Treating your hemorrhoids early is important to stop complications developing and internal hemorrhoid treatment is essential because often internal hemorroids can be around quite a while before you see any symptoms.

Many people believe that you “get” hemorrhoids but in fact, we all have hemorrhoids which are described as cushions of congested tissue filled with blood vessels.  It is only when they flare up that they cause us problems.

They can be located in 2 places, either close to the anal opening in which case they are classed as external hemorrhoids, or higher in the anal canal or lower rectum and classed as internal hemorrhoids. Sometimes, hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus and are known as prolapsing hemorrhoids.

Always have bleeding checked by a medical professional

Internal hemorroids are not usually painful as they are inside the rectum but over time they can start to bleed, caused by irritating the hemoroids with bowel movements and each visit to the bathroom can be distressing when you notice blood on the toilet paper or in the pan.

You should never assume that rectal bleeding is from hemorrhoids but because hemorrhoids are an embarrassing complaint, internal hemorrhoid treatment usually starts at home.  Getting relief from the burning and itching caused when having a bowel movement becomes a priority.

There are common natural ways of treatment and lifestyle changes that benefit both types of hemorrhoids but because internal hemorrhoids are inside the rectum where you can’t get at them, the things that bring you relief from these symptoms of hemroids are not always the same as what you can do to help your external hemorrhoids.

Here are a couple of tips on treatment for internal hemorrhoids that should help with relieving some of your discomfort.

1 - Soak In The Bath – Top of the list which most experts would agree with is a warm bath.  Fill a bath with warm water and relax into it.  Sitting with your knees raised will allow maximum exposure of the anal area to the warm water. You can also gently ease your cheeks apart.  This helps to ease any pain or itching you have and also helps to shrink swollen veins.  Try and have at least one bath daily.  It is possible to buy what is known as a “sitz bath” – which is more like a basin and is designed solely for sitting in. Filling this is faster and more convenient than filling a regular bath and the chances are you will use it more. Medical supply stores will almost always have them in stock.

2 - Suppository – The use of a suppository as an internal hemorrhoid treatment to moisturize the anal area will help greatly with bowel movements and can bring some welcome relief.  There are many on the market with many different ingredients.  Calmol 4 has 2 active ingredients, cocoa butter and zinc oxide which gives temporary relief from burning, irritation and itching. It is also the main ingredient in most creams for nappy rash. The use of a suppository should be a temporary measure as to avoid a return of hemorrhoids, dietary changes are necessary.

3 – The Need To Go – When you feel the need for a bowel movement – go immediately!  Don’t wait until it is more convenient. Stool can back up, leading to increased pressure and straining. Setting aside a particular time each day to sit on the toilet for a few minutes is a good practice that can help with regulating your bowels.
