Hemorrhoid Treatment – The Natural Way in 2 days

Alternative Treatment vs Traditional Treatment

The 3 conventional healthcare 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 internal but thrombosed and prolapsed hemorrhoids), outpatient treatment (e.g. grade 1 or 2 hemorrhoids); intensive investigation (e.g. where conditions other than hemorrhoids is suspected).

The majority of people are comfortable going along this conventional path of hemorrhoid treatment. Well and good, if it has been of help to them. As big pharmaceutical companies and hospitals typically do provide good medical solutions, we are not total skeptics of the traditional route. However, conventional drugs often have side effects that we may not be apprised of even by the best of doctors as they truly believe that the cure is the main immediate goal.

Therefore, our approach is always to examine alternative treatment together with conventional medicine. This is especially so if the alternative treatment has these characteristics; is natural, has been tried and tested by fellow sufferers and helps even for those who have undergone conventional healthcare treatment. The H Miracle is one such viable option to hemorrhoid treatment.

Apart from conventional and alternative treatment, there are many DIY routines that you can do for yourself to avoid becoming a piles sufferer or if you are already one, to reduce your distress and counteract deterioration of the condition.

Healthy Lifestyle as a Habit

Cultivate this simple lifestyle habit – the balanced diet! Clichéd as it may sound but it is an irrefutable truth.

Excessive straining due to constipation, often dismissed as a minor inconvenience, is a major cause of hemroids. Accordingly, a major lifestyle objective should then be to ensure regular bowel movements comprising soft but bulky stools. With some discipline, this can be accomplished simply by including in our daily diet t least 30 gm of insoluble fiber found in fruits and leafy vegetables. Add to that 8 glasses of fluids. Fluids, unfortunately, do not include those with alcohol and caffeine content!

The balanced diet normally works fairly rapidly. But if your bowel demands are very urgent, you may also take plant-based fiber supplements. Methyl cellulose (extracted from vegetables) is commonly recommended. Sold under trade names like Citrucel or WillPowder, it passes through the intestines unprocessed and absorbs large amounts of water to produce a bulkier but easily expelled 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.

The daily objective of a fiber-packed diet is an imperative step in your hemroid treatment and recovery. This is regardless of whether you are already agonising due to hemorrhoids or is recovering from hemorrhoids after customary medical procedures.

Self-Treatment at Home

For those currently agonising 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:

• Avoid soaps with perfumes or dyes

• Do not rub the anal region

– use the shower or bidet to clean

– gently pat dry with a towel

• Blot dry the anus with

– damp toilet paper

– baby wipes

– pre-moistened mini-towels e.g. TUCKS Medicated Pads

– cleansing agents e.g. Balneol Hygienic Cleansing Lotion.

For itch and pain relief in hemorrhoid treatment, try one or all of the following:

• Apply ice (10-minute duration) several times a day

• Alternately apply 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) a few times a day

• Take a sitz bath (i.e. warm tub of water with a tablespoon of salt added)

• Apply hemorrhoidal creams or petroleum jelly (e.g. Preparation H)

Other relief methods:

• Lie down in bed – alleviates pressure on the inflamed hemorrhoids

• Avoid standing or sitting for prolonged periods

• Avoid lifting heavy things

• Wear loose cotton undergarments to prevent moisture formation

• Do NOT use the famed doughnut tire cushion – by restricting blood flow, it magnifies swelling!

• Diligently exercise – if nothing else, just brisk walking

• No matter how busy you are, discharge your bowels as soon as the urge occurs.

Self-help is an unavoidable part of hemorrhoid treatment. However, this is an IMPORTANT NOTE. Whenever any of the medicinal products mentioned above are used for piles treatment, you should seek the advice of the pharmacist at the drugstore 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.
