Treatment for inner hemorrhoids is very much the same as for all other types of hemorrhoids, including those which are thrombosed and those which appear outside of the rectum. One of the most common reasons why people get inner hemorrhoids is exertion when on the toilet passing a stool. Very often, the symptoms of inner hemorrhoids include bleeding and unbearable itching and many sufferers are aware of a lump inside the anus. If you have noticed blood and think that you may have hemorrhoids, it is wise to seek confirmation of this from a doctor if you are at all unsure.
The size of the hemorrhoid can often determine the most appropriate treatment. Large inner hemorrhoids can form a lump at the entrance of the anus and are sometimes mistaken for external hemorrhoids.
Conventional treatment for inner hemorrhoids varies and can include injections directly into the hemorrhoid, rubber band litigation, surgery and coagulation. You can also buy various over the counter remedies from pharmacies but I, like many other, have only ever found them useful for helping to relive the symptoms-but they do not make them go away!
What I found really disappointing was that after working myself up to going for surgery as a last resort, I found out that that would almost certainly not be an end to the problem and that the hemorrhoids would simply grow back.
After doing lots of research, it finally dawned on me that if I wanted to be free of hemorrhoids for good, something would have to change as it was my very lifestyle which was causing my hemorrhoids.
I searched high and low for treatment for inner hemorrhoids and came up with some self-help measures which you may also find useful:
* Do not delay passing a stool-go to the toilet whenever you feel the need
* Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time
* Treat diarrhea or constipation promptly as both can aggravate hemorrhoids
* Eat a healthy diet, rich in fresh fruits and vegetables
* Drink lots of water as this helps avoid constipation and keeps the stools soft
* Avoid lifting heavy weights
* Always clean the rectal area thoroughly after defecation
* Do not have too many hot drinks as this can make the bowel sluggish
* Spicy foods can behave as irritants, and can therefore aggravate existing hemorrhoids
