Cure for Hemroids

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
