Hemorrhoids Surgery - Gone Are The Days Of Serious Pain - By: Jamie R Lee

I would put forward a guess that if you've suffered from piles, many treatments just haven't worked for you. In this piece my goal is to fill you in on the antidotes that actually work, so you avoid all of the others.

One or two of the treatments may be a shade on the controversial side, but don't let that concern you. The little 'unknowns' are very often the best. Further, you'll be able to couple the appropriate treatment to your own case.

Ointments and Creams

These solutions physically contact the area of infection and soothe the inflammation.

I should say, though, that the good-feeling is not forever. After some time, the hemorrhoid will swell again.

Are they beneficial enough? That's up for you to determine.

This approach serves as a swift remedy - much like a Mcdonald's meal. But when it comes down to it, other options are more advisable simply because they have more long term advantages.

Suppositories

This approach should also be seen with a healthy dose of scepticism. They are placed into the rectum to provide moisture and lubrication to the swollen varicose vein.

You'll find that some folks think they are fast-acting, and others won't experience any benefit at all. It's important to know, however, that it does depend on the severeness of your case.

As they are not very pricey it may be worth a try, but they are not the most efficient solution.

Pills

Tablets for hemorrhoids moderate your bodies blood pressure. By taking them as long as you have hemorrhoids your varicose veins get a boost in effectiveness and durability.

While the outcomes are relatively quick, they also come with their fair share of possible side effects such as sickness, effects on vision and sleepiness.

The Fixative Solution

Only after all the other solutions have been tried, should you view surgery as an option. Surgery is a major decision to make, better that it comes directly from your physician.

However, (you knew that was coming didn't you!) it certainly comes with side effects:

- Future risks to infection and physical damage

- Possible allergic reactions to surgical intervention.

- Operating mistakes

Remedy/ More info

- Rubber Band Ligation: In this method small rubber bands are applied to the base of the hemorrhoid, effectively suffocating the hemorrhoid.

- Sclerotherapy: An agent (either liquid or foam) is injected into the infected varicose vein, sealing off blood through the hemorrhoid.

- Cryotherapy: The offending varicose vein is frozen into submission, leaving nothing but a clean scar.

- Infrared coagulation: Heat is the element of choice here. High temperatures are used are while it can cause pain, it's a very fast procedure.

- Hemorrhoidectomy: An operation like this is generally the result of your doctor's recommendation. While it can result in tenderness for a time, the effects are typically long-term.

Other Avenues You Have

In my opinion, natural cures are the very best way to go. Why? Well, they are affordable, simple, home-bound and free of side effects in most cases - what is there NOT to love about them? See below:

- Lidocaine -- Lidocaine is applied to the infected area and numbs the sensation of pain and irritation. But it's important to know that while the effects are rapid-acting, there is no reassurance that hemorrhoids won't return later in life.

- Highly fibrous diet -- Without a doubt this is the very best long-term approach to holding hemorrhoids at bay.

- Pilewort -- The pilewort herb is an age old soldier against external hemorrhoids. If you have them, try this as soon as you can. And if you like your tea you're in for a gift - drink it with your morning toast.

- Emu oil: This oil is recommended for external piles. It helps to reinforce your muscles and so lessen the chance of hemorrhoids.

- Sitting baths: The isn't a physician out there who won't vouch for a sitting bath - very safe and very efficient. 3 times a day run a little bath of lukewarm water deep enough to dip the diseased area in. Soak for 10 – 15 mins each time.

Finally, pepper the water with salt or baking soda, and tip in some essential oils to work their magic.
