Perhaps the most painful type of hemorrhoid is a thrombosed hemorrhoid. A thrombosed hemorrhoid is a hemorrhoid which has clotted inside the rectum (or externally in some cases). Most thrombosed hemorrhoids can cured without the need for surgery. Thrombosed hemorrhoids range in size from being very small through to being larger than a golf ball.
Natural remedies can make a big difference to sufferers of thrombosed hemorrhoids; in fact, when natural cures are used correctly they can fully cure thrombosed hemorrhoids. Below we have listed some useful tips to relieve hemorrhoid pain:
Use warm baths to ease the pain and reduce the swelling of hemorrhoids. At least 2 bathes per day in warm water are recommended. If you can sit down thats great ” if this causes you too much pain however; squatting is fine.
One of the most painful things for hemorrhoid sufferers is to pass a stool. You can make this a lot easier by making the stool softer which can be done by increasing your daily fiber intake. That means eating more fruits, cereals, and vegetables.
Stay hydrated by drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. This may sound like a lot but if you make a conscious effort to do it you will soon realize that is not a lot at all. Try to avoid ever feeling thirsty ” this is your bodys way of telling you that it is becoming dehydrated.
Get fast pain relief by applying ice to the hemorrhoid (or to the anus for internal hemorrhoids). Ice does two main things, firstly it reduces the size of the hemorrhoid and it also numbs the area ” both result in significant pain relief.
Try a hemorrhoid cream or gel. These aim to reduce swelling and irritation ” they seem to work with varying results however so choose one carefully if you decide you want to try one.
While its not recommended as an ongoing solution for hemorrhoid pain relief, Ibuprofen is very effective for short term pain relief.
Try to do at least 20 minutes of light exercise per day ” this will help to speed up your rate of metabolism and promote regular bowel movement.
Use slightly damp toilet paper to clean yourself after bowel movement ” this is softer and will cause less irritation.
A fast and easy way to cure thrombosed hemorrhoids is using a natural system such as the one created by Holly Hayden called H-Miracle. H-Miracle has cured many thousands of cases of hemorrhoids and also provides fantastic information about ways to get quick pain relief.
If you decide to go with surgery (we strongly recommend you try every other possible option first) there are numerous options available to you, some of them include:
Rubber-band Ligation ” this technique is performed by placing a rubber-band around the hemorrhoid which causes it to dry up and finally disappear.
Hemorrhoidectomy ” generally a last resort for hemorrhoid removal, this painful surgery fully removes the thrombosed hemorrhoid but you may require several weeks or more to recover fully.
Sclerotherapy ” the hemorrhoid dries up and shrinks away after a liquid is injected into it.
Thrombosed hemorrhoids can almost always be cured using natural methods ” we dont recommend surgery unless you have pursued every other avenue available simply because in most cases it is not necessary.
