We all know that hemeroids are a pain in the butt and want to be rid of them as soon as possible. They itch, cause distress, soreness, pain and can also bleed, so we want to be rid of them as quickly as possible. This article also has some useful advice “Easy Home Treatments” .
However hemeroids or piles are a cause of embarrassment and often a source of amusement for others. So we don’t like talking about them and a few are even too embarrassed to go to the doctor. Fortunately there are a number of effective home treatments available.
There are two types of hemeroids or piles, internal and external.
External hemeroids or piles protrude from the anus while internal hemeroids or piles are in the lower intestines. Both types are distressing causing either mild discomfort or excruciating pain if left untreated. hemeroids or piles should not be ignored as they become worse and it is far easier to treat them before this happens.
Common Cause of hemeroids or piles
The most common cause of hemeroids or piles is constipation coupled with the straining to expel hard stools. This is due to increased pressure to the veins in the bowels causing them to rupture, creating a small pockets of blood. It is these small pockets of blood rather like varicose veins which are known as hemeroids or piles or piles.
As constipation is a major contributor to hemeroids or piles we should consider our diet and lifestyle. Increase the intake of high fibre foods like fresh fruits and vegetables (forget the frozen) together with wholemeal corn products and drink plenty of fresh water during the day. This will both aid your digestion and make “going to the bathroom” less painful. A little exercise is not only good for fitness but also your digestion. Get up and move around occasionally if you normally sit still for long periods.
Piles treatment: What can I do?
There are many good piles treatment available. A few I’ve tried and can recommend.
If your hemeroids or piles are very sore applying Venapro will help. It acts as a mild general anaesthetic and will make it easier going to the toilet.
Helping to clean the effected area after going to the bathroom is both easier, gentler and more hygienic using a bidet. Toilet paper however soft will cause itching and additional soreness therefore use wet wipes or a bidet,. This one is easy to install in place of the toilet seat and doesn’t require additional plumbing. After careful cleaning apply a cream (venapro), if your hemeroids or piles are internal you’ll need to use suppositories.
Hemeroids or piles are not common in countries that do not use the western type of toilet. Many experts believe that squatting instead of sitting to defecate is more natural and helps relax the anus and bowels. You can try putting something under your feet that will raise them about 10 to 12 inches when on the toilet, this will help.
Piles treatment – home relief
A simple and quick piles treatment is to put Ice on the effected area which will reduce the swelling. However this is to say the least uncomfortable! I would rather suggest a warm bath which will also relax the exposed hemeroids or piles and help to reduce inflammation.
There are a number of traditional piles treatment herbal cures easily available and can be applied at home. Witch Hazel, Butchers Broom and Aloe Vera are just a few.
To recap, ensure your diet is fibre rich and drink plenty of water this will keep your stools soft and prevent straining when going to the bathroom. Avoid sitting still for long periods of time and get some exercise. Clean yourself gently and preferably use a bidet. Reduce swelling with ice or a warm bath after which apply cream or a natural remedy like Witch Hazel.
