Hemorrhoid Surgery for Mild to Severe Cases

By Debbie J. Parker

Hemorrhoids, or piles, are caused by the excessive pressure on the blood vessels and skin in and around the anus and rectum. Although hemorrhoids per se are natural parts of our bodies, these can become inflamed due to various factors like constipation, old age, pregnancy, anal sex, and obesity and even lifting of heavy weights.

Fortunately, there are hemorrhoid cures that focus on herbs and lifestyle changes that you can adopt at the first instance of their appearance. You must consult with your doctor, however, as some herbal preparations can cause adverse side effects like allergic reactions.

This means you have to do a little research so you can figure out the best option for you. Most of these come from Chinese traditional medicine or Ayurvedic medicine.

Today we want to give you a few options that contain various herbs. Hopefully you will find the best one to cure your issues with hemorrhoids:

* Aloe vera soothes the swollen skin, which acts as an herbal ice pack of sorts

* Indian gooseberry has a strong laxative effect especially when combined with rhubarb

* Ink nut is good for both bleeding and dry hemorrhoids

* Honey is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that significantly contribute to lessening the swelling and pain of the hemorrhoids

* Witch hazel acts as an astringent, which is often used in soothing anal pads

* Chamomile teas aid in digestion, thus, making it easier to pass stool and lessening the irritation on the hemorrhoids

There are countless other herbal hemorrhoid cures available. You must, however, exercise caution in using them as some quack remedies will worsen the condition. Just to be safe, ask your doctor so that whatever herbal preparations you are taking will not react adversely with your medications.

When it comes to the lifestyle changes, you just need to be healthier o your body can ward off infections betters. The easiest way to do this is by consuming foods with high-fiber counts. Whether its fruits, veggies, whole grains and nuts, or other you think of, they can soften the stool and make it easier to have a bowel movement without any stresses. It's probably the most common hemorrhoids natural treatment out there.

Did you know you can use a squatting position when you go to the bathroom to help? Even though it doesn't sound natural, when taking this stance you will be able to lessen the stress on your anus and rectum. The problem is you won't find too many squat toilets around your neighborhood or in local restaurants.

Try sleeping with your legs raised as well. Granted this isn't the easiest thing to do, but it eases the pressure.

Fourth, warm sitz baths and ice packs can help relieve the pain of hemorrhoids. Sitz baths soothe the skin while ice packs lessen the swelling, two hemorrhoid cures that come hand in hand.

When all these hemorrhoid cures are combined, you have more chances of beating your hemorrhoids. And you will not have to spend plenty of money to have them removed via surgical methods.
