Some can happen on the outer edge, called external hemorrhoids, while internal hemorrhoids occur a few centimeters inside the rectum. Symptoms include itchiness, redness, and soreness of the area, along with painful defecation and bloody stool, to name a few.

While it is best to consult a doctor for a permanent cure for your hemorrhoids, there are quick ways to ease any itching and pain and to keep any discomfort from worsening. More often, the best treatments for your hemorrhoids are things you can find or do at home. Here are six home remedies that can make your hemorrhoids more tolerable. 1. Take warm baths. Fill in a bathtub with few inches of warm water and soak in it for around 15 minutes at a time. You can do this two or three times each day and after every bowel activity. Should you decide to wash the area, you may do so using a hypoallergenic soap. Avoid scrubbing so you won̢۪t irritate the area. You can also try special sitz baths you can apply directly in your toilet seat for more comfortable soaking. 2. Use Aloe vera.

Also, Aloe vera has proven to be very safe for topical application. There are available gels in the market that contain Aloe vera has an active ingredient. However, you should only use raw aloe vera gel that can be harvested straight from aloe vera leaves. 3. Try witch hazel. Witch hazel is believed to minimize pain, reduce itching and bleeding up to the time hemorrhoids clear out. It contains oils and tannins that can help lessen inflammation. Witch hazel can be bought in liquid form and put directly to your hemorrhoids. Products like anti-itch soaps and wipes also contain this ingredient. 4. Do cold compresses. You can do cold compresses for 15 minutes at a time to the anus to alleviate the swelling. This can be an absolutely effective remedy, especially for large and painful hemorrhoids. However, never apply ice directly to your skin. Make sure to wrap it inside a paper towel or cloth. 5. Wear loose cotton clothing. Refrain from using tight clothes. Instead, wear one made with polyester or ultra-breathable cotton, especially for your underwear. These garments can ensure that the anal area is clean and dry, thus, preventing any symptoms. Also, see to it to avoid strong detergents and fabric softeners that can trigger irritation. 6. Drink natural supplements for hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoidsare swollen veins in the lowest part of your rectum and anus. Sometimes the walls of these blood vessels stretch so thin that the veins bulge and get irritated, especially when you poop. Swollen veins (hemorrhoids) can develop from increased pressure in the lower rectum due to: Straining during bowel movements Sitting for long periods of time on the toilet Chronic diarrhea or constipation Obesity Pregnancy Low-fiber diet Diagnosis Your doctor may be able to see if you have external hemorrhoids simply by looking. Tests and procedures to diagnose internal hemorrhoids may include examination of your anal canal and rectum: Digital examination.During a digital rectal exam, your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum. He or she feels for anything unusual, such as growths. The exam can suggest to your doctor whether further testing is needed. Visual inspection.Because internal hemorrhoids are often too soft to be felt during a rectal exam, your doctor may also examine the lower portion of your colon and rectum with an anoscope, proctoscope or sigmoidoscope. Your doctor may want to examine your entire colon using colonoscopy if: Your signs and symptoms suggest you might have another digestive system disease You have risk factors for colorectal cancer You're middle-aged and haven't had a recent colonoscopy Treating Hemorrhoids Apply an over-the-counterhemorrhoidcreamor suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent and aloe vera. Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day. A sitz bath fits over the toilet. Using toilet paper after a bowel movement can aggravate existing hemorrhoids. Wipes can help keep you clean without causing further irritation. For an added boost, you can find wipes with soothing, anti-hemorrhoid ingredients, like witch hazel or aloe vera. Make sure that the wipes you choose don̢۪t have alcohol, perfume, or other irritants in them. These substances could aggravate symptoms instead of relieving them. Apply ice packs or cold compresses to the anus to relieve swelling for 15 minutes at a time. For large, painful hemorrhoids, this can be an extremely effective treatment. Always wrap ice inside a cloth or paper towel, and never apply something frozen directly to the skin. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, stool softeners or fiber supplements, like psyllium, can help reduce constipation, make stool softer, and make it easier to have quick, painless bowel movements. Many of these stool softeners come in forms like powders, capsules, and liquids that you take by mouth between once and three times a day. Preventing hemorrhoids Lifestyle and dietary changes are the best way to prevent hemorrhoids. Staying physically active and eating healthy help to keep your bowel movements regular. Eat lots of high-fiber foods (especially from plants) and drink plenty of water to keep the digestive process moving correctly and prevent constipation. Regular exercise and avoiding sitting for long periods of time can also help prevent hemorrhoids. The most effective way to avoid constipation is to go to the bathroom when you first feel the urge. Delaying a bowel movement allows the bowel to reabsorb water from the stool. This makes stool harder when you finally do go. ...read more
