The great news is that hemorrhoid treatments do exist.
Despite being painful in some cases, hemorrhoids are certainly not incurable.
In the following article, I'll outline a number of treatments that have been proven to work.
It is worth nothing that there are a great number of treatments available, and they can be split up into different categories; home hemorrhoid treatments, natural treatments and surgical treatments.
The last option is clearly the option of last resort for many, as the former two offer a relatively pain and risk free way of dealing with hemorrhoids.
One of the best around, that is non-invasive and able to be done at home, is simply treating the ailment with a slightly warm bath.
This improves circulation, reduces inflammation and swelling of the hemorrhoid, which in turn eases the pain.
Yet this takes quite a while longer than other, more invasive options, and is only really appropriate for external hemorrhoids that are relatively small.
Any hemorrhoid treatments should always be consulted with a doctor first.
While it pays to be informed about the hemorrhoid treatments available to you, it is still important to remember that a doctor can make a more informed choice and be able to tell you what the best option is for you.
Alternative hemorrhoid treatments include over the counter medication.
Whilst having a proven track record, there is also the potential for the treatment to result in unwanted side effects.
People usually find that a mixture of both home and over the counter medications to do the trick.
A lot of people ease the pain of bowel movements and passing waste by taking laxatives.
Whilst strictly not a hemroid treatment, they go a long way to preventing further damage to the veins surrounding the anus and help to reduce pain.
Coupled with warm water and other solutions like over the counter medication, it proves to be a somewhat effective method.
