Home Treatment and Natural Cure

Hemorrhoids, (often misspelled as hemroids or hemoroids) and sometimes referred to as “piles” afflict 5% of Americans at any given time. For most people they are benign, painless and cause little – if any – inconvenience and sometimes disappear without any treatment. For others though, they can cause a range of symptoms from mild, itchiness to intense itchiness and excruciating pain.

Commonly the first indication that a person may be suffering from hemorrhoids is a small amount of bright red blood on the toilet paper and this will often be an indication of internal hemorrhoids, which fortunately are usually not painful.

Hemorrhoid treatment varies and some may find sufficient relief from a mild analgesic. A doctor can prescribe a soothing cream containing steroids to reduce inflamation and while this is often helpful, it does little to cure the underlying cause. Unfortunately, many people will require surgery.

Hemorrhoids home treatment should always be the first line of action. There are several things that can be done for hemorrhoid pain relief. Following a fiber rich diet and and drinking plenty of water may prevent hemorrhoids from becoming worse. Sometimes bed-rest and a warm bath with a little baking soda or salt dissolved in the bath water may help with the symptoms, but probably do little to treat the underlying condition.

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids have been described as one of the most painful experiences outside childbirth. This pain is a result of a blood clot forming in an external hemorrhoid and causing it to become inflamed as a result.
