Discover The Best Hemorrhoid Treatment Approaches That Work!

By Alan Faulkner


Hemorrhoids are varicose veins and swollen tissues in the rectum and anus. They may cause itching, burning and can bleed. Hemorrhoids can be treated easily and in some cases, prevented altogether. Hemorrhoids get worse over the years, so at the first sign of a problem, you should seek medical advice.

Photocoagulation for hemorrhoids uses high-intensity infrared light to remove hemorrhoids and it is also called infrared coagulation. The patient lies on his side with knees drawn towards the chest and the doctor inserts a proctoscope in the anal canal. The hemorrhoid is grasped and an intense beam of infrared light is directed to its base. The light forms scar tissue that forms a clot. This clot blocks blood flow and suffocates the hemorrhoid until it dies and falls out. The scar tissues also hold together the affected veins and prevent them from bulging out of the anus.

Although these hemorrhoids are covered with skin, they still appear blue, because they are veins, filled with blood. They don't usually have symptoms, unless they are inflamed. Then they can swell, and appear red.

However, this option is painful and costly. It is expensive but it is a bit cheaper compared to surgery. The actual process is painful and you might experience discomfort after, especially when it comes to urinating and defecating. You may also experience bleeding from the anus after undergoing this treatment. Infrared coagulation is effective but bear in mind that piles may develop again. It is also important to note that this treatment is recommended for small piles and only one hemorrhoid is treated at a time. An interval of 10-14 days in between procedures is advised.

If you are considering this treatment option, ask your doctor about it first. Depending on your case, there may be other options that you should consider before opting to undergo this procedure. The doctor's expertise in performing this is also important and success of the whole process depends mainly on this. Serious infection may occur from the procedure so take the time to look for a qualified doctor with proper equipment.

Aspirin intake is also discouraged 5 days before and after infrared coagulation. Bleeding occurs up to 10 days after the procedure and you will need to take some time off work for this. Your stool should be softened to avoid further discomfort. To do this, increase your fiber intake or use other stool softeners. To relieve pain, taking sitz baths can help. Your doctor may also prescribe you with pain relievers if necessary.

In conclusion, you can use water to combat hemorrhoids as well! Drinking less water too can lead to constipation and other digestive problems. Always use towelettes and toilet paper that is free from alcohol as they can further infect hemorrhoids. Keep in mind that you should not wait for the hemorrhoids to get worse. There are plenty of other home based and Natural hemorrhoids treatments available that should be followed immediately to get relief. Delaying the treatment can only cause the condition to worsen.
