Recommended Hemorrhoids Treatment

Here are some ways to treat hemorrhoids naturally:

Diet that facilitates easy bowel movement

The main reason for the occurrence of hemorrhoids is constipation. In order to prevent constipation, you must eat fiber-rich foods because such foods help your stools become soft and bulky. Fibrous items in your diet could include beans, cabbage, sprouts, carrots, vegetables and fruits, whole grains and bran cereals. You can avoid development of hemorrhoids by avoiding non-fibrous foods like sugar, wheat, ice cream, cheese, processed foods and meat.

In order to strengthen the arteries in the rectum and prevent hemorrhoids from worsening, it is essential to consume more fruits and vegetables. Two important chemical compounds - Anthocyanidins and Pythochemicals - found in vegetables and fruits important for your diet to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels and veins.

Drink good amount of water

One important reason for hemorrhoids is constipation and you can control constipation by drinking lots of water every day. Intake of alcohol chili peppers will aggravate the hemorrhoids.

Diet that causes less acidic stools

It is advisable to reduce the acid levels in the stools to prevent itching of hemorrhoids. To facilitate this, you must avoid food items such as beer, wine, soda, citrus fruits and other acidic juices. Coffee as well as caffeinated products will cause flatulence, reduction in the anal sphincter pressure and increase in sensitivity of the anal skin.

Medications, dietary supplements and medicines

Your metabolism will be increased by drinking herbal tea; in addition, it eliminates the toxins in your body and strengthens your rectum arteries. The herbal items - butcher’s broom, barberry, neem, horse chestnut extract, Slippery Elm, Psyllium, Witch Hazel and White Oak Bark - are the most popular ones. Herbs can also be applied externally on the affected areas. Aloe Vera gel is the most popular item for this application and it gives cooling and soothing effect.

Sitz bathing

This treatment improves the blood circulation in the area affected so that the pain and swelling are reduced; the patient takes a warm water bath in a tub by letting the hips and buttocks into the warm water. In this treatment, the patient takes bath in warm water bathtub covering the buttocks and hips; this will increase the circulation of blood in that area thereby reducing the discomfort and swelling.

Exercise for breathing

Lie down facing the sky, breathe in and move your belly up; breathe out and lift your anus. Practice this exercise for 15 minutes, twice a day.

Practice regular workouts

Exercising regularly increases the blood circulation in your body which in turn helps in smoothing the bowel movement thereby avoiding the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Obesity also causes hemorrhoids, and by doing proper exercises, you can prevent being obese.
