If your pain is extremely bad, you may want to see your physician. Should you delay in getting hemorrhoid treatment, you run the risk of getting a worse case of hemorrhoids

In the most extreme cases, the only option for hemorrhoid treatment is to have surgery. Hemorrhoidectomy (hemorrhoid surgery) will cost a person between $1,000 U.S. to $1,200 U.S. and requires the person to spend up to 4 weeks in recovery. Choosing surgery should be a last resort as it is very painful and will have side effects that last a long time.

If you are feeling milder forms of this condition, there are other hemorrhoids treatments available.

If the hemorrhoids you have are light, you may want to use a cream. These creams are very good at bringing down the swelling and relieving the pain, however they are not the best hemorrhoid treatments because they don't actually cure hemorrhoids.

Creams usually come with many problems as a hemorrhoid treatment, such as burning sensations; this can be so painful to the person that they will have to stop using the creams. Also creams do not cure the underlying problems a person has with hemorrhoids. This means that it will only serve as a temporary hemorrhoid treatment.

If you have decided that creams are the hemorrhoid treatment you would prefer then you would find that they are found in many drug stores and pharmacies, and that are relatively inexpensive.

There is however, one type of hemorrhoid treatment that treats not only the pain but also addresses the underlying problems is the natural cures, which use different types of herbs, minerals and vitamins. These hemorrhoid treatments give you a cure that takes away the pain and improves your situation in a matter of days. A bonus you receive when you choose this option is the fact that natural cures are by far the cheapest method.

The only problem you may find when using natural treatments, is that you may not know which ones are specifically designed to treat your particular hemorrhoid condition. In which case, you should find out all the information available about curing your hemorrhoid using natural treatments.

Another tip that would provide you with some immediate relief to the hemorrhoid problem is talking a nice warm bath. The bath will sooth the pain you feel, and if you add a little salt into your bath, about a teaspoon or so, and massage the hemorrhoid this will even further help with pain relief.

When this bath is done, you may then want to take some ice (wrapped up in a cloth) and apply it to your anal area. This causes a decrease in the amount of blood that is flowing to the area; also ice will have a numbing effect giving you a little more relief from pain. You may try to repeat the icing process several times a day to get good results. - 14130
