Seven Put-out-the-fire Ideas To Heal Hemorrhoids

By:


When there is itching, burning and irritation at bowel movements and during other times, you may possibly be experiencing the start of hemorrhoid problems. If you constantly strain hard or push forcefully to excavate, the result can be swollen tissue in the anus that turns into hemorrhoids if not treated properly. Here are seven ideas you can use on your own to put out the burning sensation.

Step 1 - Drink Your Water. That's right. When you drink enough water, it can work as a stool softner that costs nothing. You should drink a minimum of eight cups of water per day (8 ounces each).

Step 2 - Avoid Strenuous Exercise. We know working out for many people is a must. But strenuous exercises such as cycling and weight lifting can cause excess strain on the muscles. Yoga, swimming and aerobics are excellent ways to get in a good workout when hemorrhoids are in need of a break.

Step 3 - Try a Drugstore Hemorrhoid Relief. Available without a prescription, these treatments come in several varieties which include creams, pads and ointments. Disposable pads are convenient and don't stain undergarments. You can wear a cream or use an ointment at any time but then tend to work better at night while you're sleeping.

Step 4 - Take Care Wiping. Stop using any toilet tissue that has been treated with fragrance, dyes or chemicals. Try to use moistened toilet paper instead. Moisten your toilet tissue or invest in a hypo-allergenic wipe such as the ones used for diaper rash. Make sure the wipes can be flushed also.

Step 5 - Consume Enough Fiber. When you were a growing up as a kid, mom said eat your fiber and she was exactly right. Not consuming enough fiber can actually cause constipation and harder stools. Too little fiber in your diet can not only cause hard stools but also constipation. Fresh fruits and vegetables are excellent fiber sources. So are many varieties of beans and peanut butter.

Step 6 - Try A Suppository. Petroleum jelly may be the cheapest solution of all. Many of the suppositories available over the counter are made of the same type of ingredients. This means you can use an inexpensive generic brand and receive the same healing relief.

Step 7 - Give Yourself A Sitz Bath. Using warm water, not hot, fill your tub with 8 to 9 inches water and sit for 10 or 15 minutes. You can repeat this process three times a day. One cup of Epsom salts can be added but if you are a diabetic or have any other chronic illness, check with your physician first.

Although these seven steps are all great ways to heal hemorrhoids, they are no guarantee that you will be able to completely heal your hemorrhoids or that they won't return. As a rule, if symptoms do not clear up completely, recur within a few days or worsen during treatment, you should make an appointment to see your physician right away.
