When you have discovered you have hemroids or have
been diagnosed with this condition, you will be anxious
to find a cure for hemroids. Hemroids are abnormally
swollen veins in the rectum and the anus and they
are much like varicose veins you might see on a person’s
legs. When these hemroids are irritated, they can
cause the surrounding membranes to swell, burn, itch,
become very painful and even bleed. So it is important
to treat your hemroids with a hemroid cure as quickly
as possible.
The best hemroids cure is to start a course of home
care combined with an over the counter or
natural type of treatment to give a holistic strategy
that deals with the problems of hemroids both on the
topical and underlying levels.
Preventing constipation is part of your hemroids
cure
This means including more fiber in your diet with
fresh fruits, leafy vegetables and whole grain breads
and cereals (a total of between 25 to 35 grams of
fiber daily); drinking plenty of liquids with at least
6 to 8 glasses of water daily; taking exercise such
a 20 minute brisk walk daily; avoiding alcohol; losing
weight if necessary; and not sitting or standing for
long periods at a time.
Helping the pain and discomfort is part of your hemroids
cure
This means frequent soaking of the affected area
in a bowl of warm water; cleaning the area after each
bowel movement and at other times by using baby wipes
or special medicated wipes for hemroid sufferers;
only using white, unscented toilet paper because of
the risk of irritation; using ice packs, cool compresses
or cool cotton pads soaked in witch hazel applied
several times daily to the affected area; using a
mild pain reliever (which must not contain codeine);
and applying a cream containing witch hazel or one
containing hydrocortisone to the area for the itching
or pain (always refrain from scratching the area as
this can make the problem even worse).
Establishing good bowel habits is part of your hemroids
cure
This means being careful about the use of laxatives
as only bulk forming laxatives should be taken such
as Fiberall or Metamucil; training yourself to have
a bowel movement regularly every day; if you feel
the urge for a bowel movement, not to put it off;
avoiding straining or holding your breath while having
a bowel movement; practice being relaxed and giving
yourself the time to let it happen naturally; and
avoiding sitting on the toilet too long (a maximum
of 3 to 4 minutes).
Over-the-counter, natural healing products or surgical
procedures are also part of your hemroids cure
