How to Get Rid of Hemorrhoids
1. What is a Hemorrhoid? What are Hemorrhoid Symptoms?
Hemorrhoids, hemmoroids, or hemmorrhoids... However you want to spell it, it is a nasty condition to be inflicted with. (The correct spelling is H-E-M-O-R-R-H-O-I-D-S, by the way.) A hemorrhoid is an abnormally swollen vein in the anus or rectum; you could compare it to a varicose vein on someone's leg. When a swollen vein becomes irritated, the surrounding membranes begin to swell, itch, burn, and bleed. Overall, hemorrhoids can be extremely painful. However, you may have a hemorrhoid for years and never have a single symptom.There are two types: Internal hemorrhoids and External hemorrhoids.
Internal hemorrhoids generally go unnoticed because they are inside the rectum. If bleeding occurs, it is important to see your physician because it could be a sign of something more serious, such as colorectal cancer. External hemorrhoids are hemmorrhoids that you WILL feel. These cause itching, burning and pain. If the blood supply through the swollen vein becomes blocked, it will result in a clot being formed, which could cause a thrombosed hemorrhoid - an extremely painful condition that is hard, smooth and appears black or purple in color. It often feels like a growth coming from the anus. Your doctor can alleviate a thrombosed hemorrhoid with a tiny incision. Left alone, it could take a few weeks to go away - but if it hangs around for more than two weeks, see the doctor! It is important to realize that once you have had a hemorrhoid, it is very easy to get more of them because the veins have already been stretched.2. The Cause of Hemorrhoids
Before hemorrhoids are eliminated, you must first figure out what is causing them.Major causes include:
- Sitting or standing for long periods of time.
A deficiency of fiber in the diet.- Anal intercourse.
- Frequent or severe coughing or sneezing.
- Straining during bowel movements - usually associated with constipation or hard stools.
- Diarrhea.
- Sitting on the toilet for long periods of time.
- Heavy lifting.
- Childbirth.
3. How to Get Rid of Hemorrhoids
There are two goals in the treatment of hemorrhoids; The first is to alleviate the symptoms of burning, itching, and pain. The second is to shrink the hemorrhoid itself.Treating Hemorrhoid Symptoms:
OTC pain medicine is helpful for treating hemorrhoid pain.- Aleve (naproxen sodium) is an anti-inflammatory that can relieve discomfort
- Topical creams or suppositories work well for the itching and burning - Tronolane, Preparation H, Hemorid, and Tucks are all products that are available over the counter.
Treating the Hemorrhoid:
- Topical medications (listed above) are useful in reducing irritation.
- A Sitz Bath is a small tub specially designed to allow the soaking of hemorrhoids without taking a bath, they are available at most pharmacies. Soak the rectal area in hot water for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. (This will help relieve symptoms and aid shrinkage) (For more information on hemorrhoid treatments, see how to relieve hemorrhoids)
Hemorrhoid Prevention:
- Reducing constipation is the best way to eliminate recurring hemorrhoids. (Find out how to use home remedies for constipation)
- Use a bulk fiber supplement to soften stools and eliminate straining during bowel movements. This is only helpful if you do not already have a hemorrhoid because it may take several days for the fiber to take effect. It also helps to regulate bowel movements.
- Cleanse the rectal area after every bowel movement.

Hi, my sister is a nurse and she says that gently massaging the hemorrhoid and gently reinserting it (if it’s prolapsed) can provide relief. I ended up with a hemorrhoid after giving birth. I’ve found that doing the pelvic floor exercises help it to go away without the need for cream etc. A friend introduced me to a a type of yoga he does and the instructor has spent a lot of time on pelvic exercises (essentially lying on your back, raising your pelvis off the floor while tightening/clenching as much as you can your buttocks, thighs, stomach etc)you hold this position for as long as you can (around 10 secs) then relax, repeat exercise (I’d try doing 5 repetitions at 10 seconds each to begin with). I noticed that by the end of the second day of doing these exercises that the hemorrhoid had significantly reduced, by the end of the third day it had disappeared. Maybe this won’t work for everyone but may be worth checking it out. Pelvic floor exercises can’t hurt anyone.
