How to Treat Your Hemorrhoids
Mood:  crushed out
You’re about to discover the 3 most popular hemorrhoid treatments and the way how they work to relieve your piles.

Before continuing with this short article I need you to understand that having piles is extremely common and easy to treat in the first stages of the condition, so you've nothing to worry about. I’d also like to recommend you a visit to a medical professional so that he can prescribe some of the meds used on the treatments we're about to discuss.

As in every other condition that involves medical treatment, the treatments that we are about to discuss will most certainly just alleviate the symptoms like the pain and swelling that accompany the piles. To completely eradicate piles out of your life you’ll also have to do some lifestyle changes and eliminate the behaviors that caused the excessive swelling of the veins.

The most used external hemorrhoid treatment that you’ll be exposed to is creams. These topical solutions are gently applied in the affected area and have properties that will help alleviate the pain and other symptoms by relaxing your hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink.  Most people find these creams beneficial but their hemorrhoids tend to erupt back again once in awhile.

Note: If you have external hemorrhoids there are some non prescription lotions available but check with your doctor first, just to be safe.

When it comes to an interior piles treatment solution, suppositories are often the first choice. These are used by people who suffer from internal piles that usually don’t cause pain but can be detected if blood is found on the stools or toilet paper.

Note: Colon cancer can also make you bleed through the anus so you should IMMEDIATELY consult your doctor if you found blood mixed with your stools.

After you insert the suppository in your anus, the suppository will increase the lubrication inside your anal cavity, preventing your hemorrhoids from rupturing during a bowel movement. Some people report positive results while others do not get any beneficial symptoms so you’ll have to test this method yourself and see what it works for you.

One last method that you can discuss with your medical professional is pills. The pills prescribed for hemorrhoids are designed to control the blood pressure in your body by tightening your veins. Once your veins get “stronger”, your piles will be less likely to bulge up again. Just make sure you talk with a medical expert about the side effects that can accompany the use of the pills.

Make some lifestyle changes such as getting a clean diet and avoiding lifting heavy weights while treating piles and see if the above treatments work for you. If you find them to be a failure, there are still other options such as surgery and holistic treatments. Take a look at the author’s blog to find out more about other hemorrhoid treatment options. Always ask your medical professional to determine the best hemorrhoid treatment for you. The author, Mark V. Gholler.
