Disturbing Pile Facts, What to do for hemroids

By Noel Byrne

Are you one of the 40% of the adult population suffering for Hemroids. What to do for piles/hemroids? In this article I reveal the truth about why you still suffer from hemroids, the treatments you have used that didn't work and explain what will work.

Creams and ointments are a popular treatment for hemroids. These creams and ointments are rubbed to the rectal area, this soothes the blood vessels. Creating the tissues to relax so they do not bulge as much. When the tissue stops bulging the hemroid will be less lightly to be painful. This method for curing hemroids is usually temporary as the hemroids usually flare up again.

Another method used to treat hemroids is the use of suppositories. They are inserted inside the anal canal, to moisten the veins and prevent the hemroid from rupture when pressure is placed on the veins. The reports on the benefits on this treatment are mixed as this works effectively for some people and not for others.

Pills, are often used to regulate the blood pressure. Although sometime this can have side effects, the pills are used to tighten the tissue of the veins so it is less susceptible to problems. Be aware this method can cause side effects but big pharmacies do like to push this method.

Two other options for the treatment of hemroids are surgery and cryotherapy. These methods depends on individual cases and only attempted if all other options have been exhausted.

Each individual is different and what they can tolerate varies. Painful piles and hemroids can still get relief with safer options. In my experience it is better to try all safer options before attempting drastic methods.

I don't want to frighten you but 40% of the adult population, maybe more, ask the question "what to do for hemroids at some point". For some this is a recurring question as they have only found temporary solutions.

Basically hemroids are inflamed tissue around the lower rectal area. They can sometimes be internal and painless, you might not know you have them. On the other hand if you are unlucky enough to have painful hemroids, you know the pain. The fear of sitting, going to the toilet, walking, standing, this really can effect your life. - 16004
