A lot of people around the world suffer from an unpleasant and delicate disease - hemorrhoids. Most people, if they encounter a problem, put off going to the proctologist for a long time because of their constraint. But the disease must be treated, otherwise it develops, causing more and more inconvenience.
The development of the disease goes through four stages. If the disease is in the first stage, then can be carried out at home. But in this case, it is still worth visiting a doctor for a consultation.
How to cure hemorrhoids folk remedies?
Traditional medicine offers many recipes for the treatment of hemorrhoids:
- compresses;
- ointments;
- candles;
- ingestion of decoctions of herbs and vegetable juices;
- microclysters and other methods.
You can treat hemorrhoids at home if the disease is at stages 1-2. For external and internal hemorrhoids, the methods of treatment are different. In the first case, compresses, ointments and lotions are more effective, and in the second - suppositories, rectal tampons and microclysters.
Medical methods
Medications are prescribed by your doctor, although there are drugs that you can buy at a pharmacy without a prescription. Hemorrhoids can be treated with candles, ointments and gels (Proctosan, Relief, and so on). Mostly used local treatment. In some cases, treatment can be supplemented with drugs that stimulate blood flow in the anus or, conversely, slow it down in case of frequent bleeding. With severe pain, painkillers are prescribed, for example, novocaine injections.
Minimally invasive methods
Hemorrhoidal nodes 2-3 degrees in most cases are not amenable to treatment with medicines or folk remedies. You can remove them using minimally invasive methods:
- electrocoagulation;
- infrared coagulation;
- ligation with latex rings;
- deserterization;
- sclerotherapy.
Due to the cessation of blood flow in hemorrhoids, after a while they themselves fall off and go outside. The blood flow stops mechanically, for example, latex rings, or the introduction of a special drug. Also, the nodes are destroyed under the influence of a laser beam. The procedures are carried out on an outpatient basis and painlessly. The patient does not even need to take sick leave, as the next day he can go to work.
Surgical intervention
If the disease has reached the fourth stage, then only surgery can solve the problem. During surgery, hemorrhoids are removed, but this does not guarantee that in the future the disease will not make itself felt again.
To reduce the risk of re-occurrence of hemorrhoids, you must carefully monitor your diet and lead an active lifestyle. Do not self-medicate, as this can lead to complications.
