Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are characterized by the inflammation of the rectal veins brought about by extreme and continuous pressure. The most common cause of this condition is constipation and over-straining, especially when defecating. Pregnant women are also prone to hemorrhoids due the weight and impact of the fetus on the lower extremities. Luckily, there are several hemorrhoid treatment available that can alleviate the common symptoms of the condition and provide comfort.
Topical creams
One of the most popular hemorrhoid treatments are topical creams made from natural ingredients. Witch hazel, for example, is a superb remedy for bleeding and pain. The herb has a natural property that is tremendously helpful for profusely bleeding hemorrhoids. Furthermore, this type of treatment is greatly effective when applied cold. Before applying the cream, place it in a bucket of cold water or ice for several minutes. You’ll find the witch hazel cream greatly effective not only alleviating the bleeding symptom but promoting comfort as well if used this way.
Walking
When you are suffering from the condition, you must remember not to worsen it by staying in sitting in one place for a long period of time. It’s crucial not to introduce any kind of pressure in the affected area; pressure in the hemorrhoids is the common effect of prolonged sitting. So, avoid this by moving around every hour or so. This is an effective hemorrhoid treatment especially for those whose work compels them to sit for hours on end.
Avoiding heavy objects
Another effective remedy or preventive approach is avoiding heavy objects. If your job calls for heavy-weight lifting, it will be very beneficial for the body if you take a sick leave for a couple of weeks. Lifting heavy objects while suffering from the condition can only worsen the already inflamed hemorrhoids. The pressure that lifting heavy objects put of the lower extremities can promote prolapsed hemorrhoids that are particularly hard to deal with through home remedies.
Warm baths
Sitting on a tub of warm water is also an effective hemorrhoid treatment that has been proven and tested. Also known as Sitz bath, this is done by preparing warm water and sitting on it for 10 minutes or for as long as you want. By doing this several times per day, you can promote the body’s healing mechanism and help it get rid of the condition in no time.
