Hemorrhoid Treatment Options - The Only Way To Fix Your Problem - By: Jamie R Lee

When it comes to remedying hemorrhoids, I have always said that surgery is really the final option in a market full of effective organic remedies and mild medicines. However, if the following points describe you well:

a) In pain for more than 7 days

b) In pain from alot of discomfort

Take my advice and consider them. In this article it was my goal to introduce you to the, occasionally overwhelming, options you have to cure a serious case of hemorrhoids. I've made it a simple to comprehend as I can for you.

The Solutions -

Rubber Band Ligation: This approach finds you laying down on your side, a doctor will then ask you to brace your knees up to your chest. A proctoscope is manipulated to enter the anal cavity and the rubber band will be applied to the stem of the hemorrhoid using forceps. The band causes the hemorrhoid to shrivel.

Pain Level: 6/10

Time Until Cured: It takes two to four procedures, done six to eight weeks apart to completely remove the hemorrhoid(s)

Risks: Possible contagions, concerns with the band coming off, anal blood loss

Sclerotherapy: In this operation an agent is injected in the infected varicose vein – often with the assistance of ultrasound technology for accuracy. The intention of this treatment is to coagulate the infected vein. A needle or syringle is used to apply a water-based/ foam (respectively) solution to the hemorrhoid.

Remedial Time: The operation generally takes between fifteen and thirty minutes. Within 3/ 5 weeks the hemorrhoid will close up, reducing in size.

Risks: Necrosis of the skin, exceptional bodily rejection of the operation, possible bloodloss

Cryotherapy:

A freezing cold solution known as liquid nitrigen is used to solidify the targeted vein so as to make it entirely inactive. It's popular because side effects are low.

Pain Level: 3/10 - After the treatment there may be a little discomfort but it soon subsides.

Remedial Time: As with other operations, may demand more than one procedure. Three days to three weeks.

Risks: Risks are extremely low, however, if a mistake is made liquid nitrogen can be a liability.

Infrared/Light Coagulation: Like cryotherapy this solution is very fast and is generally received well by people. A powerful laser is used to effectively burn away the hemorrhoid and transforms it into scar tissue.

Pain Level: 3/10 - Pain is very slight. A few days after the procedure you may experience a little soreness.

Healing Time: Again, this is entirely dependent on the severity of your piles - one operation per hemorrhoid is usually a safe assumption.

Risks: Mistakes are very improbable. Precautions are always taken.

Hemorrhoidectomy: This solution is really the last option because it is the most trauma-inducing. I've seen to it to do an exhaustive detailing of the hemorrhoidectomy. Please see underneath:

Pain Level: 9/10

Healing Time: You should be practically healed after two to three weeks.

Risks: You may see a lot of anguish early on after the operation, allergies to the operation, and rectal fissures.

The Hemorrhoidectomy

In most cases, hemorrhoids can be treated over time naturally through the right diet and viewpoint. However...

Sometimes the situation is just so bad, and so far 'down the line' that a hemorrhoidectomy really is the only solution.

A hemorrhoidectomy is an operation to completely remove the hemorrhoid (infected section of the varicose vein) with general anaesthesia. Subsequently, the new cut is stitched up to moderate the bloodloss. And finally sutured to conjoin the skin and allow healing to commence. The sutures will dissolve over the next several weeks and the wound will heal leaving no trace of hemorrhoid(s)

You will most likely recieve drugs after your surgery to help with the pain. And usually you'll hear about a few natural remedies to send you on your way to a speedy recovery.

As In The Following:

- Eat healthily – Plenty of fiber and water in your eating habits.

Sitting baths - these are always encouraged by all doctors. There are no side effects (providing the water isn't too hot that is) and the pain departs almost instantly. Take one three to five times a day, at fifteen minutes a time. Pour luke-warm water into your bath and gradually sink the sore area into it. If you want to accomplish the most out of your baths I highly advocate you add salt to the water and buy essential oils to hasten up the healing process. This way you can be certain you have kept the area clean and ensure the pain isn't too bad - you may even avoid the prescription drugs completely!

Ultimately, the hemorrhoidectomy does create the greatest affliction, and recovery time is the longest. But, it does also deliver you with the best 'fixitive' solution to never having piles again. I want to make one last comment, however. If you have a sub-par diet AFTER the operation, you give yourself the best chances of suffering once more - no cure is going to help you long-term if your lifestyle performs directly against the surgery.