For the teenagers posting to this site – Please don’t struggle with this on your own! Talk to your parents and get some medical advice if you are in pain, you shouldn’t ever feel too embarrassed to talk about any health issues you’re having!!!!!
ive had the h roid as some call it for a week or so on the outside of my anus and was in great pain after reading many ideas here and what not i attempted some of them with no great relief oddly enough i tried my own tactic my h roid as some call it was on the outside well i used some aloe very at the time to cool down the pain and as odd as it sounds accidently pushed it back into my anus the h roid that as and to my relief the pain is gone im not saying this tactic will help the issue im sure the next timei have a movement itll be pushed out and ill pushed the h roid back in and hopefully relieves the pain again if anyone else has tried this or does try it and confirms it relived pain for them as well and if there is and complications id like to know and ill post anything new that comes up im sure this wont get rid of my hemroid or anyone else for those that have them on the outside of their anus
HERE IS THE CURE : OLIVE OIL.
I have been suffering for years until my mother told me to try drinking olive oil. I started by taking a table spoon first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and another spoon after dinner at night. Within 2 days I felt so much better.
Now I don’t bother with spoons, I just drink straight out the bottle. Don’t over do it though else you will have the Runs!
The idea is to constantly have an easy bowel movement for a few days and this relieves pressure on the existing hemorrhoids. And eventually you will see no blood, feel no pain and going to the toilet won’t feel like you’re about to get raped!
Stick with the olive oil and obviously drink as much water as you can, drown yourself if you have to. The most important thing to do is to tackle the cause.
IMO hemorrhoids happen when we have an imbalance in our body and of course constipation etc doesn’t help.
Excercise is a MUST if you want to stay hemorrhoid free. You must tone up your insides and the best way to do that is to lots of cardio and don’t forget the a healthy diet is just as important.
Lots of green vegetables, fruits etc. Fibre is good but start off with little else it will feel like you are giving birth especially if your hemorrhoids are really bad. I one day went on an all fibre diet eating nothing but fibre such as weetabix and all bran flakes. When I did eventually go to the toilet, I was close death! The pain was excrutiating!
Didn’t touch fibre for a long time after that!
So, a healthy non fatty, non sugary, non dairy diet, lots of regular excercise, lots of water and of course don’t forget the olive oil and you will be fine.
If not then get to the docs as it could be more complicated..
Wish you all the best except the guy who used ice cream and allowed another guy to screw him!
What can help any kind of hemmroid? I am 23 years old and I found out that I had one in the spring of 05. I was to scared to go to the doctors. It is 5 years later and I still have them. I was hoping they would have went away by now. I don’t have the money to go to the Er or the doctors. can anything help me?
Ok I found a site that say use vitamin E oil, Now being a animal lover I would not use the preparation H it is made from shark’s livers. Who new ,oh and he said not to have the surgery. His father had the surgery, than had a few more so that doesn’t work.
Drink lots of water and he says all the other thing don’t eat alot of meat.
I to have this Hemorrhoid, but i guess I’m lucky no itchys ,no bleeding ,only time I have some pain is when I have anal sex. I did not know you can get rhoids that way .wow I’m going to try the warm soaks.
Has anyone ever tried Clear Med? I found it on line $39.99 ,money back .
Now do they come back again after you get rid of them?
I have had hemorrhoids for several years now. With a lot of research, I changed my diet and now they’re pain free! BUT i still have external hemorrhoids, and I want to get rid of them without surgical treatments. I don’t have much money, and I’m always embarrassed to have sex with my boyfriend.
If anyone has advice on getting rid of external hemorrhoids other than banding or surgery, please PLEASE PLEASE let me know!!
I’m so glad i’m not alone on this. It’s so awkward to talk about it. No one knows, not even my boyfriend!
I am pretty sure i have one. I am a 14 year oldmale and im embaressed to ask my parents for advice. It itches and burns but doesn’t bleed. I just want to know if it goes awy by it self,and if yes,about how long it takes. If not, how can i get rid of it? I have had it for about a week and a half and i am not sure how worried i should be.
Please, please, please, Respond.
I get these every blue moon without blood and serious swelling and it just goes away after a week or so. Don’t panic, try not to push as hard next time you take a shit.
I’ve noticed that my hemorrhoid swelling is reduced when I take my blood pressure medication.
