Hemorrhoids is a problem that has become a common occurrence
among the human population. stressful lifestyles and less intake
of fibrous foods has led to the increase in frequency of
hemorrhoids occurrence .the procedure of getting relief from
hemorrhoids depend on the level of complication you have. If the
pain is very nominal you can treat it with over the counter
medications, ointments or pads containing some kind of anti
inflammatory agent along with daily warm baths. But if the pain
is too much of a problem and you are not being able to treat it
with off the counter medications you might need to see a doctor
and might even need a surgery. If there is a blood clot in an
external hemorrhoid it can easily be removed with a simple
incision which provides for instant relief.
Banding Hemorrhoids:
In this method the doctor places one or two rubber bands along
the base of the internal hemorrhoid in order to cut off the
circulation. As a result sooner or later hemorrhoids fall off.
This simple procedure — called rubber band legation — is done in
the doctor's office and is effective for many people.
Sclerotherapy: In
this method a chemical solution is injected into the blood
vessel to shrink the hemorrhoid so that it can easily be removed
after that.
Infrared Light: Here
the doctor uses a 1- or 2-second burst of infrared light which
cuts off circulation to small, bleeding, internal hemorrhoids.
Surgery: If a blood
clot has formed within an external hemorrhoid, your doctor can
easily remove the clot with a simple incision, which may provide
prompt relief.
Other most critical cases when you have very large hemorrhoids
you might need to have a surgery where the doctor removes the
whole tissue in a process called hemorrhoidectomy. Normal this
surgery is done using local anesthetic combined with sedation, a
spinal anesthetic, or general anesthetic. It's normally requires
an outpatient or overnight hospital stay. Though the surgery
might be painful it is the most comprehensive method and
medicines might be used to decrease the pain. |
