How to deal with hemorrhoids easily

Hemorrhoids, more commonly known as hemorrhoids, are common in old people. They usually occur due to the application of extra pressure during bowel movements. Many people try different methods to get rid of hemorrhoids as quickly as possible, while others simply wait for them to go away. That leaves us with the question: Do hemorrhoids go away on their own?

Tips for pain

Many people hope that, like many other non-threatening ailments, they will go away after a while, but many others wonder whether hemorrhoids will go away on their own while secretly hoping that they will. Unfortunately, hemorrhoids do not go away without external help. There are many factors that put stress on hemorrhoids, such as extreme pressure during bowel movements, pregnancy and poor diet.

There are basically two types of hemorrhoids:

Internal hemorrhoids

External hemorrhoids

As mentioned earlier, hemorrhoids do not go away on their own and there is no specific period for them. Some people feel good again after a week or two, but if not treated properly, you may have to opt for surgery.

Here are a few home remedies you can use to relieve your pain or even treat your hemorrhoids.

• Sit in a tub of warm water at least three times a day to reduce inflammation. Remember to pat the anal area clean after bathing.

• Increase your fluid intake along with a gradual increase in fiber in your diet. This will act as a stool softener and take some pressure off hemorrhoids. This also helps prevent constipation from further aggravating hemorrhoids.

• Avoid sitting for long periods of time. Sit on rubber or air donuts. Add some form of exercise to your schedule. Add a light cardio routine to stimulate bowel movements. Don't avoid going to the toilet; Whenever you have the urge to go to the bathroom, take care of it. If you don't do this, the increased pressure can have a negative effect on the hemorrhoids.

• If possible, use OTC ointments or creams to relieve pain. These do not cure hemorrhoids, but they relieve the pain by numbing the area.

Medical procedures:

If the hemorrhoids have not gone away even after trying home remedies, you need to seek medical help. Currently, you can choose from many medical options available to you.

Medication:

• You can use medicated creams containing hydrocortisone to relieve your pain. It is not recommended to use these creams for a long time as they have a negative effect on the skin and can lead to atrophy.

Minimally invasive procedures

• In many cases, a blood clot forms in the hemorrhoids and in such cases, the doctor will use a simple invasive procedure to remove it.

Surgical measures

• In some extreme cases, surgery is unavoidable and may require you to be hospitalized and remain there for a day or two after surgery.
