Treatment of bleeding hemorrhoids

Most often, the blood in the stool or the blood droplets in the underwear will decrease or disappear within a few hours or days. But bleeding hemorrhoids are still uncomfortable, uncomfortable and painful.

The itching can become unbearable. And because of this, you are looking for treatments that can help you reduce your symptoms.

Here are our  tips for speeding up the healing process  of hemorrhoids that continue to bleed:

Drink plenty of water

Adequate water intake helps to excrete and eliminate waste and toxins through the urine. In addition, it will also make the stool softer. This is especially important because hard and dry stools irritate and scratch the hemorrhoid tissue and will thus cause further pain or bleeding.

In addition, water makes your stool move faster through your intestines. This is because it lubricates the intestinal walls.

Because of this, we recommend that you drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. If you are not a big fan of water, you can drink it in natural juice or tea.

Do not include soft drinks, coffee or alcoholic beverages in the calculation.

Avoid constipation

Not being able to go to the toilet and having bleeding hemorrhoids is not a good combination. Your diet should include a good amount of  whole grains, nuts, raisins and green leafy vegetables such as spinach.

This way you will prevent constipation and thus it will be less painful to go to the bathroom.

When hemorrhoids bleed, it is very unfavorable to get constipation. This is because constipation can cause further pressure on the anal canal. This pressure can cause more damage with bleeding hemorrhoids.

Constipation can also be counteracted by drinking enough water and exercising, such as walking.

Do not suppress your desire to use the toilet

Many people think that it is better to hold back their stools or reduce the number of times they use the toilet. The idea is that this helps them heal faster and stop the bleeding. However, this is incorrect.

The reason is simple: when you collect more waste in your body, it is harder to get rid of it without pain or discomfort.

Fewer dobe visits are also not good for your health. This is because you end up keeping toxins inside your body. These can then cause diseases.

Even if you have a lot of pain, you have to be brave and go to the toilet. If you postpone the situation, it will become more uncomfortable and very painful. If you postpone going to the bathroom, it may take longer before you get better. At the same time, it can make you more prone to new bleeding.

Avoid these harmful foods

Salt is one of your worst enemies if you have hemorrhoids. This is because salt can lead to fluid retention.

What is the relationship between hemorrhoids and swelling? Your body swells due to accumulation of water. At the same time, the blood vessels in the anal canal become inflamed. The consequence is bleeding, pain and discomfort when going to the toilet or sitting.

At the same time, we recommend that you also reduce the amount of the following foods in your diet:

• Coffee
• Alcohol
• Chocolate
• Fats
• Sugary foods
• White flour

All of these foods produce harder, drier stools. This is harder to get rid of without pain.

On the other hand, your condition improves if you have a balanced diet. And this is not just when you have bleeding hemorrhoids, but all the time. Your diet should include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Try to make sure that the food you eat includes food from all food groups.

Provide personal hygiene

When hemorrhoids bleed, the possibility of both an infection and a burning sensation increases. Every time you use the toilet, you should wash yourself with cold or lukewarm water.

Do not use toilet paper. This irritates the area and may make the bleeding worse. Avoid leaving dry blood in the area or underwear for a long time.

A good way to keep the area clean is to use a bath you can put your butt in. You just need to immerse the area in a container of hot water. Let the buttocks soak for a few minutes until it relieves the discomfort.

Do not use a towel to dry yourself. This will, like dope paper, irritate the area.

Change your position

Sitting for several hours is not good for hemorrhoids (whether they bleed or not). If your job requires you to sit in front of a computer all day, you can  get up for a few minutes every hour. If you can, walk around a bit, even if it’s right around your desk.

That way, you increase your blood flow. This prevents blood from accumulating in the anal area, which can lead to increased pain and discomfort.

Although it helps to increase blood flow,  we do not recommend heavy exercise. This includes lifting weights, cycling, running, etc. Right now it will be better with more relaxing physical activities. These include yoga and walking.

Use natural treatments

• Aloe vera can be very helpful. Cut one of the plant’s leaves open lengthwise. Remove the spikes and place the inside of the blade on the anus. The jelly should be in contact with the hemorrhoids. After just a few minutes, you can begin to feel the soothing effect of aloe vera.

• Ice cream is another interesting option. It is effective if you have a lot of discomfort or a burning sensation. Do not forget to wrap the ice cube in a cloth. That way, it does not have direct contact with your skin.
• When you lower your buttocks into a bath, you can have in a tablespoon of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt). This helps the wound to heal faster.
