Learn The Recommended Hemorrhoid Treatment Approaches That Work!

By Alan Faulkner


Medication is not your only treatment option if you have hemorrhoids. A natural external hemorrhoid treatment can be very effective in easing the discomforts caused by this condition. Hemorrhoids, also commonly referred to as piles, are a subject that many people do not want to address. Some find it to be a major source of shame and embarrassment. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you do have piles, you are not alone. A person's chances of developing this condition increase with age. According to Mayo Clinic, roughly 50 percent of all American men and women will have hemorrhoids by their 50th birthday.

Photocoagulation for hemorrhoids uses high-intensity infrared light to remove hemorrhoids and it is also called infrared coagulation. The patient lies on his side with knees drawn towards the chest and the doctor inserts a proctoscope in the anal canal. The hemorrhoid is grasped and an intense beam of infrared light is directed to its base. The light forms scar tissue that forms a clot. This clot blocks blood flow and suffocates the hemorrhoid until it dies and falls out. The scar tissues also hold together the affected veins and prevent them from bulging out of the anus.

This treatment option offers permanent and fast relief to most patients. People who have undergone infrared coagulation have rarely had to come back for further treatments. Those who have suffered from piles but have not found home remedies effective find relief with this option. Results are fast and symptoms go away quickly. It is also safe to perform on elderly or sickly patients, which is not always the case for other medical procedures.

Home Treatment of Piles You can do a few things at home to relieve the itching and burning that is often associated with hemorrhoids. A sitz bath can be an effective external hemorrhoid treatment. Run just enough warm water into your bathtub to cover the anal area. Make sure the water is not too hot so that you won't burn yourself. Then get into the tub and relax. Stay in there for about 15 minutes. This method works best if you do it several times a day, especially after you have had a bowel movement.

Bed rest is also effective for relieving the pressure piles causes to the anal area.

Garlic Treatment Garlic can also be an effective external hemorrhoid treatment. Garlic contains healing properties which can reduce inflammation and make the veins stronger as well as destroy bacteria.

Remove the thin outer layer of skin from the garlic and then place it inside of the rectum. You don't have to worry about removing it because it will be eliminated the next day when you use the bathroom. This method is only recommended for hemorrhoids that are not bleeding.
