Need Help With Hemorrhoids? Follow These Tips

By Susan Cadiong


Internal and external hemorrhoids, which are also known as piles, affect millions and millions of adults every year. Many people are understandably reluctant to talk about hemorrhoids with others, which means it's a good idea to read the information that follows to help treat your hemorrhoids.

One way to lower your risk of developing external hemorrhoids is to practice better bathroom hygiene. Try using softer toilet paper that doesn't leave any behind, and keeping moistened wipes for using after doing your business.

If you are coping with the unpleasantness of hemorrhoids, do not be worried because there is relief out there for you. Sitz baths are very helpful. You can sit in one many times each day for several minutes each time. Another way to minimize the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids is to apply a cold pack to the affected area.

Continuing, if you have hemorrhoids, avoid using hygiene products containing oils, dyes and fragrances. Even short term exposure to products containing these additives can cause pain, itching or swelling of the hemorrhoids.

If you are prone to getting hemorrhoids, then you want to be sure that you are drinking enough water. Hydration will help prevent constipation, and keep your stools soft. Caffeine and alcohol consumption should be limited.

Dampen some pads or cotton balls with witch hazel, instead, then apply to the area for some temporary relief. Also, make sure that your diet contains plenty of fiber, and that you are drinking eight glasses of water every day. This reduces the amount of strain required to pass a bowel movement.

If you know why hemorrhoids happen and what they are, it will help you deal with them better. Find out as much as you can about this condition. The gist of it is that some nerve endings become swollen, which makes them painful to deal with.

You can lessen the pain of hemorrhoids by losing weight. Being overweight can exacerbate hemorrhoid problems. When there's excess weight in your abdominal area, it boosts the pressure in the veins throughout your posterior.

Not scratching your irritated hemorrhoids is a difficult feat of determination! You have to avoid scratching so you don't tear your skin. If they rip open they can be more painful, and you could get a bacterial infection.

You should not rely on using laxatives for long periods of time to deal with constipation, especially if you have hemorrhoids. Laxatives are for occasional use, not a long term remedy. Persistent bowel troubles may mean it is time to alter your diet so as to achieve more regularity.

Include plenty of high-fiber foods in your diet. If you increase your fiber intake, your stools will not be as hard. When the stool is soft, having a bowel movement involves less pressure on the tender tissues and helps reduce the pain. You can soften your stool by consuming plenty of fruit and fiber. Also, consider using cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum). It helps to equalize blood pressure and to remove built-up toxins in the blood that contribute to hemorrhoids.

Hydrate yourself often. If your body gets dehydrated, it will draw water from your intestines and stools. Your stool will harden and cause you to be constipated. You can avoid dehydration and hemorrhoids by consuming at least at least 64 ounces of water daily.

The information in this article should have given you some ideas about how you can more effectively treat your uncomfortable hemorrhoids. Implement these hints and tips to minimize your risk of developing this condition in the future.
