Tips for dealing with hemorrhoid

• To whatever degree you are able, take corrective actions as indicated in the above two paragraphs.
• Avoid spicy, highly seasoned foods, for they irritate the inflamed area.
• Avoid sitting or standing for longer periods of time.
• If you must lift something, bend your knees and not your back. Do not hold your breath as you lift.
Instead, take a deep breath and exhale at the moment of lifting. Avoid heavy lifting as much as
possible.
• Do not sit on anything which does not warm up (a rock, steel, the ground) for periods of time.
• Do not forget the high-fiber diet; it, and a proper diet, is crucial to success in avoiding or managing
this problem.
• Use soft toilet paper, and only dab with it. Use only non-perfumed, white toilet paper.
• Do not scratch the area.
• Diarrhea intensifies the problem, so avoid this. For the same reason, avoid constipation.
• Sitz (sitting) baths soothe inflamed tissues and relax spasms of the rectal and anal muscles.
• Apply cold witch hazel tea, to help shrink them.
• In severe cases, take an alternating hot and cold sitz (sitting) bath. Use two large galvanized wash
tubs, propped up at one one end, to make sitting in them more comfortable. Fold a large towel and
place it in the bottom and sides, for comfort. Fill one with hot water (100o F.), the other with tap
water. Sit in the hot, for 5 minutes, and in the cold, for 30 seconds. Spread the buttocks, as you do
this, so the temperature changes will have the best effect on the desired area. Do this 3 times. You
can come back later and do it again as needed.
• An alternate method, to use in less severe cases, is to sit in a bathtub of 10-12 inches of hot
water. Do this 3-5 times a day.
• Cranberry poultices are helpful. Blend a handful, wrap a tablespoonful in cloth, and lay against the
area. Change an hour later, and repeat when you wish.
• Dab lecithin on the area, as you would Vaseline.
• An ice pack to that area may also bring relief.
• Peel a garlic bulb and scrape it, to get the juice, to flow. Then insert it. It will be expelled the next
day during elimination. Do this 3 times a week.
• Cut a piece of aloe vera, about 2½ inches in length, peel, and insert.
• Applications of white oak bark tea or witch hazel will, through astringent action, tend to shrink the
hemorrhoids.
• Medicinal drugs generally contain local anesthetics, but these often irritate the area and delay
healing.
• A 1976 report stated that there was no evidence that any of the ingredients in Preparation H could
reduce inflammation or shrink hemorrhoids.
• Aspirin will intensify the bleeding.
• Prolapsed hemorrhoids can become thrombosed; that is, they can form clots inside them which
prevent their receding. Severe, increased pain indicates this has happened. Go to a physician, to
remove the clot. This is not the same as a hemorrhoidectomy, and is a simple, rapid treatment.
• In case of persistent, severe problems, some may choose to have hemorrhoidectomy done. Find a
physician who has done this and adequately knows what to do.
ENCOURAGEMENT—Bible religion is to be interwoven into everything we do and say. Let others see
Jesus in you. Make His honor first. Show others that the Ten Commandments are the best commands
to be kept in the whole world.
