Whats the best treatment for piles, or hemorroids?

Whats the best medicine to treat piles?

Anusol or Preparation H work well but the key is to get fibre in your diet to stop the constipation that aggrevates the haemorrhoids.

  9. First of all go and see the doctor and get the to check it is piles. I had an Anal Fissure but was under the impression it was piles - only the doctor could tell me what it actually was.

    Anusol is a good treatment for the symptoms.
    Long warm baths really help.

    However you might want to find out if your condition is being made worse by something you are eating or drinking. When I cut down on coffee my problem improved quite a lot.

    Hope this helps....

  11. Anusol, don't strain during bowel functions, eat 3 - 4 serves of stonefruit daily and a high fibre diet, tissues impregnated with aloe vera & use an inflatable ring (from pharmacies[drugstores]). See a doctor, just in case it's something else! SOON!!!

  12. For many people, hemorrhoids are mild and temporary conditions that heal spontaneously or by the same measures recommended for prevention. There is no medicine that will cure hemorrhoids, but local treatments such as warm sitz baths, using a bidet, extendable showerhead, cold compress, or topical analgesic (such as Nupercainal), can provide temporary relief. Consistent use of medicated creams (such as Anusol and Preparation H) during the early stages of a hemorrhoid flare-up will also provide relief and may stave off further development and irritation. Keep the area clean and dry, with some lubrication provided by hemorrhoidal creams. Suppositories can also relieve the symptoms.

    Natural treatments
    Some people successfully apply natural procedures for treatment or reversal of chronic conditions. These procedures largely echo the prevention measures. They include:

    Reducing regional pressure in such ways as improving posture and muscle tone
    Taking herbs and dietary supplements that strengthen vein walls, such as butcher's broom, horse chestnut, bromelain, and Japanese pagoda tree extracts. Drinking 99% pure aloe juice can also relieve itching and swelling.
    Topical application of natural astringents and soothing agents, such as Witch hazel (astringent), cranesbill and aloe vera
    Eating fiber-rich bulking agents such as plantain and Psyllium seed husks to help create soft stool that is easy to pass to lessen the irritation of existing hemorrhoids.
    Using the squatting position for bowel movements.[4]
    Oral dietary supplementation can help to treat and prevent many complications of hemorrhoids, and natural botanicals such as Butchers Broom, Horse Chestnut, and bioflavonoids can be an effective addition to hemorrhoid treatment.[5]

    Butcher's Broom: Butcher’s broom extract, or Ruscus aculeatus, contains ruscogenins that have anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor effects. Supplementation with Butcher’s Broom helps tighten and strengthen veins. Butcher’s broom has traditionally been used to treat venous problems including hemorrhoids and varicose veins.[6][7][8]

    Horse Chestnut: Horse chestnut extract, or Aesculus hippocastanum, contains a saponin known as aescin, that has anti-inflammatory, anti-edema, and venotonic actions. Aescin improves tone in vein walls, thereby strengthening the support structure of the vein. Double blind studies have shown that supplementation with horse chestnut helps relieve the pain and swelling associated with chronic venous insufficiency.[9][10]

    Bilberry Bioflavonoid: Bilberry extract, or Vaccinium myrtillus, is an anthocyanoside bioflavonoid. Supplementation with this potent flavonoid protects and maintains venous strength and function.[6][11]

    As reported in Doctor Yourself, by Andrew Saul, PhD (Basic Health/publisher), treatment with topical Vitamin E (twice daily, open up Vitamin E capsule and squeeze Vitamin E out and apply to the site) has also been successful for some individuals.

    External / topical application for external hemorrhoids of St. John's Wort Oil can often completely disappear hemorrhoids. This treatment can be found in many herbal books, by many authors, including David Hoffman, and it's mentioned on the University of Maryland Medical Center's website, and many others. For external use only.

    Medical treatments
    Some people require the following medical treatments for chronic or severe hemorrhoids:

    Rubber band ligation: elastic bands are applied onto an internal hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. Within several days, the withered hemorrhoid is sloughed off during normal bowel movement.
    Hemorrhoidolysis/Galvanic Electrotherapy: desiccation of the hemorrhoid by electrical current.
    Sclerotherapy (injection therapy): sclerosant or hardening agent is injected into hemorrhoids. This causes the vein walls to collapse and the hemorrhoids to shrivel up.
    Cryosurgery: a frozen tip of a cryoprobe is used to destroy hemorrhoidal tissues. Rarely used anymore because of side effects
    Laser, infrared or BICAP coagulation: laser, infrared beam, or electricity is used to cauterize the affected tissues. Lasers are now much less popular.
    Hemorrhoidectomy: a true surgical procedure to excise and remove hemorrhoids.
    Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy: Also called the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids, it is designed to resect soft tissue proximal to the dentate line, which disrupts the blood flow to the hemorrhoids. It is generally less painful than complete removal of hemorrhoids and also allows for faster recovery times. It's meant for hemorrhoids that fall out or bleed and is not helpful for painful outside conditions.
    Enema: This Practice is only used to clean the rectum in some cases and should only be done by a doctor. Water is injected into the rectum and then flushed out cleaning the area.
    Doppler Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation : The only evidence based surgery for all grades of hemorrhoids. It does not involve cutting tissues or even a stay at the hospital; patients are usually back to work on the same day. Best treatment for bleeding piles, as the bleeding stops immediately.[12]

  13. A good diet with lots of fiber keeps the colon cleaner which helps to relieve pressure from excess buildup. Plenty of fluids, too, for it takes fluids to move waste through the colon. Apple juice has a natural ingredient which softens waste; moves it along without a lot of laxatives, etc. Hemorrhoids are a weak area in the blood vessel wall [similar to a weak area in an innertube]. When blood pools in weak area it'll bulge - like air bubble bulges out in a weak spot of an innertube. Heavy lifting can push internal hemorrhoids through the anal sphincter - creating what some call piles. Once through the sphincter [when it tries to close back up] those can't get back inside [less painful inside]. Blood still reaches them and they engorge, more painful as they fill with more blood. [Anal sphincter acts like a rubber band on extra tight.]

    Some meds slow peristalsis [a wave-like digestion process] and opioids [mega pain meds] are noted for it. If on heavy pain meds a stool softener may be needed to keep waste moving. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if meds you're on may slow digestion.

    Prep. H. contains Shark Liver Oil for its healing effects. A brand is less important than how/if it works. Shark Liver Oil helps, in my opinion. Piles are external hemorrhoids and old fashioned witch hazel can offer more relief than brand-name products. Use a few squares of toilet tissue - pour a small amt. of witch hazel to apply directly to swollen area - flush the tissue. Relieves pain, itching - reapply as needed. Use Prep. H. at bedtime when you're off your feet - gives time to work - suppositories or creme at night.

    Nicotine can relax the anal sphincter. Tobacco users may have more problems with hemorrhoids [piles] since anal sphincter can be relaxed enough for these to protrude.

    Most important [best medicine] is a high fiber diet with ample fluids [coffee dehydrates - drink more water, juice, gator-aide, etc], appropriate exercise and good rest-breaks.

    Use Xango juice!
    This is the juice made from a fruit grown only in the Far East and has been used for centuries in healing gastroin-testinal medicine.
    It reduces inflammation in the intestine,which inflammation causes the loss of essential nutients and body fluids into the stool.Scientific evidence from university laboratories appears to support the reported benefits with gastoin-testinal problems experienced by mangosteen users.
