What is hemorrhoids? This word is not for nothing sometimes called an undesirable condition, it will take a long and painful exit. Treatment of hemorrhoids is a really long process, and the sensations that arise with this disease are extremely unpleasant. But still getting rid of hemorrhoids is a completely solvable task. And although 15% of the world's population is sick, radical surgical treatment is the most extreme measure, which must be taken only in neglected cases. In order not to bring to an operation, it is necessary to start treating hemorrhoids at an early stage, when it is still possible to help yourself with folk remedies, independently, at home.







The development of hemorrhoids and the possibility of its treatment with folk remedies



Hemorrhoids are varicose veins of the straight lineguts and, like any varicose veins, it is a kind of "pay" for the upright, quadrupeds do not ever get sick of them. To overcome the impact of gravity, the blood of a person must move under great pressure. And if the wall of the vessel is too weak, it can not withstand the pressure of the blood - crooked, swollen and stretched. If this trouble happened to the veins of the rectum, we are dealing with hemorrhoids.



Without treatment, hemorrhoids develop very rapidly. The stretching of the venous wall disrupts the operation of the valves that help the blood flow, and can completely destroy them. As a result, the pressure in the vein increases even more, and a vicious circle arises: the manifestations of the disease themselves become the cause of its accelerating development. Therefore, it is necessary to start treating hemorrhoids when the very first symptoms appear.


Risk factors for hemorrhoids:




  • genetic predisposition


  • pregnancy and childbirth


  • hormonal therapy


  • sedentary work (there is stagnation of blood in the veins of the intestine)


  • sedentary lifestyle


  • obesity


  • frequent and prolonged constipation


  • hypertension


  • large physical exertion, especially static


  • frequent lifting of not even very heavy weights



Symptoms of hemorrhoids



The first manifestations of hemorrhoids, as a rule, are veryare insignificant, however, to notice them, an attentive attitude towards oneself is enough. And it is very important to discard inappropriate shyness: this illness is, of course, delicate, but it will be extremely unreasonable to refuse such a far-fetched excuse from a visit to a doctor.















1 stage of hemorrhoids:




  • appearance of blood during defecation


  • blood streaks in feces


  • a feeling of discomfort in the rectum


  • itching around the anus


  • the appearance of seals around the anus




2 stage of hemorrhoids:




  • After defecation, hemorrhoidal nodes drop out, but later retracted


  • increases the amount of blood in the feces


  • severe itching and burning around the anus


  • there is pain around the anus and inside


  • bleeding after defecation




Stage 3 hemorrhoids:




  • Hemorrhoidal nodes fall out even with minimal stress


  • self hemorrhoids are not retracted, but they can be filled with hands


  • persistent bloody discharge from the anus


  • severe pain, feeling of heaviness


  • edema of the anus




Stage 4 hemorrhoids:




  • The fallen hemorrhoids can not be fixed


  • pain and irritation are very strong


  • inflammation of the tissues around the anus


  • frequent bleeding


  • anemia


  • venous thrombosis






In the first stage the development of hemorrhoids symptoms can then appear,then again disappear. The disappearance of symptoms, unfortunately, does not mean that the illness has passed - its hidden development is under way. Treatment of hemorrhoids with folk remedies at this stage is the most effective, but it must be combined with the exact implementation of the doctor's recommendations.



In the second and third stages people's treatment is aimed at increasingcomfort of the patient's existence. At this time, with the help of folk remedies, they usually reduce bleeding and relieve pain, but the main treatment is not folk medicine, but medication.



In the fourth stage disease is possible exclusively surgical treatment.



The main goal in the treatment of hemorrhoids folkmeans - significantly slow the progression of the disease. Using exclusively folk medicine, hemorrhoids can not be completely cured, like any other varicose veins. Therefore, with the appearance of the first symptoms, you must first visit the proctologist, and only after that choose suitable for you folk methods of treatment. And do not forget to consult a doctor, how much the folk remedies will be combined with the medicines prescribed by him.


Self-help in the treatment of hemorrhoids



At whatever stage you begin to treat hemorrhoids,very much will depend not only on the doctor, but also on the correctness of your behavior during the treatment period. No medicine will not help if you do not follow a few simple rules.





Rules of conduct during the treatment of hemorrhoids

  2. If at work you are forced to stand for a long time orsit - take breaks. Every hour, change your pose. If possible, at the end of each working hour, take 2-3 minutes for a little workout and be like.
