If you have hemorrhoids - methods to relieve discomfort (treatment at home)

Hemorrhoids are a common, progressive disease of the century.

Hemorrhoids, or hemorrhoidal disease, is characterized by alternating periods of exacerbation and clinically asymptomatic periods.

The risk of pathology increases if a person's lifestyle is inactive, adynamic.

The first method to relieve discomfort during hemorrhoids is to soften the stool, because the mass of this structure is easily expelled from the body and a person does not need to strain during the action of the stomach.

Mild pain and swelling can be managed at home, but in acute cases, it is necessary to consult a proctologist.

Self-medication is not allowed and you should call an emergency ambulance if you notice blood in the stool during bowel movements or have excessive bleeding from the rectum, severe weakness, a feeling of heart failure, dizziness and other symptoms.

Recommended:

  • Eat fiber-rich products (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds);
  • Buy an ointment intended for hemorrhoids at the pharmacy;
  • Take a painkiller;
  • Twice or three times a day, take a warm bath in the back of the body for 10-15 minutes (a kind of sitting bath on the toilet);
  • Drink water often;
  • Avoid straining, straining as much as possible during the operation of the stomach;
  • Avoid long sitting, immobility;
  • Follow local hygiene (back of the body);
  • Limit spicy, bitter and sour foods in the diet as much as possible.

With these treatment methods, the symptoms characteristic of hemorrhoids will disappear within a week. Consult your doctor if this recommendation is not effective (your general condition has not improved even after several weeks).
