Hemorroid Treatments

There are other hemorroid treatments than a surgery, especially when look for a less invasive hemorroid cure. Many of the safest and most soothing topical hemorroid treatments now available are natural remedies.

One hemorroid treatment is about applying a soothing comfrey salve to the affected area. To make the comfrey salve, combine comfrey and other herbs know for their anti-inflammatory properties, including St. John's Wort and Calendula. Mix in enough witch hazel so you end up with a smoothly consistent salve. Store this salve in the refrigerator. This will make your soothing comfrey salve last longer, and the cool sensation will provide ample, if only temporary, relief during the process of applying it the salve to the affected rectal area.

To make this hemorroid treatment effective, apply the salve every night, making sure to use a generous dose of the mixture. Follow an application cycle of five days, and then go two days without applying the salve. If irritation continues or worsens, consult your primary care physician. Although this salve is generally considered safe, as always, everyone has different sensibilities and sensitivities. If you detect any increase in irritation, discontinue use immediately.

If you prefer to have your hemorroid ointments mixed for you, visit your physician for an examination. If your doctor chooses to prescribe a topical ointment as hemorroid treatment for your case, there's a good chance they might give you hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone is used to treat many of the most painful physical symptoms of hemorroidhs. These may include swelling, itching, and overall inflammation of the sensitive skin surrounding the anus.

One of the cons of using hydrocortisone involves the possible side effects of using this very potent ointment. Hydrocortisone as hemorroid treatment has been known to cause side effects such as stinging, increased itching, sensations of burning, and increased redness. Many times, these side effects have to do with the body's adjustment to the medication. It often takes time for your body to get used to the potency of hydrocortisone ointments. Most of the times, these undesirable side effects will go away after a few days of continued use.

Because of its potency, hydrocortisone must be applied in very small doses. More is assuredly not better in this case. To apply, make certain that the rectal area is clean and dry. Gently work in a small amount of hydrocortisone ointment into the affected area.
