Exposed: Hemorrhoid Cures

By Heather-Jane Hunter

As an ex sufferer of hemorrhoids I once found myself in a situation where I felt that everything I tried failed. Nothing worked for me for a long time and I was left feeling demoralized and doomed. I was at a point where I was willing to do anything to get rid of my hemorrhoids once and for all.

When I remember back to how painful and irritating hemorrhoids were, I realize what a struggle I went through and how much I learned. In the following text I hope to share with you some of the many things I learned as well as what eventually worked for me and what didnt.

One of the main problems I found with a few major hemorrhoid cures solutions was that they came with nasty side effects. One example of this is when using creams to cure hemorrhoids. My personal experience with creams was not great " thats not to say that there are good hemorrhoid creams available " but just that the creams I tried didnt live up to their promises. Most hemorrhoid creams work by reducing swelling of the hemorrhoid. One of the major benefits of reducing the swelling is to reduce pain and discomfort. This worked well for me but it came at a cost of increased irritation and burning. After a few days using the cream I was forced to stop because the burning became more painful than what I was suffering before I started using the cream. If you are going to use a cream " I recommend you look at it as a temporary solution and make sure you get a good list of testimonials. Creams can also be used well in conjunction with other curing techniques.

Surgery (for hemorrhoid removal) is generally only used once all other options have been exhausted. The main reasons why hemorrhoid surgery is not as popular as it used to be are that it can be very expensive (US$1200 upwards) and that it can be very painful. Fortunately I managed to cure my hemorrhoids without using surgery. Many of my friends have had hemorrhoid surgery however and I have seen first hand how difficult and time consuming the recovery period can be. Some people I know have been almost unable to move for over 5 weeks after having hemorrhoidectomies. Many doctors agree that hemorrhoid surgery should be a last resort this is one of the main reasons. If you have tried everything and hemorrhoid surgery is your only option left, ensure you prepare yourself for a long painful recovery time.

The way I finally cured my hemorrhoids (after struggling for 18 months) was through using natural hemorrhoid remedies. The natural remedies worked so well for me because they work on fighting the cause of hemorrhoids instead of healing the effects of hemorrhoids. Natural hemorrhoid remedies can work very quickly to cure hemorrhoids with some people noticing results in as little as 4-5 days. Natural hemorrhoid cures are by far the cheapest option and can be done from you own home.
