How To Shrink Giant Sized Hemorrhoids Fast- 6 Simple Methods

One of the commonest complications of hemorrhoids is the formation of blood clots in the rectal veins to form thrombosed hemorrhoids.

Thrombosis though commoner amongst external hemorrhoids, can also complicate internal hemorrhoids. Thrombosed hemorrhoids are dark purple or black in color, they are associated with considerable edema and gross swelling of the pile veins and thrombosed external hemorrhoids can be very painful.

Treatment should be commenced promptly once thrombosis sets in to relieve the extreme pain and swelling.

The following simple home based treatments can be used to relieve the thrombosis:

1-Sit in a tub filled with warm water covering up to your thighs and hips several times in a day, spending about 15 minutes in the water at a time. This method known as the sitz bath technique relieves the pain and swelling of thrombosed hemorrhoids temporarily without really preventing future flare ups.

2-Soften your feces to reduce straining during defecation, you can do this by consuming high fiber foods and drinking lots of fluids and water. Good examples of high fiber foods include green vegetables and citrus fruits.

3-You can apply ice packs made up of either iced cubes or iced peas directly to the thrombosed piles to soothe the inflammation and pain quickly but briefly.

4-Application of over the counter creams and lotions containing anti-inflammatory and anesthetic agents can reduce the inflammation and cause numbing of the very painful anal area, howbeit temporarily. However if the thrombosed hemorrhoids are very big and associated with very severe pain these creams and lotions should be used with a lot of caution as their application on the grossly inflamed veins can irritate the veins further.

5-You can take oral painkillers like oruvail, celebrex, and ibruprofen to bring down the severe pain superficially. These drugs however have to be used with a lot of caution in people with a history of known peptic ulcer disease associated with abdominal pain.

6-You can also make use of eastern herbs and roots which improves the blood flow and dissolves the blood clots in the thrombosed pile veins immediately. This leads to rapid reduction in inflammation and quick reduction in the size of the swollen tissues.

These herbs give a more permanent relief of symptoms because they also act on the other not presently affected veins of the butt region to strengthen them and to improve the flow of blood in and out of them.
