Figuring out the most effective hemorrhoid treatment becomes an urgent questions when you are experiencing this condition. While uncomfortable and painful, it is not usually very serious. While in some cases, you have to get medical attention for hemorrhoids, very often you can find relief by using some very simple methods you can do at home. Below we will discuss some treatment options that may help with your hemorrhoids.

While it's fine to maybe first try the typical over the counter (OTC) hemorrhoids medications; however if you don't find good relief you really should have a talk with your family doctor. You will most likely find that if you do get a prescription drug for your condition, you will experience fairly fast results in a couple days. Some people will go to their doctors as soon as they have a problem, and are glad to take a prescribed medicine, while others will only go to the doctor if they are in unbearable pain.

Of course if that is not the case, then it seems you may want to try an OTC medication or something from natural medicine. Another method for helping hemorrhoids is to apply an ice pack to the anal area. This is something you will have to do several times every day for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. This operates by using the same concept as putting the ice on an external wound because hemorrhoids are a type of inflammation that can be made to feel better by applying a cold pack. One strategy to use is to put this ice in a small zip lock bag. This is really a recommended treatment for those that have hemorrhoids that really hurt and are swollen because this method can reduce the swelling and pain very quickly.

Applying an ice pack to your anal area is another effective way to treat hemorrhoids. This is something you will have to do several times every day for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. This operates by using the same concept as putting the ice on an external wound because hemorrhoids are a type of inflammation that can be made to feel better by applying a cold pack. One way to do this is to place the ice in a small zip lock bag. This is especially recommended if you have very painful hemorrhoids, as it can reduce the pain and swelling very fast.

One treatment that will probably be saved for the very last effort is laser treatment. However only those with extremelly severe hemorrhoids are likely candidates for lasers. Even though this is a surgical procedure, it can be done in the doctor's office and only takes about fifteen minutes, and you then need a full day to recover. This is a highly effective treatment, but this is an advanced medical procedure, so it's expensive, though if you have a good insurance policy this will probably cover it. Still, doctors will not recommend laser treatment for hemorrhoids until all other options have been tried.

Until you figure out the best treatment for your hemorrhoids, you may have to try several different options. By exercising regularly, trying various treatments, and paying attention to your diet you should be able to clear up your hemorrhoids. You can likely get rid of your hemorrhoids by following the above tips, allowing you to stop worrying and enjoy your life.
