What are a few natural ways to relieve hemorrhoids?
Greeneye asked:
I’ve had some extreme pain at times recently,with a little bleeding and alot a couple of times,about a 1/4 cup of blood in feicies.I do use acouple medicated gels sometimes but they only do so much.


After my first child was born, I developed this problem. I used a medium sized bowl of body-temp water and rinsed from front to back over the toilet. Your situation is more serious… please see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. There are many helping treatments…suffering does not have to be your choice!
First off, are they a few reasons why you might have then? Being obese, chronically constipated, or pregnancy are a few reasons. (I don’t know if you’re m or f) Losing weight, exercising, keeping your bowels regular by drinking plenty of fluid and eating a high fiber diet are a few things that might help. If your hemorrhoids are that bad, you really should see a doctor. They might recommend stool softeners or even surgery.
Sit in a hot sitz bath of water and epsom salt. You can also use witch hazel in the bath. But it sounds like **** fissures which are tears in the rectun due to hard ***** or constipation. If OTC meds don’t work like the Prep H creams or pads see a doctor to be sure it’s nothing serious
