An inside look at hemorrhoid treatments
If you’ve ever had a case of hemorrhoids, then you know how annoying and painful they can be. It is quite a common fact that myriads of people suffer and do not go for help, because they are too ashamed of it. Naturally, they won’t go away on their own, and who’d rather do nothing until surgery is the only option left?
Remember, don’t wait too long before seeking some type of treatment! And most importantly, don’t quit smoking if you’ve tried some treatment options that haven’t worked for you. If you keep doing it, you can get rid of your hemorrhoids in the long run and never have to worry about them again!
Read on for some alternatives to treating hemorrhoids before they become advanced. As you can imagine, some are better than others, so let’s get started!
First, there are all kinds of creams and ointments in pharmacies. Smear these creams directly on the affected area to relieve inflammation. Although ointments may provide short-term relief for those with less severe cases, they don’t really address the ailment and you should prepare for the hemorrhoids to flare up again.
In most cases, if you are in the early stages, this type of treatment is all you need. However, there is a good chance that the hemorrhoid problem will flare up again over time.
You may also consider a suppository, which is supposed to help lubricate hemorrhoids to prevent friction and irritation, when inserted into the anus. The plan is for the lubrication to prevent friction long enough to allow healing to occur.
For those patients who do not suffer from advanced cases, it is a means to calm pain and provides a good temporary solution. Unfortunately, just like with ointments, this relief is only a temporary fix. The symptoms will come back eventually.
You might consider buying pills that people take to try to regulate blood pressure and shrink vein tissue at the problem site. If you are not concerned about possible side effects. But the fact that its effectiveness remains questionable.
Those three options are the most popular treatments prescribed by doctors and the medical community. Unfortunately, they can offer temporary relief at best. They can’t really have much of an impact, specifically with more advanced cases. In my opinion, it is always the best option to treat the ailment directly at the root cause rather than using an option that only provides short-term relief.
The field of medicine has recently developed a tunnel vision regarding the prescription of treatments. Instead, they might help people in general pay attention to alternative treatments when it comes to things like hemorrhoids.
