Hemorrhoids… what is it? Well, in absolutely layman language it is known as “Piles” - a disease about which people are reluctant to talk, give advice or suggest cures, like it is done for any other disease, as it is quite embarrassing. Thus people posses very limited or no knowledge about how to prevent or cure this disease.
But only the sufferer realizes the intensity of the pain.
Let us now know what is actually Hemorrhoids or Piles:
When a vein in the anus or lower rectum bulges out beyond its normal location, the swollen pouch of this blood is known as hemorrhoid or commonly called as Pile.
Basically there are 2 types of Hemorrhoids – Internal and External.
Like the name indicates
1) Internal Hemorrhoids: is when the swollen pouch of blood remains inside the rectum. It is inside the rectum about 1 inch above the anus. They are painless, cannot be felt or seen. But they often bleed a dark rust colored blood when they are swollen.
2) External Hemorrhoids: Is when the swollen inflamed veins protrude out of the anus. These are tender, itchy, hard bumps that are painful and accompanied by bright red blood.
Before we move on to finding the Preventive and Curative measures for Hemorrhoids, let us first know how to identify if one has Hemorrhoids – Symptoms:
To start with, you will experience incomplete bowel movements.
Pain after bowel movement.
After a bowel movement there is bright red blood on the stool or in the toilet bowl.
Rectal itching, anal itching and discharge of mucous.
Soft lump felt at the anal opening.
Painful, hard bump on the edge just outside the anus (External hemorrhoids).
Skin protruding outside anal sphincter is moist, swollen and painful.
Cure Hemorrhoids @ Home – Simple and Effective
As always said, “Prevention is better than Cure”, here are some simple but very effective tips, to keep hemorrhoids away:
Preventive Measures:
Your daily meal should have Fibre content.
Drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily.
Respond to the urge to defecate and stay relaxed to avoid straining. Increase your amount of daily physical activity.
Lose weight by exercising daily which improves blood circulation, prevents development of hemorrhoids and Constipation, and helps in shrinking existing hemorrhoids.
Exercise the buttocks muscles.
Practice good personal hygiene. Keep the anal area clean and avoid using rough toilet paper.
Squatting is the best way to prevent Hemorrhoids.
Curative Measures:
Clearing of bowel should be done by Squatting.
Apply ice several times a day follow this by placing a warm compress on the anal area for another 10 to 20 minutes. Apply moist heat (such as warm, damp towels) several times a day.
Blot the anus gently with white toilet paper moistened with water or a cleansing agent (such as Balneol) after bowel movements. Baby wipes or other pre-moistened towels (such as Tucks) are also useful for this purpose.
Use soaps that contain no perfumes or dyes, keep you anal region absolutely clean and dry.
Sleeping on your stomach with a pillow under your hips this will help decrease swelling of hemorrhoids.
Do not sit or stand for a long time when hemorrhoids are irritated. If you must sit for a long time, sit on a pillow.
Wear cotton underwear to prevent moisture buildup, it irritates the hemorrhoids. Wear loose clothing to allow freedom of movement and to reduce pressure on the anal area.
French fries are surely yummy with salt coating, but you need to reduce intake of Salts. It makes Hemorrhoids worse.
Most hemorrhoids are self curative i.e. they heal on their own in a week or two. However, Hemorrhoids have a tendency to return unless something is done to prevent them. So follow the above steps to live and have a “Damn Good Health”.

Hemorrhoid Cure
Hemorrhoid or commonly called Piles is a swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. They are cause by a lot of factors like straining to move stool, aging, constipation, pregnancy. There are of two types internal and external. In short this a problem which can make you really uncomfortable and it can also be very painful. The symptoms include blood in the stool, on your toilet tissue paper, swelling around the anus. Proper diagnosis by a doctor is essential in case of hemorrhoid.
Now that we know about hemorrhoid lets talk about curing this problem.
High Fibre Diet
One of the most important measures in treatment of
hemorrhoids is a high fiber diet. Fiber retains water, making it easier for stools to pass and minimizing straining. Whole fruits
Cooked fruits
Green leafy vegetables
Root vegetables
Cooked leafy vegetables
Whole grain breads and cereals
Dietary supplements such as Metamucil, Naturacil,
Fibercon, Citrucel, and others
Drink 6-8 8 ounce glasses of water every day
Exercise
Its good to exercise but avoid using heavy weights as it puts pressure on your abdominal region.
Hygiene
Maintaining a proper hygiene includes cleanin of the anus with water after you pass your stool. Ensuring the anus is properly cleaned.
Tub Bath
Bathing in a tub for 20 minutes with warm water can relieve the condition.
Surgery
You resort to surgery when the condition is not manageable anymore.
Alternative Medicines
There has been a good success in healing hemorrhoid symptoms with alternative healing methods like ayurveda and homeopathy. Even in cases where a surgery is suggested before you go under the knife try ayurvedic or homeopathic medicines. It works and am saying it from personal experience.
Overall hemorrhoid no matter how discomforting it may sound, can be managed by following proper diet, exercise and also experimenting with what aggravates the problem.
Mr.Mike Russel is an independent researcher and has been doing research on healing of hemorrhoids.
