The Secret To Effectively Dealing With Hemorrhoids


Hemorrhoids are often caused by Sitting for long periods of time, straining of bowel movements, constipation, anal infections and even cirrhosis of the liver. They frequently cause great pain. This article can help you find treatments and prevention methods to lessen attacks and reduce severity.

There are two types of hemorrhoids that are common in humans and while they have many similarities there are also several key differences. The most common and easiest type of this is an external hemorrhoid which is really not all that different from a varicose vein and can be treated very easily.

Do you have hemorrhoids and you need immediate relief? Look no further than your kitchen to find a product which will provide this relief. Grab that bottle of apple cider vinegar from your cabinet and pour a small quantity on a cotton swab. Dab the swab on the inflamed area. Repeat this treatment twice a day. You can also pour half a cup of apple cider vinegar in a sitz bath and experience immediate hemorrhoid relief.

Do not spend too much time on the toilet waiting for a bowel movement to happen. It will only happen when your body is ready to make it happen. Sitting on the toilet reading a book for an hour is not going to help at all. Only try to go when you have the strong urge to go.

Don't depend on medications. Stimulant laxative drugs such as Bisacodyl tablets are meant to be used on a short-term basis and will not cure constipation. They may help with one bowel movement, but you'll be more constipated later. Side effects may include upset stomach, diarrhea, stomach cramps, faintness and stomach & intestinal irritation.

At the beginning of the article, many causes of hemorrhoids were discussed. There are many causes, but they are also many treatments and preventative measures. By educating yourself about hemorrhoids and their causes, you can help to keep them from happening and reduce the painful symptoms when they do occur.
