Methods for treating hemorrhoids at home.

Hemorrhoids can be recognized by several symptoms, which can be present both collectively and separately.

Signs of hemorrhoids:

With hemorrhoids of a small size and their external location, a small amount of blood (droplets) may appear and then itching occurs in the anal area. This happens because during defecation with solid feces, the nodule is injured, and then a healing process occurs, which causes itching. Itching can also be caused by chronic irritation of the nodules.

With small hemorrhoids located inside the rectum (invisible), a slight painful sensation may occur at the time of defecation, and later - itching, which can be taken as a symptom of other diseases.

Hemorrhoids are large and located externally, visible to the naked eye (or palpable). Hemorrhoids located inside the rectum (usually at the site of the venous plexus) are not visible or palpable. But, with trauma of both, more blood will be released, and it will become noticeable on the surface of the feces. Accordingly, the healing process will take longer, accompanied by itching, pulling or twitching pains in the anus. With chronic injury to the nodes (for example, during constipation), constant pain develops, which intensifies in a sitting or standing position. The person tries to take a horizontal position in which the intensity of pain decreases.

If you follow a diet, fight constipation and proper treatment, the sites of injuries heal, and the signs of hemorrhoids disappear for a long time.

Methods for treating hemorrhoids depend on the neglect of the disease and the severity of the process. But with hemorrhoids that are mild, with a small accumulation and proliferation of hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids can be treated at home.

To reduce the pain syndrome or for its almost complete disappearance, rectal suppositories with an anesthetic are used (Anestezol and others). It is advisable to introduce such suppositories not only during the day, but also before the act of defecation, which will allow you to painlessly perform this procedure. Often, it is the painful sensations that are difficult to bear that force a person to restrain the urge to defecate, which aggravates the situation and leads to compaction of feces, and this, in turn, will cause another injury to the nodes. Anesthetic suppositories can also be used to relieve itching during tissue healing.

To accelerate the regeneration processes, candles with anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects are used (Anuzol, Relief, Proctosan). Unlike suppositories with anesthetic, suppositories with anti-inflammatory drugs are injected not for pain symptoms, but regularly (as written in the instructions or as prescribed by the doctor, there are contraindications to all suppositories, suppositories may have side effects). Sea buckthorn and St. John's wort oils have a good healing effect.

For resorption of nodules, the places of their location are lubricated with ointments with an anticoagulant and resorbing effect (Heparin, Troxevasin, suppositories Hepatrombin G).

After each act of defecation, it is necessary to do warm baths (not hot!) With herbal antiseptics and herbal anti-inflammatory agents (St. John's wort, chamomile, trifid bur-marigold, etc.) Baths can be done often, they distract from pain and have an additional wound healing effect.

The diet during the treatment of exacerbations of hemorrhoids should consist of products in which mucous and starchy substances, oily components predominate. The best solution would be to switch to soups, mashed potatoes, boiled porridge, vegetable purees (potato, beetroot, carrot, pea, bean), boiled vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, green peas). You can cook jelly. It is necessary for the duration of treatment to exclude coarse fiber foods (black, bran, grain bread; fresh vegetables; fresh fruits) from consumption, as well as smoked meat, bacon and sausages. The fruit can be boiled (blanched), but it is better to remove the skin (or stroma). It is better to refrain from fruits and berries with small bones during treatment, because the bones, when passing through the rectum as part of feces, will injure nodules and cracks, and, therefore, interfere with healing.

If hemorrhoids are combined with constipation, for the treatment of which laxatives are needed, then the choice of laxatives should be stopped on those medicines that have a mild laxative effect, and do not cause sharp intestinal motility.

In complex cases of hemorrhoids, when conservative treatment is not successful, surgical treatment of hemorrhoids is indicated .
