You may have the condition known as hemorrhoids but don’t be overly concerned as it is a common condition and help is available. Millions of people are affected with hemorrhoids. Studies have shown that as many as half of all adults have had hemorrhoids one time or more in their lives. Many over the counter remedies are recommended, yet most of these don’t actually solve the problem. Research has definitively shown that it’s much more effective to cure the problem using natural means that treat the cause and prevent the problem from returning.
Two types of hemorrhoids are possible, external and internal. Most people have the internal type and don’t even know. Internal type hemorrhoids cause painless bleeding which shows up in the toilet after a bowel movement. The external type is the most bothersome and are often very painful. Symptoms of hemorrhoids include irritation in the anal area and acute pain in the rectum.
The most common causes of hemorrhoids…
Constipation and straining when on the toilet.
Poor Western diet high in fats and low in fibre.
Regularly sitting down for extended periods.
Insufficient exercise causing slow metabolism.
Severe coughing.
Pregnancy and Labour.
Lifting heavy loads improperly.
High alcohol consumption.
Being excessively overweight.
The elderly are at much higher risk.
There are several effective measures available for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
A 15 or 20-minute Sitz bath will reduce swelling and give relief. 3 times or more per day is very beneficial. Be most careful when drying the area so as not to make matters worse. Ice cubes placed on the distressed painful region will also help. Try using a hemorrhoid cream or ointment 3 to 4 times per day.
Since diet is one of the main causes for this problem your natural hemorrhoid treatment should start with diet correction. You will have to cut down on fat from the diet, caffeine, high sugar content, processed food, fast food, and other foods, which can make you constipated. Change to a high fibre diet instead such as whole grains cereals salads and vegetables etc instead. I changed my diet to eating a bowel of natural muesli each morning and it did wonders. In addition be sure to drink more water. and you should see a marked improvement in your bowel movements.
For treatment to be successful treat the symptoms to get relief and address the causes to stop reoccurrence. If this is your first instance of hemorrhoids then you should take notice. This is your chance to do something. Listen to your body and take action to nip this problem in the bud now, while you can. If you don’t treat this seriously and take appropriate action, it is sure to get worse. You don’t want this problem to get so bad that you will require surgery.
According to one clinical study, more than a third of advanced-stage hemorrhoid sufferers were unsatisfied with the results of surgery. (source: Surgical Endoscopy. 2008 Nov; 22(11):2379-83)
Even after costly surgical removal, you have no guarantee that the hemorrhoids won’t return. Your hemorrhoids could still come back and you would be faced with the same situation all over again.
