QuestionI was wondering what can I use to get rid of hemorrhoids. I am not a person who gets them a lot. This is my first time having, brought on by constipation. Can you give me a list of things to use to rid myself of hemorrhoids for good.
AnswerDear T. Michael,
Hemorrhoids are the result of pooled blood encased in a sack usually due to straining, lifting heavy things and constipation.
For a flare up, warm compresses and sitz baths will keep the area clean while providing relief. Witch Hazel and tucks pads offer consideral pain relief and shrink the size of the hemorrhoids.
In order to prevent hemorrhoids, drink at least 8 -10 glasses of water every day, eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and low in processed and fast foods.
Using Fiber-all, Metamucil, or benefiber will keep yourself regular and decrease the need for a stimulant laxative.
