Hemroid Remedies : Permanent removal

By Greg McKenzie

So you would like to get rid of hemorrhoids, I don't blame you, they are the most painful, annoying, inconvenient little things ever. For anyone who has ever suffered from the pain and inconvenience of them, I understand your desire to get rid of hemorrhoids. Those blessed with never having suffered from hemorrhoids simply cannot understand.

There are three treatments that I prefer for hemorrhoids. I have used two of them and I have witnessed the unfortunate results of the third treatment.

The first preference is something I am sure you have heard of such as ointments and suppositories like Preparation H.

Although they don't actually get rid of hemorrhoids they do have some advantages. (From my own experience the suppository has always worked a lot better than the ointment, even for external hemorrhoids. This is because there are probably internal hemorrhoids as well, and you need to treat them as well to have relief.) The biggest advantage of using these methods is the ease of it, a bit unpleasant but no thinking required, just pop off to the drug stores and you are set.

I did have some unfortunate side effects from the treatment, such as elevated blood pressure, which compelled me to look for alternatives. There are usually repercussions when using a chemical treatment for an illness or disease. In addition, my hemorrhoids weren't even cured; the pain was just alleviated for a little while. Lastly, you cannot employ the treatment while your hemorrhoids are bleeding.

The second option is to go under the knife, and have your hemorrhoids removed by surgery.

A doctor suggest I do this, but I didn't go through with it. My father had previously had the operation and he was in indescribable pain for days. Here is how he described it: "Like hooks tearing into my butt". After his experience, I made every effort to avoid surgery and so should you. It just isn't necessary.

Natural hemorrhoid cures are the final type of treatment.

Although I used to be dubious about using natural cures, I now know better. So what are their advantages? First, I was surprised at how strong and effective they are. They work quickly, the cost is considerably less than most products, and your hemorrhoids will actually go away.

On the negative side, it takes a bit of effort to investigate which natural hemorrhoid treatments are effective and which ones are useless. I do not recommend that you believe everything that you read; you should stick to reliable information and verify everything that you read. - 16650
