Hemorrhoid Treatment  - Hemorrhoids often disappear by themselves within a few days, but there are many treatments to relieve itching and discomfort. Makes a simple dietary change and does not hurt during a bowel movement, usually advised by a doctor as an initial treatment.

Sometimes a more invasive treatment is required. This treatment depends on the location of the hemorrhoids. Whether the hemorrhoids are above, below, or on the dentate line (dentate line). The dentate line is the boundary line on the anal canal wall that separates the area that is able to feel the pain of an area that is unable to feel. Handling without surgery on the hemorrhoids will be very painful if the hemorrhoids grow at or below the dentate line. Because the nerves in that area can detect pain. If this happens, a hemorrhoid surgery will be recommended.

Changes in Diet and Self-Maintenance
If the hemorrhoids are caused by constipation, you should try to keep the stool soft and you can defecate regularly. The goal is that you do not push while defecating. To do that, you can increase your fiber intake in your diet. Some good sources of fiber are breads from whole grains, cereals, fruits, and vegetables.

Tap slowly into the butt area instead of wiping it.
After defecation, use soft tissues or use special baby tissue to clean the buttocks area. Do not wear dry and coarse textured toilet paper.
Avoid straining during defecation, this habit can aggravate hemorrhoids.
Recommended Type of Treatment
An ointment that can be bought freely

A variety of creams, ointments, and suppositories are available at drug stores without the need for a prescription. Suppository is a type of medicine that is inserted directly into the anus. Such drugs can be used to relieve the swelling or discomfort felt by the patient.

Do not use any of the above medications for more than one week, unless the doctor advises. These products can cause side effects such as rashes and inflammation. All types of treatment should be combined with a good diet and keep introspective. There is no evidence of which treatment is more effective. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about products that work for you.

Do not forget to read the guidelines on each drug before using or consuming it. It is not advisable to use more than one drug product simultaneously.

Use of corticosteroid cream

If you have inflammation or inflammation inside or around the anus, your doctor will recommend the use of corticosteroid cream. Do not use this cream more than seven days in a row. This cream can make the skin around the anus thinning and worsen irritation.

Pain relief medication

Paracetamol as one of the painkillers, can help relieve pain due to hemorrhoids. Avoid painkillers like codeine. This drug can cause and worsen constipation.

Products containing local anesthetics may also be advised by doctors to treat hemorrhoids. For example a topical treatment that can be purchased directly, and should only be used for several days. Oles can make skin more sensitive. This drug can help some people who experience a very painful hemorrhoids. Ask your doctor before taking this medicine.

Use of laxatives or laxatives

If you have constipation, your doctor will give you a laxative or laxative prescription. This type of treatment will help smooth the process of defecation.

Handling of Hemoroid Without Surgery
If dietary changes and medication do not produce results, the doctor will refer to a specialist. The specialist can make sure you are suffering from hemorrhoids and suggest appropriate treatment.

If the hemorrhoids are found to be above the dentate line, non-surgical procedures such as binding or sclerotherapy will be recommended.

Binding of hemorrhoids

This binding involves an elastic strap fastened firmly on the base of the hemorrhoids to cut off the blood flow. Without blood flow, hemorrhoids will be released after a week of treatment.

This binding process is a daily procedure. This process does not require anesthesia and the patient can return to normal activities the next day. Discomfort and pain may appear for a day or two. Oral pain medication is effective enough to overcome this pain. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe a drug with a much stronger dose.

You may not realize when the hemoroid is released. Usually will be released when you defecate. If you notice any mucus or mucosa within seven days after the binding procedure, the hemorrhoids are removed. After binding, there will be a little blood on the toilet paper. That's normal, but there should be very little bleeding. If you have a lot of bright red blood or blood clots, go immediately to the nearest emergency department.

Tukak or wound may appear on the binding site. Tukak usually heal by itself without treatment. To know more, consult a doctor.

Injection of sclerotherapy

Treatment with the name sclerotherapy may be used as a substitute for binding of hemorrhoids. In the sclerotherapy process, chemical solutions are injected into the veins of the anus. This injection will relieve pain by making nerve endings become numbness at the injection site. This injection also makes the hemoroid tissue hardens and eventually formed a wound. After about one and a half months, the size of the hemorrhoids will be smaller or shrink.

After the injection, avoid exhausting exercise throughout the day. You may feel temporary pain or slight bleeding. You should be able to resume normal activities, including work, a day after the injection of sclerotherapy.

Coagulation with infrared
Infrared coagulation is sometimes also used to treat hemorrhoids. In the process, a device emitting infrared light is used to burn the hemorrhoidal tissue. This step also serves to cut off blood flow.

In addition to infrared, the same procedure can also be done using an electric current. This method is better known as diathermy or electrotherapy for hemorrhoids.

Although most hemorrhoids can be treated with the methods described above, there are 10 percent of all hemorrhoids patients who eventually have to undergo surgery.
