Hemorrhoids Cure

Patients complaining of hemorrhoidal symptoms should be referred if they mention prolapse or bleeding and are under the age of 12 years, or if the problem persists for more than seven days. Due to the chronic nature of hemorrhoids, the seven-day rule regarding self-therapy means that many patients will require physician referral.

The treatment of hemorrhoids varies depending on where they are (inside or outside of the rectum), the problems they are causing, and how serious they are. For many people, hemorrhoids are temporary conditions that are healed either medication or by the same measures recommended for prevention. In such cases, warm sitz bath, cold compress, or topical analgesic is sufficient to provide temporary relief to the patient. Some also find relief from a warm bath with epsom salts added in the water. When painful hemorrhoids do not respond to home-based remedies, professional medical treatment is necessary. The choice of treatment depends on the type of hemorrhoid, what medical equipment is available, and some other factors that need to be considered. Bleeding hemorrhoids can be treated with an injection of a substance that causes the hemorrhoids to become obliterated with scar tissue. This procedure is called injection sclerotherapy.

Large internal hemorrhoids and those that do not respond to injection sclerotherapy can be tied off with rubber bands. The band when tied causes the hemorrhoid to dry up and drop off painlessly. The treatment is usually applied to one hemorrhoid at a time and at intervals of two weeks or more. Internal hemorrhoids may also be destroyed with a laser rays, an infrared light or an electrical current. Rubber band ligation is probably the most widely used of the many treatments for internal hemorrhoids. It is also the least costly and painful method for the patient. This procedure is performed in the office of a family doctor or specialist, or in a hospital at an outpatient department.

An applicator is used to place one or two small rubber bands around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. After the hemorrhoid is tied for a week to ten days in the bands, the hemorrhoid falls off, leaving a sore that heals in a week or two. Because internal hemorrhoids are located in a part of the anus that does not sense pain, anesthetic is unnecessary and the procedure is painless in most cases. Although there can be minor discomfort and bleeding for a few days after the bands are applied, complications are rare and most people are soon able to return to work and perform other activities without pain. If more than one hemorrhoid exists or if banding is not entirely effective the first time, the procedure may need to be repeated a few weeks later. After five years, 15-20% of patients experience a recurrence of internal hemorrhoids, but in most cases all that is needed is another banding.

External hemorrhoids and some cases of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids are removed by conventional surgery at a hospital. Depending on the circumstances and growth in size, this would require the expertise and guidance of a local, regional or general anesthetic. Surgery does cause a fair amount of discomfort, but an overnight hospital stay is usually not necessary. Full healing takes two to four weeks, but most people are able to resume normal activities at the end of a week after the surgery. Hemorrhoids rarely return after surgery.
