PostHeaderIcon What can I do to cure bad hemorrhoids?

I’m 8 months pregnant and have horrible hemorrhoids, It hurts to get up it hurts to sit down, I don’t know if I can use preparation H, I also was wondering what else I can do for them I’m miserable!

Apply an ice pack (with a soft covering) to the affected area several times a day. Ice may help decrease swelling and discomfort. Some women find cold compresses saturated with witch hazel to be soothing.

Soak your bottom in warm water, in a tub or a sitz bath. A sitz bath is small plastic basin that you fill with water and position over your toilet, allowing you to submerge your rectal area simply by sitting down.

Try alternating cold and warm treatments. Start with an ice pack followed by a warm sitz bath.

Gently but thoroughly clean the affected area after each bowel movement using soft, unscented, white toilet tissue, which causes less irritation than colored, scented varieties. Moistening the tissue can help, too. Many women find using pre-moistened wipes more comfortable than using toilet tissue. You can buy medicated wipes (such as Tucks) made specifically for people with hemorrhoids.

Ask your healthcare practitioner to recommend a safe topical anesthetic or medicated suppository. There are many hemorrhoid-relief products on the market, but consult your practitioner before trying one on your own. Most of these products should be used for a short course of treatment only (a week or less). Continued use can cause even more inflammation.

Up your fibre intake but eating products such as All Bran in the morning, and drinking heaps of water. This can alleviate straining and constipation which is one of the main contributors to hemorrhoids.

PostHeaderIcon Is there another Options than Hemorrhoids Surgery? for hemorrhoids treatment?

i am scared of surgery, but i am really in pain… What should i do?

I am Dr. Nelson. Needing surgery for anything can be scary, especially if you aren’t informed about all of your options, what to expect, and exactly what will be done. Hemorrhoid surgery is no exception.

Hemorrhoids are usually not serious enough to require surgery if taken care of right away. But if they are not taken care of, if hemorrhoid treatments don’t work, if they are a recurring problem, or if they are extremely painful, bleeding, thrombosed, prolapsed, or strangulated, then they may require hemorrhoid surgery.

Traditional hemorrhoid surgery (also called Hemorrhoidectomy) consists of removing the affected hemorrhoid veins and any surrounding tissue that may also have become inflamed and sore due to having hemorrhoids. The veins affected by serious hemorrhoid problems can be stretched, out of shape, and possibly bleeding. Removing them is sometimes the best option if there has been recurring problems, a lot of bleeding, or a strangulated hemorrhoid.

What to Expect

Hemorrhoid surgery may require staying in the hospital for at least one night. There are occasions when it can be done on an outpatient basis, however, and you can be allowed to go home later in the same day.

When you are being prepared for hemorrhoid surgery, you might have to follow a particular diet, one that will make your stools soft and possibly even require a stool softener or laxative to help rid your colon and lower intestines of fecal matter. This will make contamination during surgery less of a risk. You may also be given an enema to make sure that there is nothing remaining in there during the surgery.

Using an instrument called an anoscope to see the hemorrhoid and the surrounding area, the surgeon will tie off the vein that supplies blood to the hemorrhoid and remove the hemorrhoid as well as some of the tissue around it.

After having the surgery, you can expect some pain and discomfort and also to be monitored closely to make sure you are healing well. You may be given painkillers as well as a laxative to help you with your bowel movements while the area heals. You will be monitored for bleeding, pain, and drainage of fluid, asked if there is any throbbing or muscle spasms in your rectal area, and checked for fever and constipation. You can expect recovery time to be anywhere from two to three weeks.

While hemorrhoid surgery may be considered the most effective answer to getting rid of hemorrhoids and the best option for avoiding a recurrence of hemorrhoid problems, it is not the only answer to treating severe hemorrhoids. Ask your doctor if he or she considers you a candidate for a less invasive hemorrhoid treatment that might take care of the problem with less pain and recovery time.

Hemorrhoid surgery may be the best choice for you, but checking into the other options will give you a clear mind about taking the steps you need to hopefully be free of hemorrhoids for good. Talking to your doctor should give you all the information you will need to decide if hemorrhoid surgery is for you.

PostHeaderIcon Can any oral Antibiotics help with or cure hemorrhoids?

And if so what ones?

You can use a chemical based antibiotic hemorrhoid medicine that is prescribed by doctor. The pro of such option would be that it will probably take away the pain after a few weeks. The cons would be that it will cost money for the check up and prescription. And don’t forget that if you stop taking antibiotics after the symptoms are gone, they will come right back because antibiotics must be taken for what seems like eternity, before you can comfortably continue on with your day to day routine.

If you want to permanently cure your hemorrhoids problem, change your diet, and eat fiber rich foods. You can try a natural treatment program, called H Miracle. It’s one of the best hemorrhoid treatment program today. And the best thing is, it’s all natural. I suggest you check it out.
