If you are reading this article, there is a good chance that you are experiencing an extremely uncomfortable case of hemorrhoids. You need the best information to deal with this uncomfortable condition. The following tips are full of great advice for preventing and treating hemorrhoids.
Better personal hygiene can help prevent the formation of external hemorrhoids. Try using a wet wipe after every bowel movement and choose a clean soft tissue for regular wiping.
You can find relief from hemorrhoid pain in a number of places. For example, many experts recommend sitting inside a sitz bath for approximately 10 minutes a few times a day. Try using cold compresses to get some relief.
Blood Vessels
Getting plenty of Rutin helps prevent hemorrhoids. Weak blood vessels can cause hemorrhoids. You need the flavonoid Rutin to aid your body in taking in Vitamin C and strengthening your blood vessels. It is normally found in citrus foods and vegetables like broccoli and onions. The recommended amount to take daily is 500mg in supplement form.
You can use common household items to help relieve hemorrhoid symptoms. One simple remedy is an old-fashioned ice pack. Applying ice helps to alleviate the soreness and tenderness that goes along with the condition. Ice packs can reduce the swelling caused by hemorrhoids.
One risk factor for hemorrhoids is pushing too hard when defecating. Eating less processed food and drinking lots of water will make your stools softer, and thus require less straining to pass. Assuming a squatting position may make it easier to avoid straining while having a bowel movement. Place a small stool under your feet when you sit on the toilet. Hemorrhoids are less common in countries where people are used to squatting when they use the bathroom.
