Without a doubt hemorrhoids are a sore subject...
in more ways than one.
Many people afflicted with hemorrhoids suffer in silence, not discussing it with their friends or even their family.
For millions of people around the world, hemorrhoids are a painful problem that won't go away.
What is the best hemorrhoids treatment? There are many effective remedies available.
Try these tips for some welcome relief: 1.
Drink water: Drink plenty of water ( 8-10 glasses) every day.
This will help by keeping the stools soft.
Additionally, natural stool softeners can be helpful when used in combination with fresh water.
2.
Try a high-fiber diet: Adding fiber to the diet works wonders.
Consuming beans, lentils, fresh fruits, and vegetables regularly will keep the stool soft and minimize straining that is caused by hard stools.
Learn to read labels for fiber content and strive for 25-35 grams a day.
3.
Petroleum jelly: Visit any pharmacy and you will be inundated by countless hemorrhoidal preparations.
A cheaper alternative is petroleum jelly.
Simply apply to the affected area to help relieve the burning and itching.
4.
Toilet training: Placing feet flat on the floor while using the toilet often causes a bend or kink in the colon which leads to straining.
This is something you do not want.
Try elevating your feet with a step stool while sitting on the toilet.
This position straightens out the colon.
Additionally, do not use hard tissues.
Use soft wipes instead as aggressive wiping can make hemorrhoids worse.
The above tips can give you temporary relief for your hemorrhoids but are in no way a cure.
Getting rid of hemorrhoids permanently requires a solid, proven plan that addresses the internal and external causes.
