External Hemorrhoid Treatment Without Surgery

There are two classifications of hemorrhoids. There are internal and external hemorroids. What are External Hemorrhoids? The external hemorrhoids are the fleshy growth of enlarged veins and tissues that bulge outside of the anus, right under the skin that is surrounding the anal opening. External piles occur along the anus and can be extremely painful and can cause bleeding in the anus. If you are experiencing this, have it checked out by your doctor. 

The causes of External Hemorrhoids are mainly due to constipation and straining during the bowel movements. Pregnancy can also be another cause. The most common cause is the prolonged sitting during a bowel movement. Sitting for long periods of time is also not at all good for External Hemorrhoids as it can worsen it. Other causes can be diarrhea, lifting heavy objects, poor posture, prolonged sitting, eating a diet low in fiber, anal intercourse, and being overweight.These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins causing them to swell.

One simple external hemorrhoid treatment is the taking of sitz baths. Fill your bath tub with warm water, just enough to cover the anal area. Soak for approximately 10-15 minutes. You need to do this several times a day. These baths are effective for relieving the pain and itching.

External Hemorrhoid Treatment With Garlic
Garlic can also be an effective external hemorrhoid treatment. Garlic contains healing properties which can reduce inflammation and make the veins stronger as well as destroy bacteria.
Remove the thin outer layer of skin from the garlic and then place it inside of the rectum. You don't have to worry about removing it because it will be eliminated the next day when you use the bathroom. This method is only recommended for hemorrhoids that are not bleeding.
