisting of soft but bulky stools. This is very easily attained by including in our daily diet just 30 gm of insoluble fiber found in fruits and leafy vegetables. Add to that 8 glasses of fluids. Fluids that work, unfortunately, do not include those with alcohol and caffeine content!
Should the balanced diet not yield fairly rapid results, you may try out plant-based fiber supplements. Sold under trade names like Citrucel or WillPowder, methyl cellulose is very effective. They pass through the intestines undigested and absorbs large quantities of water to produce a bulky and soft stool. Another high fiber supplement is psyllium which is made from the seeds of the Indian plant Plantago ovata. Sold under the brandnames Metamucil and Fybogel, psyllium acts similarly to produce bulky soft stools.
Regardless of whether you are already agonising due to hemorrhoids or is recovering from hemorrhoids after traditional medical procedures, the daily regime of a fiber-packed diet is an important step in your hemroid treatment and recovery.
Home Treatment
For those currently in pain from hemorrhoids, the following perianal hygiene drills should become second nature. Perianal refers to the tissues surrounding the anus. After passing motion, these are essential steps to note:
• Do not use with perfumes or dyes
• Avoid rubbing the anal region
– clean with the shower or bidet
– gently pat dry with a towel
• Blot dry the anus with
– damp toilet paper
– baby wipes
– moistened towelettes e.g. TUCKS Medicated Pads
– cleansing agents e.g. Balneol Hygienic Cleansing Lotion.
For pain and itch relief in hemorrhoid treatment, try one or all of the following:
• Apply ice (10-minute duration) several times a day
• Alternate with a warm compress (10-20 minute duration)
• Apply moist heat (using warm towels – tip: use a microwave) a few times a day
• Soak the anal area in warm water (15 minute duration) several times a day
• Take a sitz bath (i.e. warm salted water)
• Apply hemorrhoidal creams or petroleum jelly (e.g. Preparation H)
Other relief methods:
• Rest in bed – relieves pressure on the inflamed hemorrhoids
• Refrain standing or sitting for prolonged periods
• Minimise lifting heavy objects
• Wear loose cotton underwear to minimise moisture formation
• Do NOT use the famed doughnut ring cushion – by restricting blood flow, it aggravates swelling!
• Diligently exercise – if nothing else, just brisk walking
• However busy you are, empty your bowels as soon as the urge occurs.
Self-help is an inevitable part of hemorrhoid treatment. But it is VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE that whenever any of the medicinal products mentioned above are used for piles treatment, you should seek the advice of the pharmacist at the pharmacy where you make your purchase or your personal physician. This is especially if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabetes, urination difficulties caused by prostate gland enlargement or you are recently taking any prescription drugs.
