Hemorrhoids - Top Treatments To Get Rid Of External Hemrrhoids

By Joanna E. Jordan

With so many external hemorrhoid treatments available today, which ones should I try first? Is one better than the other? Does one work faster than the other? Do these treatments have possible side effects? Are there any alternative remedies available? Some of the most popular treatments to consider are:

Suppositories is one of the leading treatments used today. This treatment allows for delivery of moisture and lubrication to the hemorrhoid which helps for the next bowel movement.

One more external hemorrhoid treatment that is commonly recommended are over-the-counter ointments and creams. These however, are only topical solutions that will temporarily soothe the blood vessels which then help to relax the rectal tissue so that it will not bulge out.

Medication which helps to regulate the blood pressure is another commonly prescribed treatment. This medication is used to help restrict the vein tissue which keeps the hemorrhoid from being further exposed. This method however, may also be accompanied by side effects.

One of the most extreme examples that can be exercised for the relief of external hemorrhoids is that of surgery. This extreme measure is also accompanied by the possibility of complications from the surgery and also other side effects.

A treatment that is also worth mentioning because of its astonishing acceptance has been the Natural hemorrhoid treatment. The overwhelming response to this new treatment is due in part because it is much less invasive, costs a lot less than the other treatments but also for ability to avoid embarrassment issues that are attached to issue of hemorrhoids.

To each of the remedies being mentioned comes a for and against argument. Yet, each solution needs to be addressed on a case by case basis and what each one can bear.

An important and significant point that is worth mentioning is the ever increasing interest and pursuit for alternative and natural hemorrhoid treatments. Many say that the demand has been due to its "back-to-basics" homeopathic nature, the safe use and faster results that many experience within a few days. - 15995
