An understanding of the Hemorrhoid Symptoms leads us to the question what can cause relief from this condition? The answer is several really. There are over the counter medications, surgical procedures, treatments which require no medication or surgery whatsoever and even local anesthetic treatments which provide temporary relief. Your condition determines what treatment is necessary.
One of the primary reasons why Bleeding Hemorrhoids whether internal or external happens is because of constipation. It is the pressure that is exercised on the anal sphincter during passing of the hard stool which aggravates the situation. When your fooding habits are irregular, you eat less of residual fiber in your diet and as a result your stool becomes hard. While you are trying to pass the same it is difficult and the pressures that are exercised by you on the anal sphincter to pass the stool cause the Hemorrhoids which are on the internal area of the anal canal to get pressurized and lead to the bursting of the blood vessels. So one simple treatment is increase the amount of dietary fiber.
What type of food has fibers? Cereals, fresh vegetables & fruits and grains have a decent quantity of fiber in them. Apart from the presence of vitamins, minerals and proteins the presence of fibers allows your stool to get softer and thus allow easy passing. Unfortunately the more industrialized we are the more away from dietary fibers are our food. As a result most Americans eat less than 20 grams of dietary fibers in their food every day.
There are several over the counter medications which are used as Hemorrhoids Cures. Hemorrhoid Cream is just one of them. If you are looking for an effective solution which is non-surgical try the Hemorrhoid Creams and sprays such as Hem-Relief, H-Hemorrhoids™ and Venapro for good results. However be careful when you are using them on the anus or inside the anal canal. Be it extremely gentle and try not to have nails on your finger which you will be using to insert in the anal canal. You could also use a form of pipe which can be used to insert the gel or cream in the anal canal.
Vasoconstrictors are a type of medication which is normally taken as a pill or an injection. There are however some variants which can be applied on the anus. When applied they constrict the blood vessels which reduce the swelling and thus also the chances of bleeding. These are generally very effective and are not known to have any major side effects to their use.
Dilation, Doppler ligation and sphincterotomy are some of the surgical methods that are also used to treat this condition. In dilation the anal canal is forcefully stretched to dilate the anal sphincter. Since the force exercised by the anal sphincter is the major reason why bleeding happens the thought is to reduce the pressure. However forceful stretching of the anal canal can cause side effects such as unable to control the bowel movement. Patients have sought not to use this treatment unless anything else is not suitable and the condition is dire.
We shall discuss the surgical cures in more details next.
