   It is very important to discover the cause of hemorrhoids. Just getting relief from hemorrhoids symptoms isn’t going to get you anywhere, if you don’t have a strategy about how to get rid of them for good. The following self-care measures may relieve the symptoms, but they won’t make the hemorrhoid disappear. See your doctor if you don’t get relief in a few days, or sooner if you have severe pain or bleeding.

   1. Apply a hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a topical numbing agent.
   2. You have to take minimum eight or nine glasses of water per day. Also check the amount of fiber you are eating and adjust it accordingly.
   3. Keep the anal area clean and dry. Take a bath or shower (a bath is much better) daily and clean the skin around your anus gently with warm water. Soap isn’t necessary and may aggravate the problem. You should dry the affected part of your body to avoid any irritations.
   4. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on the anus to relieve swelling. Make sure the ice is wet and slippery, not sticky. Insert it in the anal hole like a normal suppository.
   5. A Seitz bath fits over the toilet. For this treatment you will need one plastic tub with warm water. You can get one at a medical supply store or some pharmacies. It is suggested to use this treatment for 15 minutes three times in a day. This treatment will reduce pain and swelling most effectively, as this is an easier treatment for hemorrhoid relief. Or you could just buy some Epsom salts, and put them in a bath, then sit there for ten minutes to gain hemroid relief, longer if necessary.
   6. Do not use dry toilet paper when wiping your ass. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use wet and moist towels or wet toilet paper that doesn’t contain perfume or alcohol.
   7. If coming from the anal hole, you can also try to gently push them back. Once they back in, the pain should disappear very quickly.
   8. Exercise your body. Keep in mind that staying on the toilet for more than five minutes at a time aggravates your hemorrhoids. Take several short walks a day.
   9. You can find relief from hemorrhoids using a hemorrhoid cushion. A hemorrhoid cushion is an inflatable rubber ring, similar to the inflatable rings that kids wear at the beach. When you sit on it, the cushion is minimizing the contact pressure between the sitting surface and the hemorrhoid.

   Hope this helps.

   Hi Denise,
   First You should do this first for some immediate relief.Sitz baths are used as a form of pain relief and local cleansing for people who suffer hemorrhoids.A sitz bath is is where you get in the bath and you immerse you bottom and hips in cool or warm water it will decrease the inflammation of your hemorrhoids.Simply add salt or baking soda to the water and soak yourself for 20 minutes it cleans the effected area and relieves the pain.

   I would advise you to forget all the creams tablets and potions because all they do is is alleviate the problem for a short term.You need to get to the root cause to sort them out for once and all and get rid of them permanently.

   You can get a free brochure here http://www.hemorrhoids-gone.com/ which will tell you all about natural healing methods

   Also I suggest to try some herbal treatment !
   in that case Venapro is a good (probably the best) product that gets rid of hemorrhoids and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! of course if you will use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly).

   It worked for me!

   I do not know if any pharmacies carry Venapro but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.venapro.com/?aid=749165

   I don’t have an answer that hasn’t already been covered but I can tell you what to get your health care provider to prescribe when you see them.

   You want to ask for ditilazem cream. It provides GREAT relief from hemorrhoids and helps to shrink them.

   Best Wishes!
