How To Cure Your Hemorrhoids Naturally

Hemorrhoids can be understood as a condition in which the blood vessels around the anus dilate or expand due to increased pressure. The presence of hemorrhoids does not always cause discomfort and itching in the anus, but when symptoms appear, sufferers can also experience bleeding through the anus.

Reporting from Kompas.com which includes an interview with Surgical Specialist from Oen Kandang Sapi Hospital Solo, dr. Joni Then, Sp.B, hemorrhoids can cause other symptoms such as mucus found after defecation and a lump hanging outside the anus.

How Severe Your Hemorrhoids Now?

Based on the severity, hemorrhoids can be classified into four categories. Each category of hemorrhoids has different symptoms and severity.

• Grade I hemorrhoids have symptoms of inflammation or swelling that are small in the anal wall and are not visible outside the anus. Hemorrhoids sufferers sometimes also find fresh blood during bowel movements.
• Grade II hemorrhoids have symptoms of swelling greater than degree I and the lumps come out of the anus during bowel movements. The lump will come back by itself after defecation.
• Grade III are marked by the presence of one or several small lumps that hang in the anus, but can be pushed back into the anus with fingers slowly
• Grade IV hemorrhoids have symptoms where large lumps are found hanging from the anus and cannot be pushed back. These lumps will harden, and cause pain that results in discomfort that irritation.

Doctor Joni said, all categories of hemorrhoids can be treated. Either conventionally, which requires excessive time or surgical procedures that provide instant results.

Reese (2009) states that the true cause of symptomatic hemorrhoids is not clearly known. A number of factors are believed to play a role, including: irregular bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea), lack of exercise, nutritional factors (low fiber diet), increased intra-abdominal pressure (prolonged bloating, ascitis, presence of an intra-abdominal mass, or pregnancy), genetic, absence of valves in the hemorrhoidal vessels, and old age (Lorenzo and Rivero, 2009). Other factors thought to increase the risk include pregnancy, obesity and prolonged sitting (Schubert et al., 2009).

Fiber Intake : Key To Reduce Hemorrhoids Trigger

Lorenzo and Rivero (2009) recommend treatment for hemorrhoids can be in the form of a high-fiber diet, water intake to keep the body away from getting dehydrated or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Because based on his research, high fiber intake gives good results and can be achieved by changing your diet or consuming fiber supplements.

Fiber makes less pressure of duodenums so that the risk of inflammation in the anus is reduced. In addition to recommending a high-fiber diet, Lorenzo and Rivero (2009) recommend to reduce the use of topical drugs and suppositories to treat hemorrhoids, because it can cause thinning of the skin if used for more than 14 days.

Learning from the experts above, the best treatment for hemorrhoids is to prevent it from happening. High fiber consumption is highly recommended. You are also recommended to have at least 1,5 litres of water per day to keep your body hydrated and enhancing your metabolism. Water also helps to boost the cleansing process in your digestion, working in synergy with fiber. Lack of water could trigger constipation which might lead into hemorrhoid.

If you feel you don’t have time to consume and process vegetables or fruits, you always have an alternative to consume the extract. Choose vegetables and fruits that are organic, so that your health is protected from the dangers of chemicals as well.
