Also some of the fruits like banana, apple, and straw berry give better results to cure hemmroids. Herbs are very commonly used to cure hemmroids, herbs like green tea, calendula and so on.

• *** The first and most common way to cure hemmroids flare up is, of course, a sitz bath. What is a sitz bath? A sitz bath is where the hemmroid sufferer fills either a small pan or their bathtub with warm water. The water must always be warm as hot water may aggravate the already irritated skin around the hemmroid. After sitting in the water for between 15 and 20 minutes, letting the infected area soak in the water, get out of the water and gently dab the area dry with a warm cloth. Be sure to dab the area and not wipe, as wiping will only aggravate the areas. In the worst of cases, you could aggravate the area to the point where you draw blood.
• *** Another method on how to cure hemmroids quickly is through the use of medicated ointments and creams. Many hemmroid creams are readily available over the counter at your nearest pharmacy, though in rare cases you can have one prescribed by a physician. Many of these ointments have anesthetics in them to help quicken the soothing of the affected area. The drawback to this technique, however, is that many people complain of the mess that is associated with the application of the cream. Because of the nature of applying the cream, it is not always easy to find the infected areas, in addition to the mess of simply having the cream on your fingers. Another drawback to this method of treatment is in the fact that the actual application of the cream can be a painful, slow process.
• *** A third option, one that many with hemmroids tend to avoid, is to undergo a surgical procedure to remove and cure hemmroids. More often than not, the procedure that people undergo is a simple process called rubber band ligation. The process is very simple. After having the hemmroid or hemmroids examined by a doctor, the physician will wrap a small rubber band around the swollen husk of skin. The rubber band then acts as a device that strangles the husk, cutting off air flow and eventually killing the hemmroid. The dead mass is then removed, along with the band, during normal bowel movements.

Another thing you should do after you know how to cure hemmroid is for you to know how can you prevent your hemmroid. As the saying says, still prevention is better that cure.

To help prevent hemmroids or hemmroidal flare-ups:

• * Eat high-fiber foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and grains. Doing so softens the stool and increases its bulk, which will help lessen the straining that can cause hemmroids or worsen symptoms from existing hemmroids.
• * Drink plenty of liquids. The exact amount of water and other fluids you should drink each day varies and depends on your age, sex, health, activity level and other factors.
• * Consider fiber supplements. Over-the-counter hemmroid treatment products such as Metamucil and Citrucel can help keep stools soft and regular. Check with your doctor about using stool softeners. If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, fiber supplements can cause constipation or make constipation worse that can also worsen your hemmroid. Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
• * Exercise. Stay active to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting, and to help prevent constipation. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight that may be contributing to your hemmroids.
• * Avoid long periods of standing or sitting. Sitting too long, particularly sitting on the toilet for long periods, can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus resulting to formation of hemmroids.
• * Don't strain. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
• * Go as soon as you feel the urge. If you wait to pass a bowel movement and the urge goes away, your stool could become dry and be harder to pass.

Treating hemmroids is the main objective to be achieve by sufferers of hemmroids especially at early stage of hemmroid formation because if left untreated and once they already have hemmroids, they’re likely to always have them -- this is because swelling weakens the vein walls and thus makes them prone to future swelling.

Everyone can get hemmroids. In fact, more than half of the population develops hemmroids by the age of 50. And these hemmroids are likely caused by straining on the toilet. Other causes include heredity, aging, chronic constipation, bouts of diarrhea, anal sex or spending too much time reading on the toilet.

But before treating your hemmroids, be sure also that what your are suffering is really a hemmroid problem. Because the presence of blood in the stool can be indicative of other digestive disorders, including colorectal cancer other than hemmroid so thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis is very important. Diagnosing hemmroids may include:

• * physical examination - to examine the anus and rectum and look for swollen blood vessels that indicate hemmroid• digital rectum examination (DRE) - the physical inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to check for abnormalities causing hemmroids.
• * anoscopy - a hollow, lighted tube useful for viewing internal hemmroids is inserted into the anus.
• * proctoscopy - a lighted tube, which allows the physician to completely examine the entire rectum, is inserted into the anus.
• * sigmoidoscopy - a diagnostic procedure that allows the physician to examine the inside of a portion of the large intestine, and is helpful in identifying the causes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, abnormal growths, and bleeding. A short, flexible, lighted tube, called a sigmoidoscope, is inserted into the intestine through the rectum. The scope blows air into the intestine to inflate it and make viewing the inside easier.
• * colonoscopy - a procedure that allows the physician to view the entire length of the large intestine, and can often help identify abnormal growths, inflamed tissue, ulcers, and bleeding. It involves inserting a colonoscope, a long, flexible, lighted tube, in through the rectum up into the colon. The colonoscope allows the physician to see the lining of the colon, remove tissue for further examination, and possibly treat some problems that are discovered aside from the formation of hemmroids.

Internal hemmroids usually do not cause much pain and rarely itch while external hemmroids are the type of hemmroid that tends to cause burning, itching, and/or pain. Symptoms of hemmroid usually include blood in the stool, in the toilet, or on bath tissue after using the bathroom, or a vague pain in the anus after defecating. Also, itching, burning, or pain in the region may indicate a case of hemmroids.

Surgical or other procedures

If a blood clot has formed within an external hemmroid, your doctor can easily remove the clot with a simple incision, which may provide prompt relief. But for persistent bleeding or painful hemmroids, your doctor may recommend these following hemmroid treatments:

• Rubber band ligation. Your doctor places one or two tiny rubber bands around the base of an internal hemmroid to cut off its blood circulation and the hemmroid falls off. This simple procedure - called rubber band ligation - is done in the doctor's office and is effective hemmroid treatment for many people. To remove a hemmroid using rubber band ligation, your doctor inserts the ligator through a scope in the anal canal, grasping the hemmroid with forceps. Sliding the ligator's cylinder upward releases rubber bands around the base of the hemmroid. Rubber bands cut off the hemmroid's blood supply, causing it to wither and drop off.

• Sclerotherapy. In this procedure, your doctor injects a chemical solution around the blood vessel to shrink the hemmroid.

• Infrared light. A one- or two-second burst of infrared light cuts off circulation to small, bleeding, internal hemmroids.

• Surgery. If other procedures haven't been successful or if you have large hemmroids, your doctor can remove tissue in a procedure called hemmroidectomy. The surgery is done with either a local anesthetic combined with sedation, a spinal anesthetic, or a general anesthetic. Hemmroid surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis or you may require an overnight hospital stay. While you may experience discomfort after the procedure, medications can be used to relieve your pain. Soaking in a warm bath also can ease your discomfort.

• Stapling. This procedure, which blocks blood flow to hemmroidal tissue, is a relatively new hemmroid treatment technique. While some experts point out that this procedure involves less pain than surgery and allows an earlier return to work, there are drawbacks as well. Stapling has been associated with a greater risk of hemmroidal recurrence and prolapse compared with open surgery. Talk with your doctor about what might be the best hemmroid treatment option for you.

You can also take the following steps to reduce your risk of having hemmroids thus avoiding unnecessary and time consuming hemmroid treatments. Try follow these easy steps:

• Eat more fiber and drink plenty of fluids. This will help soften stools and promote regular elimination, which reduces straining thus avoiding the causes of such hemmroid.

• Wipe gently with soft, white unperfumed tissue. This helps keep the area clean to avoid irritation.

• Exercise regularly; which aids digestion and improves circulation.

Take note that complications of untreated hemmroid are - bleeding, infection, prolapse, strangulation, necrosis and gangrene. Painful bleeding usually indicates startup of complications.
