Oak bark
Burning, itching, pain? Oak bark saps, which have anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, will help you reduce the unpleasant symptoms of hemorrhoids. Both women and men can reach for them. Treatments should be repeated every day, preferably in the evening before going to bed. Contrary to appearances, it is not difficult to prepare an oak bark bath. Pour a teaspoon of crushed and dried bark with a glass of water, cook for 15 minutes, and then leave it covered. You pour the prepared solution into a bidet or bathtub with very warm water and it’s ready. You can also prepare the soups from horse chestnut, chamomile, yarrow or witch hazel.

Ice cubes
Ice cubes wrapped in a handkerchief can come to the rescue of hemorrhoids. Ice packs should be applied to the painful areas for about ten minutes, which will significantly ease the pain. You can repeat the “frost treatment” several times a day. An effective alternative is compresses with a damp tea bag. The tannins (vegetable tannins) present in its leaves have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic (disinfecting) properties.
The appearance of hemorrhoids is usually an indication for a visit to the gastrologist. Treatment is not easy, but it is worth introducing changes as soon as possible. Consultation of contracts today via the halodoctor.pl portal.
Change of diet
The risk of developing hemorrhoids increases in people with habitual constipation. However, you can prevent constipation by leading a healthy lifestyle and diet. What? Rich in fiber that promotes the proper functioning of the intestines. Include in your daily menu: bran, whole wheat bread, coarse groats, brown rice, vegetables and fruits (including prunes and figs). In a high-residual diet, fermented milk products (yoghurt, kefir, buttermilk) also play an important role as they have a positive effect on the intestinal microbiota. It is worth remembering that with an increased supply of fiber, it is important to drink the right amount of fluids – that is 1,5-2 liters a day.
If you do not know how to make changes to your diet, use the help of a dietitian as part of online consultations on the halodoctor.pl portal.
Moderate traffic
Although avoidance of exercise is an important factor in the development of haemorrhoidal disease, certain activities can contribute to the development of haemorrhoids. These include disciplines that require a sitting position: riding a bicycle, motorbike or horse riding. People who develop hemorrhoids should also beware of lifting weights. What sports can they do then? Walking, running, swimming and gymnastics will be the best. Regular exercise – in addition to having a positive effect on the entire body – will prevent constipation, which is one of the causes of hemorrhoids.
Intimate hygiene
Irritated area of the anus in haemorrhoidal disease requires proper intimate hygiene. Cosmetics that we use for daily care should not contain irritating substances such as alcohol, synthetic dyes or parabens. Instead, it is worth looking for: liquids, gels and foams that soothe irritation. Natural plant extracts of aloe vera, calendula and chamomile are the best choice. It is also very important to maintain the proper pH around the anus, which should be close to the natural pH. If the washing substance used for daily hygiene of places with hemorrhoids is enriched with natural amino acids, oak or witch hazel extract, it will effectively take care of the acidic environment of these areas.
Anusir anal and stoma cleansing foam can also be used for intimate hygiene.
Tablets, suppositories, ointments
You can get most of the preparations that help reduce pain and delay the development of lumps over the counter. Tablets, suppositories and ointments can have different effects: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling. They improve blood flow, seal and strengthen the vessels. The basic ingredients of most preparations are plant extracts of horse chestnut, arnica or calendula. When the area around the anus is very irritated, it is better to use the ointment, and if the symptoms are mild – suppositories.
If you have a problem with hemorrhoids, buy Anusir hemorrhoids suppositories now. An example of an ointment for this condition is Anusir ointment or Hemorella ointment. You can also order HEMOpran – a set for hemorrhoids – a washing gel and a cream that soothes irritation and reduces itching.
Herbal tea
Another way to treat hemorrhoids is herbal infusions that should be drunk regularly. An example is the herb for hemorrhoids in the form of yarrow, which stops slight bleeding from haemorrhoids and inhibits contraction of intestinal smooth muscles. You can buy yarrow herb in the form of a tea at Medonet Market. On the other hand, the infusion from a chamomile basket has anti-inflammatory properties and soothes irritations. Although there are ready-made mixtures for haemorrhoids available for sale, you can prepare your own. All you need to do is pour a teaspoon of a mixture of wormwood, nettle, coltsfoot, horsetail or elderberry and plantain with a glass of hot water. The tea should be brewed for about ten minutes, then strained and added to the squeezed clove of garlic. You can also buy a ready-made herbal mixture, for example FOR HEMORRHOIDS – herbal-fruit tea by Herbapol in Krakow or Hemorrhoids – a mixture of herbs based on the original recipe of Father Klimuszko.
Surgical treatment
If the pain and other unpleasant symptoms persist, contact a doctor who will prescribe other measures and offer surgical treatment. The most frequently used treatments include rubberizing, the so-called Barron’s method, used for XNUMXnd and XNUMXrd degree hemorrhoids. The method consists in placing a rubber ring on the base of the tumor, which cuts off the blood supply to it, it dies, and then falls off. Sclerotherapy and laser therapy are also popular. In the most severe cases, surgical excision of the hemorrhoids is performed.
