Medical Hemorrhoid Treatment Options

Hemorrhoids are very painful, and though they are small, they can really disturb your daily life. You cannot even do simple things like sit and walk properly, much less go out and have some fun. The bad news is that anyone can get hemorrhoids. Basically, they are veins found in the anus and the lower rectum that has become inflamed, and they can be either internal or external. It is approximated that as many as 75% of all people will get a hemorrhoid at least once in their lives, simply because they are caused by chronic constipation and/or diarrhea, a total lack of fiber in ones diet, and even too much strain during ones bowel movements. The good news is that there are many different kinds of hemorrhoid treatment solutions that you can make use of, both chemical and natural.
A lot of people opt to go for medical hemorrhoid treatment simply because there are times where natural treatments are not successful in treating the symptoms. There are three kinds of medical treatments, and these treatments are rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and infrared coagulation. Rubber band ligation is when a doctor will use a rubber band to cut off the circulation of blood to the inflamed vein, and then the lack of blood flow will then make the vein shrink and disappear. Sclerotherapy is when a chemical solution is injected into the hemorrhoid to in order to make it shrink. And lastly, infrared coagulation is the use of infrared heat in order to make the hemorrhoid tissue stop swelling and shrink down. No matter what kind of hemorrhoid treatment you choose, each must be carried out only by a medical professional.
Of course, if the hemorrhoids still persist, there are still surgical options available to you, wherein the hemorrhoid itself will be removed via various kinds of available methods of removal.
But in the end, the best hemorrhoid treatment is still prevention. Hemorrhoids are not lethal, but they can be extremely uncomfortable, and they can make your life miserable once you have them. In order to ensure that you never get them, make sure that your bowel movements are natural and not forced, because something as simple as forcing bowel movements can make your anal or rectum vein pop and become inflamed. It would also be helpful to include a lot of fiber into your diet, as fiber is highly effective in preventing constipation, which is one of the leading causes of hemorrhoids. Including 25-38 grams of fiber in your diet per day is enough to make sure that your bowel movement will always be healthy and natural.
