Thrombosed Hemorrhoids Exposed

By Heather-Jane Hunter

Thrombosed hemorrhoids are amongst the most severe forms of hemorrhoids. A thrombosed hemorrhoid is a hemorrhoid in which the vein has clotted. Although thrombosed hemorrhoids are normally very painful they do not generally require surgical removal. The can occur inside the anal canal or as external hemorrhoids and they vary in size from being very small (the size of a pea) through to being as large as a golf ball in the most extreme cases.

Natural remedies can make a big difference to sufferers of thrombosed hemorrhoids; in fact, when natural cures are used correctly they can fully cure thrombosed hemorrhoids. Below we have listed some useful tips to relieve hemorrhoid pain:

Use warm baths to ease the pain and reduce the swelling of hemorrhoids. At least 2 bathes per day in warm water are recommended. If you can sit down thats great " if this causes you too much pain however; squatting is fine.

One of the most painful things for hemorrhoid sufferers is to pass a stool. You can make this a lot easier by making the stool softer which can be done by increasing your daily fiber intake. That means eating more fruits, cereals, and vegetables.

Avoid dehydration. Stay hydrated by drinking a minimum of 7 glasses of water daily. This is not difficult - you should aim for 10 glasses to ensure hydration. Try drinking 2 glasses immediately when you wake up in the morning, 2 more at morning tea time and lunch time, 2 at dinner time and 2 before going to bed. Its always better to sip the water than drink it quickly.

One easy way to get fast pain relief is to numb the area using ice. Ice does more than just numb the area " it will also reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoid which will actually shrink the hemorrhoid.

Apply over the counter hemorrhoid creams for pain relief. (NB: Some creams may cause extra irritation to your skin so choose one carefully)

While its not recommended as an ongoing solution for hemorrhoid pain relief, Ibuprofen is very effective for short term pain relief.

Increase your rate of metabolism by walking for 20 minutes a day. This is probably best done after having a sitz bath or when you feel the least pain.

Reduce irritation and pain when cleaning your anus by using extra soft toilet paper or a soft damp towel.

A fast and easy way to cure thrombosed hemorrhoids is using a natural system such as the one created by Holly Hayden called H-Miracle. H-Miracle has cured many thousands of cases of hemorrhoids and also provides fantastic information about ways to get quick pain relief.

If you have tried everything including natural cures such as H-Miracle and still havent got results, its most likely you will need surgery to remove the hemorrhoid. A few of your options include:

Rubber Band ligation " this process involves tying a rubber band around the hemorrhoid which restricts blood flow to the hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid then eventually shrivels up and disappears.

Hemorrhoidectomy " probably the most painful of all hemorrhoid removal procedures, the hemorrhoid is cut away using a special apparatus. Patients usually require several weeks of painful recovery time.

Sclerotherapy " the infected area is injected with a shrinking agent. The hemorrhoid eventually disappears.

As mentioned above, surgery should be considered a last resort for removing thrombosed hemorrhoids, in the vast majority of cases thrombosed hemorrhoids can be cures using simple natural techniques.
