Hemorrhoids or Piles as they are often called in the UK, are swellings on the inside of the anal canal, the short, muscular tube that connects the rectum with the anus. They are round swellings that can reach the size of a grape. They are not varicose veins. Here are few of the questions frequently asked about hemorrhoids - responses are by other readers. None of the answers are intended to constitute medical advice, so please consult your medical practitioner before trying anything out.
go to a docter
either get a friend to push them back or go to a doctor
Try getting some hemoroidal ointment,un till you can get to a MD…Ointment helps relieve pain and swelling.
For immediate relief, apply a topical over-the-counter ointment or use zinc oxide, petroleum jelly, or witch hazel.
Take two or three sitz baths daily: Sit in a warm bath with your knees raised for five to fifteen minutes.
If you must sit for long periods of time, or if you simply need immediate relief from painful hemorrhoids, buy a “doughnut” to relieve the pressure of sitting.
Shift the emphasis of your diet to high-fiber, complex-carbohydrate foods. Gradually increase the amounts of fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, beans, and other high-fiber foods. Gradually eliminate highly refined foods.
Use a stool softener or psyllium powder-
1 teaspoon in water once or twice daily–when you first notice symptoms or if hard stool is not relieved by diet.
Improve your bowel habits: Don’t strain; move your bowels only when you feel the urge. Limit the time you spend on the toilet-don’t use the bathroom as a library!
Don’t use harsh toilet paper. Use premoistened towelettes and wipe gently.
Avoid lifting heavy objects, as this puts a stress on your circulatory system.
If you are pregnant, it can help to lie down on your left side and rest for about a half hour two or three times a day. It also helps to lie on your left side at night, if you’re comfortable in that position, to relieve the pressure of the fetus on the veins serving the lower half of the body.
TAKE:
Rutin: 100 mg,three times daily.
Cut an onion in half, heat it under the hottest running water, then apply to the area. Seriously.
Then, get more fiber in your diet. Raw vegetables, lots of them.
This is a problem for a surgeon, not a naturopath.
I will tell you that, while pregnant I developed some hemorroids, and the best things to do were this: the dr. prescribed procto-foam, it stops pain inside and out; and miralax. If you don’t have to push (you still have control with this product) at all, the hemorroids get better.

TRY PREPARATION H OT A SIMILAR CREAM
USE A STULL SOFTENER.if it is as bad as you say. might see a doctor.I HAVE ONE AND CONTROL IT A STU LL SOFTNER SO WHEN YOU HAVE A MOMENT IT’.AS KIND SOFT
NOW THE HAVE A ROUND TUBE YOU PUT IN THE FREEZER,AND INSERT IT AND IT SHRINK ES THE SWELLING,
One that serious can cause bad problems. You can lose a LOT of blood, or have a free floating blood clot in your system (research pulmonary embolism). You need to go to the ER if it’s bleeding that badly. And yes, I work in the medical field.
When external hemorrhoids block and also cause bleeding, then it is time to get them cut off. When hemorrhoids are this large, there is nothing in alternative medicine that can fix it.
You can push them back in, but it only works for a while. Please find a good gastrointestinal internist in your area. They will want to scope you before they schedule surgery, to make sure there is nothing else just inside that needs to be taken care of also. You can be loosing lots of blood internally that you are not aware of, which can be quite dangerous.
While you are waiting for surgery, sitz baths help some. Carry around a donut to sit on, instead of hard cushions and plastic chairs. Keep very, very clean because you do not want an infection also.
When you have had surgery, you will need to make sure you prevent the problem from reoccuring. Try adding magnesium to your diet as this helps loosen stools and prevents straining that can cause hemorrhoids. Two good products to try are Natural Calm and Ionic Fizz. Don’t waste your money on other forms or brands because they won’t give you the desired result that these brands will. ( I know from experience!)
Of course, eating fiber in it’s natural form helps – lots of fruits, veggies, nuts and whole grains like oatmeal, along with plenty of water.
Begin a walking regime. Start by purchasing a pedometer and begin to work up to 10,000 steps a day.
Of course, you can start all this stuff now, and it will help you immensely, but you still need to have the surgery.
Alternative medicine works best when it works WITH doctors of conventional medicine.
The only suggestion that I have not seen so far is Bathroom Reading Material. Ever worder why there are magazines and newspapers in so many home bathrooms??? Reading takes your mind off of the situation, and you forget to push.
1. Take 2 – 4 key lime root. Clean it and boil it with 1 1/2 liter of water until there is only 1 liter left of it. Then put it through a sieve and drink it every evening regularly.
2. Dissolve Mang Xiao(Sodium Sulfate)100g and Alum 15g into 2000ml boiling water,bathe the affected area,twice daily,2 days a course.

There is no permanent cure for Hemorroids, the procedures are only temporary and does not entitle you to revert back to your old life style. If you revert back to your old life style, there is a ninety nine percent chance that you will suffer from this problem quite soon again.
The best and the natural way to go about treating Hemorroids are controlling your life style and eating habits. First and foremost, follow a regular schedule for taking food. It is okay to have snacks between meals, what needs to be cared for is try to avoid fried foods or foods that have a lot of spices as additives. These can irritate your colon and your intestines. Food also tends to stick to the colon and other parts of the stomach, these needs to be flushed regularly. This too can be done the natural way; take foods with a lot of fiber content. Fruits, vegetables and greens are the best forms of foods that have fibers. The fiber is thicker on the skin than on the fleshy part of the fruit / vegetable. Take fruits and vegetables with the skin; you may have to clean it thoroughly before taking them.
There are number of pre cooked foods that are available from super stores which are also rich in fiber content. Before dropping them in your shopping cart, read their content, this will give you an idea of their fiber content.
It is advisable to have a fruit as a dessert after each meal. Drink lots of water and defecate in a regular pattern (time schedule). Following the above tips will keep Hemorroids at bay for a long time to come.
These are standard procedures for treating Hemorroids; however there are a number of Chinese herbal / natural cures which make use of herbs / animal fat to cure Hemorroids. The authenticity of this medication has not been proved but word of mouth saying proves that they are also quite effective against Hemorroids.
