A lot of people nowadays might be looking for a way to treat hemorrhoids. It is stated that at least fifty percent of Americans will experience them at sometime during their lives. Varicose veins in and around the anus can be incredibly painful to death with and, in some cases, they can be very debilitating. As a result, people need to make sure that they can be taken care of immediately. Various types of cream are usually used in this regard.

There are many different types of lotions which can be found by going into one's local pharmacist. Of course, this can be a somewhat sensitive issue and a lot of people are rather embarrassed about doing this. Usually pharmacists are going to operate with the strictest confidence, but if one really isn't keen on telling another person then one can look up the brands on the Internet.

By doing this, they'll be able to anonymously select what they need off the shelves. Again, this is going to depend on the severity of the irritation. Hemorrhoids themselves generally used by the body in order to aid the passage of stool and they only start to hurt when they become inflamed. There are also two types which most people know of.

The first type (internal) is generally what causes rectal bleeding and this can be a concern for many. Generally, hemorrhoids tend to be benign so there is nothing to worry about. With the internal hemorrhoids, there is no pain so most people don't mind this. External ones are what cause the most discomfort and therefore treatments for these are sought.

It is only when the case becomes extreme, and when all other methods known have failed, that one will be required to have surgery. It is important to leave this option for last. Occasionally some treatments are going to come in the form of a suppository. A lot of the symptoms from which people suffer will vanish after a few days, but occasionally they linger.

The increase in fiber in the patient's diet is known to be somewhat effective and therefore this should be taken up immediately. Keeping one's hydration as well is important, therefore an increasing in fluids is essential. Occasionally, taking supplements to add fiber to the body is the best course of action and this has proven to be quite effective.

Many people will opt for these options including the use of various creams. Of course, sometimes it becomes too much and one might require surgery. This is usually taken when all other methods have failed completely. There is a number of different methods which can be used when it comes to the surgical removal of hemorrhoids. These would include electrosurgery and cryosurgery.

As one can see, getting the right way to treat hemorrhoids won't be too difficult. The Internet is full of information but if one isn't completely sure then the best option is to go to one's local family doctor. Operating under the strictest confidence, they will be sure not to tell anybody else as this can be very embarrassing for some people.
