It is not easy to live with pulsating pains in the rectum. With hemorrhoids, even the simplest movements - sitting, standing, going to the toilet - become a real pain. The idea that “just like me, another 12,5 percent of the world’s population suffers from hemorrhoids” is no relief. So what is this disease and how to get rid of hemorrhoids at home?

Causes of hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids

In most cases, hemorrhoids occur due to circulatory disorders in the small pelvis (pelvis): if for any reason the re-flow of blood from the veins in the rectum is impaired. Stomach cramps, constipation, diarrhea, pregnancy - all this leads to elongation and swelling of the walls of blood vessels, which leads to the formation of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidal nodules can be located both inside and outside the rectum - around the anus (in the latter case they can be seen with the unaided eye).

Ways to treat hemorrhoids at home

First-degree hemorrhoids are milder in the treatment of non-severe pathological changes in the rectal walls and anal sphincter tissue. If the disease progresses to the third or fourth stage, which is characterized by the protrusion of the nodes through the posterior exit hole (in the third stage they are reintroduced independently, in the fourth stage even this is impossible), it can only be removed surgically. Or one has to rely on miracles to happen, but as world experience of humanity confirms, miracles happen very rarely.
Does this mean that hemorrhoids cannot be treated at home? No, it is not. There is a cure for hemorrhoids. First, the treatment of hemorrhoids in the first and second stages is conservative - it is more important to follow the rules of medication, hygiene and change the regimen. Second, symptomatic treatment is given at all stages of hemorrhoid development, which can relieve pain, itching, inflammation in the anal area, and even slightly reduce the size of the hemorrhoidal nodules.

Prevention of hemorrhoids

The easiest way to treat hemorrhoids at home is to change your diet and lifestyle.
First of all, the diet should be reconsidered to prevent constipation (this is dangerous as it contributes to the development of hemorrhoids due to increased pressure in the abdomen). To do this, it is necessary to consume products that contain ballast substances (fiber). However, the inclusion of fiber-rich foods in the daily diet should be done with great caution - excess fiber leads to increased gas production, which also creates high pressure in the abdominal cavity. The amount of fiber consumption for an adult should be in the range of 25-30 grams per day. If there is a problem with this for any reason, the missing fiber can be replaced with bio-supplements. The more fiber your body absorbs with food, the more water you need to drink.
Some types of food can increase blood flow to the walls of the rectum, which increases the risk of aggravating the symptoms of hemorrhoids. First of all, such products include alcoholic beverages and spicy foods. Such products should be completely limited or minimized.
It is necessary to drink enough fluids for the passage of feces through the rectum without tension: 6 glasses a day.
It is recommended to consume fermented foods regularly - they are popular yeast-dairy products (yogurt, ryazhenka, prostokvasha), yogurt, kimchi and others. According to some studies, regular consumption of fermented foods improves digestion, increases the synthesis of nutrients in the intestine, maintains acid-base balance. In addition, probiotics with “good” bacteria, such as Bifidius and Lactobacillus, also improve intestinal peristalsis. A glass of “live” yogurt will be a tasty and useful addition to the diet in hemorrhoids.

There are certain rules to follow when using the toilet:
First, don’t try to get it all out of yourself right away and at once (remember about the detrimental side of intra-abdominal pressure).
Second, it is recommended to go to the toilet on time - that is, as soon as there is a call. The habit of tolerance increases the dryness of the stool, which leads to unnecessary straining during defecation and an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. If such a problem occurs, mild diarrhea can be used. But their overuse is also not recommended, otherwise the inflammatory process in the rectum may begin.
Third, you can try to put a chair under the feet so that the knees are slightly higher than the pelvis, which will help to get the stool out faster.
Fourth, you should not stay in the toilet for long - sitting on the toilet for a long time increases blood flow to the back of the body, including hemorrhoids.
Finally, it is recommended to wash with mild baby soap after each defecation - this will help reduce the chances of inflammation of the hemorrhoidal nodules.

Hemorrhoids are indicated by exercise and an active lifestyle. Regular physical activity improves the condition of the cardiovascular system of the body and thus reduces the pressure on the veins in the small pelvic area. Even if the patient’s occupation requires sitting or standing for long periods of time, it is recommended that five minutes of exercise be allocated every hour to distribute the blood and prevent its stagnation in the small pelvis. Exercise should not be associated with lifting weights - this can lead to an increase in hemorrhoids; it is also recommended to reduce the number of sittings. In general, you should exercise at least 2,5 hours a week. Running, walking, swimming, long walks are good help in hemorrhoids.
