If you have been diagnosed with hemorrhoids, a high-fiber diet combined
with sitz baths and Tylenol as prescribed often reduces discomfort
within two weeks. There are many ways of naturally treating hemorrhoids and it better to treat them as Alternative Ways to Cure Hemorrhoids:
- Eat to much Fiber. Eat a diet rich in fiber, especially fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, in order to ease bowel movements.
Drink plenty of water a day (8 glasses/day ) Drinking lots of fluid will help. - Bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are a type of plant compound found naturally in citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons. Diosmin, hesperidin, and oxerutins are they major citrus bioflavonoids. Thought to stabilize and strengthen veins and capillaries and reduce inflammation, clinical trials have shown that bioflavonoids can reduce bleeding, discomfort and pain during acute hemorrhoid flare-ups and also help symptoms in between flare-ups.
- Using witch hazel. Dabbing the hemorrhoids with a cotton wool ball soaked in undistilled witch hazel will also reduce swelling and pain as witch hazel is well known as one of the most effective tannin-rich herbs. You can also buy medicated wiping pads that contain witch hazel. They are usually moist and can be used in lieu of or in combination with toilet paper.
- Take a warm bath. Fill a bath with warm water (but not hot) to about 10cm. Sit in about three inches of warm water for 15 minutes, several times a day, especially after a bowel movement. This position will enable maximum exposure of the anal area to the warm water and will kill pain and soothe any irritation in the area.
- Add a handful of Epsom salts to the bath and make sure to stir the water well to dissolve the salt. Epsom salts can help to shrink and/or soothe the hemorrhoids.
Most hemorrhoid treatments aim to minimize pain
and itching. Hemorrhoids do not require immediate medical attention. Bright red blood
in the stool is a clear symptom of hemorrhoids and you can first try
some home treatment. However should you experience dark coloured blood
or black stool contact your doctor straight away as this could be a sign
of intestinal bleeding.
