In this article I’m going to explain to you how the 3 most used hemorrhoid treatments work and what I’d honestly expect from each one of them.
Let’s face it, you are here because you’re either unsatisfied with the treatments available to you, or you’ve just recently discovered you suffer from hemorrhoids and you are hoping to find someone who can help because you don’t have a clue of what to do. Both situations are perfectly normal and I understand how frustrated you must be feeling right now.
An important thing that I want you to understand first is that most non surgical hemorrhoid treatments that you’ll be exposed to, do not fix the actual cause of the problem. They simply alleviate the symptoms. If you really want to get rid of this persistent condition than I recommend you learn more in depth what causes hemorrhoids so that you can eliminate the behaviors that caused them in the first place.
The most used external hemorrhoid treatment that you’ll be exposed to is creams. These topical solutions are gently applied on the affected area and have properties that will help alleviate the pain and other symptoms by relaxing your hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. Most people find these creams beneficial but their hemorrhoids tend to erupt back again once in awhile.
Note 1: There are some non prescription creams available but I recommend you talk with your doctor to find out what’s the best one for you.
When it comes to an internal hemorrhoid treatment solution, suppositories are often the first choice. These are used by people who suffer from internal hemorrhoids that usually don’t cause pain but can be detected if blood is found in the stools or toilet paper.
Note 2: If you found blood on those places you have to IMMEDIATELY consult with your doctor as there’s also a possibility of being colon cancer.
Suppositories are inserted in your rectum through the anus and create lubrication which protects your piles from rupturing when you have a bowel movement. You’ll have to test this method yourself and see how it works for you as results vary from person to person.
The third hemorrhoid treatment method I want to talk to you about is pills. These are basically drugs that will control the blood pressure on your body and tighten your veins tissue. Once your veins are stronger, your hemorrhoids will be less likely to bulge up again. Some of these pills have some nasty side effects so make sure you talk them out with your doctor.
If you’ve already tried all these methods with no success, you still have other options such as surgery and alternative treatments. The success of these treatments will vary from case to case and depend on the severity of your condition. Just make sure you try safer options before going into more drastic ones (unless you really have to).
PS: On my next post I will share with you a new website that I recently stumbled on that seems quite interesting…
