Hemorrhoid Treatment – Types of Non-Surgical Hemorrhoid Treatment
There are many types of hemorrhoid treatment available nowadays. If you are someone who has tried numerous hemorrhoid solutions then you most likely understand the differences of how each one is used. Let me touch on what each different solution does for the body, how they are intended to treat your hemorrhoids and the divisive, scary truth on most of them.
The primary and most popular type of hemorrhoid treatment is creams and ointments where an external topical remedy is rubbed on the surface of your rectal area. It aims to soothe blood vessels and create a relaxing effect of the tissue so that it reduces the swelling and provides relief. Once the size of the tissue is reduced, the hemorrhoid will be less likely to flare up. This is great for some relief but it is only a temporary effect and you are almost guaranteed to flare up again.
The 2nd type that is widely accepted is in the form of suppositories. These are inserted inside the rectum for the purposes of creating a moist environment and creating a lubricating effect over the hemorrhoid so that during bowel movement there will be less irritation. The aim is to ensure the hemorrhoid is given time to heal without further rupturing and irritation. For number of sufferers, suppositories work fine but for others it is not so effective, however it is worth trying it.
The 3rd type hemorrhoid treatment is pills that once consumed they regulate the blood pressure in the body. These pills can give you side effects but overall they do tighten the vein tissue and the hemorrhoid becomes not as much vulnerable to problems. It is a very generic approach that has its benefits but can also induce undesirable side effects.
These three types are the most common and the first think your doctor to recommend. However they do not provide long term or permanent solution to your hemorrhoid problem.
Once those methods fail your doctor will push you towards serious and most likely avoidable procedures such as cryotherapy or surgery. Deciding which hemorrhoid treatment to choose depends on the individual case, your health philosophy and what you can tolerate. In my personal experience, the body is designed to heal itself provided I give it what it needs to do so.
My personal philosophy is try to help your body by using natural and safe remedies which give you no side effect before going to the extreme hemorrhoid surgery measures. Even if the pain is agonizing, you can definitely gain relief from the methods mentioned above but they will not cure your hemorrhoids for good.
Of course, not all hope is lost. I do know of one hemorrhoid treatment solution that has helped many, many people. Will it help you… I don’t know. Is it worth trying… absolutely.

In December 2007 I had the PPH surgery to eliminate stage 4 hemorrhoids. The first week of recovery was terribly painful and I was not off my pain medication for minute. By the end of the third week of recovery so much scar tissue had built up that it completely blocked my rectum. I had to visit my surgeon twice a week for him to tear the scar tissue and stretch the tissue; this went on for 2 months. In this time I noticed that a few small hemorrhoids had developed but my surgeon said there was nothing there. Everytime I go to the bathroom there are chunks of scar tissue in my stool and 2 years after my surgery date I began to feel the staples painfully poking me. 4 years later I am going to see a new surgeon today due to stage 3 hemorrhoids and a possibility that the staples have ripped out of place and are no longer effective. They recommended this surgery a few years ago and said there would be less need for re-occurring care, but I have found that now it is no longer a recommended procedure.

Jan 2010 got hurt at work lifting a box. Was bleeding for 11 months. Finally had the colonoscopy. They called it stage 3-4 rosettes. PPH was the best way to deal with this. Had the surgery Dec 13. No pain meds, just baths and heating pad, pain was terrible for 3 days. Started immediately with the Stool softeners and am still on them. Within a week, I already had something dropping out of me. Dr. pushed it back in. Stated everything was just fine. A week later saw Dr for next visit, same thing, pushed things back up, nothing to worry about he says, see you in 2 weeks. I go back to work. 2 weeks I see Dr and again he pushed things back up again. 3 week appt I see Dr and same thing, he numbs me this time, scopes me in the office and states that everything is fine. I am thinking and I say to him…Really! I can feel the staples and a large lump protruding out me everyday and I am bleeding again and you just pushed it back in me and everything is FINE!! No I don’t think so. So I leave the office and I call a Colon and Rectal Specialist. Go to this appointment. Long story short, I have a Colonoscopy scheduled on 3/22 to see what damage was done.
