Conventional Hemorrhoid Treatments

If you suffer from hemorrhoids, you'd know how frustrating and painful they can be. Many people suffer in silence and are embarrassed to seek help. Left untreated, hemorrhoids can become worst and surgery may be required.

The conventional hemorrhoid treatments are creams, ointments, suppositories and pills.

Creams and ointments are applied to the anus area to soothe blood vessels and reduce inflammation. They provide temporary relief from hemorrhoid symptoms but do not address the cause of the problem. Hence, it is likely for hemorrhoids to flare up again.

Suppository is inserted into the rectum to provide moisture and lubrication, so the affected area can heal.

Pills regulate blood pressure and tighten vein tissue in the hemorrhoid. It remains questionable whether pills can address the problem and they may cause potential side effects.

Causes Of Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids or piles affect as many as 50% of people and occur most often in the middle aged group. Hemorrhoid are veins or blood vessels around the anus or lower rectal area that have become swollen or inflamed.

Some of the common causes of hemorrhoids are:
- straining during bowel movements
- prolonged sitting or standing
- pregnancy

Constipation is the most common cause of hemorrhoids. Straining causes the veins around the anus to swell. Increase your water and fiber intake to prevent constipation. Avoid excessive consumption of processed foods.

Hemorrhoids can develop from prolonged sitting or standing. These positions can place unnecessary strain to the bowel region.

Hemorrhoids are common during pregnant women. The growing uterus puts extra pressure on the pelvic veins and inferior cave which is the vein that receives blood from the lower limbs. The increased pressure slows the blood flow from the lower half of the body and causes the veins below the uterus to become swollen or inflamed. This type of hemorrhoids usually disappear after pregnancy.
