Hemorrhoids are swollen veins just inside the anus. They produce pain if they come out of the anus with a bowel movement because they are constricted. Once they come out, the skin around them and the veins themselves can become inflamed. Hemorrhoids are caused by increased pressure in the anal or rectal veins; responsible for this are constipation and strain while trying to have a bowel. Other things that may cause hemorrhoids are a low fiber diet, obesity, pregnancy, anal intercourse, heavy lifting and prolonged sitting or standing. There are many medications on the market today, most of which only offer temporary relief and do not promise any cure. Physicians recommend practical ways in which to relieve the swelling and pain like the sitz bath wherein the anal area is soaked in warm water and the use gels and jellies, but still they only give temporary relief. Some of the over the counter remedies even have harsh chemicals that may worsen the condition. The re-occurrence of hemorrhoids is high with these remedies. Ask your physician to use injection sclerotherapy on your hemorrhoid. Have her inject your hemorrhoid with a chemical that kills it. Use injection sclerotherapy on small internal hemorrhoids to replace your hemorrhoid with scar tissue that keeps the anal tissue from extending into the anal canal. Warm Baths: take sitz baths several times during the day using lukewarm water. This can soften the swelling and helps in killing the bacteria that cause the hemorrhoids. Straining yourself on the toilet will make your hemorrhoids worse. The reason those hemorrhoids came to be in the first place was probably because you're putting too much oomph into your potty time, pushing them down through the anal canal and resting them squarely where you sit. Just sit back, relax, and let nature take its course. High-fiber diet Eat more high-fiber foods, which will help prevent constipation. Good sources of fiber include breakfast cereals such as All Bran, Fiber One, Bran Buds, which have approximately 10 grams of fiber per serving. Check the box to be sure. Fresh fruit, beans, prunes, raw or cooked vegetables, especially asparagus, cabbage, carrots, corn, and broccoli, are also good sources of fiber. Try to have 20-30 grams of fiber per day (or more) in your diet. Good Hygiene: For you to get rid of hemorrhoids rapidly, always maintain proper hygiene especially in the anal area. Clean the anus each time you remove bowel by using moist toilet paper and soap. This can prevent bacteria in encroaching the area which as hemorrhoid. Puncture a vitamin E capsule with a push-pin. (You might even like to keep a push-pin in the bottle, as long as it is out of reach of children and brightly colored so you can spot it, too.) Surgical treatment is usually reserved for large hemorrhoids, chronic anal fissures or perirectal abscesses (5). Surgical treatment can include banding of the veins, surgical excision, laser or electrocautery and even injection of the veins with sclerosing agents that scar shut the hemorrhoid.
