So you want to cure a hemorrhoid?

For a large number of people, the first sign of a problem with hemorrhoids is when they go to the toilet and find that blood has been passed along with their stool. It is a very worrying moment and often leads to deep concern about their personal health and what might be happening in their body.

On the other hand, hemorrhoids, which are actually protrusions of swollen tissue that form in the anal canal and can also be located at the anal opening itself, can become very painful. Whenever hemorrhoids occur, patients may experience pain during bowel movements, often accompanied by anal itching, along with very tender protrusions that tend to bleed when swollen. This leads to bloody stools, which are also very common in this condition, especially if the hemorrhoids protrude or even overhang from the anal opening itself.

The peristaltic action of bowel movements helps a lot as this can cause the swollen vessels in the rectum to compress while fecal matter passes through the canal. This squeezing can cause bleeding, pain and often itching as the swollen, sensitive vessels are pressed against each other by passing stool and the canal wall. This is the nature of this condition.

So if you suffer from hemorrhoids and have been suffering from hemorrhoids for most of your life, you will be happy to know that there are ways to prevent the condition from recurring and some permanent ways to cure the condition.

Please note that the following guidelines can only be used if your hemorrhoid is relatively minor and you have no complications from the condition. If your doctor tells you that your hemorrhoids will go away on their own, you can definitely speed up the healing process without having to spend a lot of money on oral or topical medications.

If this sounds impossible or surprising, prepare for good news!

Medical institutions already offer effective guidelines that can help anyone combat hemorrhoids. So if you want to cure your hemorrhoids and prevent recurrence, follow these quick preventative steps:

1. Pregnant? Many women are at higher risk of developing hemorrhoids because both the amniotic sac and the baby put extra pressure on your pelvic region. If you are currently pregnant, be prepared to deal with them when they arise. Knowing how hemorrhoids become established will help you combat them if they occur.

This extra pressure can worsen existing hemorrhoids and even trigger the development of new ones. One way to reduce internal pressure is to sleep on your side. This may be difficult for some women, but trust us; It helps and is especially important in the last six months of your pregnancy.

2. If you get stuck in one position (sitting or standing), you are at risk of hemorrhoids and the existing hemorrhoids may become even larger. If you are a person who spends a lot of time sitting throughout the day, take time to stand up, walk around, or do light exercise to relieve pressure and keep things “normal.”

Take short, frequent breaks from whatever you are doing. For example, if you're driving around town most of the day, take a few minutes to stretch and walk around. This helps regulate pressure in your rectal and pelvic areas and can also be beneficial for your overall circulatory system.

3. Practice ergonomics when lifting heavy objects. For example, lift with your legs and not your back. When you lift with your legs, your strong leg muscles do most of the work, and your back and all other related regions are spared from excessive stress. Remember that breathing is also important while lifting. Exhale as you finally lift the object. Holding your breath only increases internal pressure, which can directly affect your GI tract and many other parts of your body.

4. Make an effort to eat whole foods rich in fiber. Fiber helps cleanse the GI tract and softens stools.
