Learning More About Hemorrhoid and Pregnancy

It's like this... let's say your external hemorrhoid has now shrunk while using whatever solution you're used to ... you can take the exact same solution and place it in a dropper. Droppers can be bought very cheaply at any pharmacy and are used for anything from cleaning a baby's ear to rectal soothing in our case.

Now, gently insert the dropper and place some of your topical solution on the internal hemorrhoid as well.

It's that simple!

The one thing you want to make sure of is... to solve the outside one first before shrinking the inside one... this way you are gentle as possible in the entire process. The reason is because if you aggravate the external hemorrhoid before it's healed, you will only create a worse situation for the external one.

The 2nd element that may be combined here is to change your diet so it is ideal for hemorrhoids to not occur. This includes fibers and plenty of fluids on a very rudimentary level.

Another thing is to watch out for most conventional solutions that simply fail to deliver a root cure for the problem of rectal vessel stretching. That's why even some doctor recommendations may not always work well for some of us.

Over half the adult population in the western world will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point in their lives. Considering that with the exception of some primitive cultures, hemorrhoids has been called the "curse of mankind".

If you've ever felt a lump within your anus after a series of tearing bowel movement, then most likely you have hemorrhoids. If there is bleeding, it's because you have ruptured the rectal wall when exerting pressure on this area. The culprit can be anything from hard stool or in women, it can sometimes result from a pregnancy.

If there is any bleeding that shows dark, maroon blood, then you should be wary and it is important to check with a doctor or medical professional to ensure it's not a serious issue such as Crohn's disease, cancer, or some infection within the colon.

The first thing your doctor will likely recommend to you, assuming it's hemorrhoids, will be fiber tablets or metamecil. These can be helpful at softening the stool over time. however depending on how your body reacts, it can also have the reverse effect. This is just like Allergy medication, as it can have averse side effects with your immune system.

One thing to watch out for is to also not strain too hard when using the restroom as this places added pressure on your bowel movement. This can be especially bad when you are suffering from hemorrhoids.

If a stool softener does not work, you can request your doctor to give you something stronger that directly relieves the hemorrhoid. Many popular brands are a hit or miss unfortunately. Even worse, they potentially create a recurrent problem for the hemorrhoid. The solution is to try to cure it at the root.
