Hemeroids develop due to uncontrolled growth of varicose veins. A person having hemeroids suffers from physical discomforts like bleeding, anal itching, pain and even mental distress because of social embarrassment. Although hemeroids do not cause serious health problems, ignorance towards its existence can produce severe health complications.

Causes of hemeroids includes dietary irritants, mental stress, straining, sitting and standing for long hours, irregular and unhygienic bowel movement, obesity and even working in high temperature conditions.

The most common symptoms of hemeroids includes blood in the stool, a burning and itching sensation in the rectum, additional pressure required in passing stool, rectal pain and irritation.

Test/Diagnosis for Hemeroids: Most likely the doctor may just examine your rectum with a gloved finger or he may use a short, lighted scope to look inside the rectum to know if you have hemeroids.

Hemeroid Cream

Monday, September 29, 2008

HEMEROID CREAM is one of the basic remedies that can help relieve the pain and swelling suffered by people with hemeroids. Hemeroid is an abnormality or disease that develops over time due to uncontrolled growth of varicose veins in the large intestine and rectum area. People at the peak age of 45-60 are more prone to be affected by hemeroids. Once you get hemeroids, asides the shame it brought- pain and discomfort will be your main problem. Fortunately, for most people, hemeroid "flare-ups" heal on their own within a couple of days and often clear up by themselves with minimal treatment such as applying hemeroid creams.

You can usually find over the counter hemeroid cream even without doctors prescription. You can buy hemeroid creams intended to stop the itching and offers some hemeroid relief. This hemeroid cream are usually based on hydrocortisone which work well against itching but should be used for a limited time only to avoid skin irritation. However, try to avoid anti-itching hemeroid cream or lotions with an ingredient that has "-caine" in its name. These products have a local anesthetic in them and, if used too often, can cause further irritation.

But you have to be very careful on applying hemeroid cream because our body easily absorbs creams the most and the fastest via the anus. Therefore, it is important that you first apply hemeroid cream which is a weaker type. However if the hemeroid cream used didn't offerr relief after a period of three days then you can work your way up to a stronger type of hemeroid cream, and again after three days if still does not work.

Another problem with stronger type of hemeroid cream is that it can ruin your skin around the anus causing skin eczema and may bring other more serious complications. This problem is usually caused by overdosing on with hemeroid cream by using the hemeroid cream for more than seven days. Our anal area prefers to be dry to avoid irritation and because it is a very sensitive area, it can develop allergies to some preparations especially if done with dirty hands or untrimmed nails.

In addition to hemeroid cream medications, certain lifestyle measures can help you feel better and even prevent the recurrence of your hemeroids by taking warm baths regularly, regular exercise, adding fibrous food in your diet, and increasing the intake of water atleast 6-8 glasses a day and cleaning your rectal area with the use moisten pads or toilet tissue.

And if your hemeroids does not respond to hemeroid creams and other hemeroid home remedies and reatment, doctors may recommend rubber band litigation, sclerotherapy, surgery, and stapling for cases wherein the hemeroids are too painful to bear or are persistently swelling and worst, bleeding.
