Thrombosed Hemorrhoids

By Heather-Jane Hunter

Thrombosed hemorrhoids are amongst the most severe forms of hemorrhoids. A thrombosed hemorrhoid is a hemorrhoid in which the vein has clotted. Although thrombosed hemorrhoids are normally very painful they do not generally require surgical removal. The can occur inside the anal canal or as external hemorrhoids and they vary in size from being very small (the size of a pea) through to being as large as a golf ball in the most extreme cases.

Natural hemorrhoid cures can be great pain relievers and they can be very effective in total treatment of thrombosed hemorrhoids. Below are several tips for sufferers of thrombosed hemorrhoids:

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.

If it hurts you or if you struggle during bowel movement, softening of the stool may be exactly what you need. You can do this quite easily by eating more foods which are high in fiber such as fruit, beans, vegetables, and cereals.

Avoid dehydration. Stay hydrated by drinking a minimum of 7 glasses of water daily. This is not difficult - you should aim for 10 glasses to ensure hydration. Try drinking 2 glasses immediately when you wake up in the morning, 2 more at morning tea time and lunch time, 2 at dinner time and 2 before going to bed. Its always better to sip the water than drink it quickly.

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.

Use a hemorrhoid cream which can be bought at most pharmacys and chemists to reduce irritation. Its worth noting that creams work differently for different people and most dont provide long term solutions to hemorrhoids.

Use Ibuprofen as a pain relief.

Get regular exercise to help speed up your metabolism.

Use slightly damp toilet paper to clean yourself after bowel movement " this is softer and will cause less irritation.

A useful guide full of tips and tricks for curing thrombosed hemorrhoids naturally is H-Miracle. This guide is responsible for curing many thousands of hemorrhoid sufferers. It also offers you a range of techniques which are extremely useful for 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 " this procedure is reserved for only the most severe cases of hemorrhoids due to the long painful recovery time which is needed.

Sclerotherapy " a liquid is injected into the hemorrhoid which causes it to shrink away completely.

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. - 14130
