Re: Anyone know how to get rid of external hemroids?

I can tell you the only way to rid yourself of hemorrhoids is surgery. It doesn't take a mensa to figure out that the cure probably is worse than the problem. It's not going to be a fun time after having someone cut those veins out to go to the bathroom for quite awhile.

I do have a remedy that does not involve digesting pills into your system that could make matters worse or cutting your body up and risking infection.

The first thing you need to do is figure out what caused the flair up. For most people who have this problem it is a wee bit too much alcohol and/or some form of fitness. Any type of activity that makes you dehydrate (take water out of) the body. Your body reacts to this by sending more acid to break down your food. You walk into the bathroom and you have a burning sensation upon relieving yourself. Some people end up with loose stools while others are still constipated. The more you venture to the bathroom the worse it gets. Your either pushing too hard because you're constipated or this stuff is ripping out of you. Either way you have the same result. The pain increases and the blood in those veins is literally drying up and adding to the pain caused by the excess acid.

So, the first thing you want to do is start drinking water and do it slowly. If you gulp down 8 ounces of water your just going to pee out most of it. Sip it. This will reintroduce fluid into the body and assist in digesting your food.

Go to the local drug store and ask for a sitz bath. If someone is nosey and asks why just tell them your wife just had a baby. Most women always use a sitz bath after delivery. It looks a bit like a derby. Now here is what you do...After you've relieved yourself put very warm water in the sitz bath. Not so hot that you burn yourself but it should be a little uncomfortable. Put the toilet seat up and place the sitz bath on the toilet itself (it should come with instructions). Make sure you have a towel within reach. Gently sit down on it and stay there for 5 minutes. At the 4 minute mark reach in the bath with your hand and clean yourself off. At 5 minutes get up and dry yourself off and thoroughly wash your hands. Now grab a dry face cloth and go to the fridge and get 2 ice cubes and place them in the cloth. Go to your room and place the cloth with the 2 ice cubes in it right up against your anus. Yes, it's going to be uncomfortable, deal with it. Hold the cloth in there for 5 minutes. Under no circumstances should you ever place ice directly on the body. Now repeat the procedure 3 more times until you done a total of 4, 20 minutes on the sitz bath and 20 minutes with ice. At the end of the first day you will feel a dramatic result. Keep doing this until everything is totally healed. It normally takes about a day and a half and don't forget to keep drinking the water. Tweet
