2011 Top Hemorrhoid Treatment

Trying to get rid of hemorrhoids? Let us help. MyHemorrhoids.org is aiming to be the #1 online resource for hemorrhoids. Our research team is devoted to discovering the most effective cures and presenting them to you in a clear, easily accessible format.

What The Public Thinks
In 2011 we tapped into that network of patients to discover what they thought was the most popular and effective treatment of the year. After months of compiling and analyzing consumer reviews, we awarded our 2011 Consumers’ Choice Award for Top Hemorrhoid Treatment to HemRid (www.hemrid.com).

HemRid is an herbal remedy taken in capsule form that that offers effective treatment for patients with hemorrhoids ranging from mild to severe. Its main ingredients are witch hazel, horse chestnut, and bilberry. Among the users that contributed feedback to our review board, 93% experienced a complete recovery from hemorrhoids within eight days of beginning the treatment. In many cases, HemRid made the difference between surgery and natural recovery. With such a high success-rate and strong consumer feedback, we are confident in naming HemRid as the #1 hemorrhoid treatment for 2011.

It is important for anyone suffering from hemorrhoids to understand that there are an incredible number of treatments available. It is often the case that while one of these treatments will be effective for a particular group of people, that same treatment will have no effect with another group. Acupuncture is a prime example of this situation, exhibiting a clear division between the people it works for and the people it doesn’t work for. Conversely, there are certain treatments that prove to be effective for the majority of their users. Within this narrow selection of treatments, our team focuses on those that have been proven through consumer feedback to offer complete recovery from hemorrhoids.

Now that we’ve established what consumers consider to be the most effective treatment, we’ll examine some simple home remedies that can be combined with over the counter products to provide relief from symptoms as well as a long-lasting recovery. It should be noted that combining these remedies with a proven treatment like HemRid could drastically decrease recovery times.

One of the most important elements in achieving success with home remedies is to keep the affected area clean at all times. This can be accomplished by rinsing the area after bowel movements, patting dry with baby wipes or lotion enriched tissues, and applying cornstarch or baby powder to absorb any residual moisture. Avoid tissues that are dyed or scented as these additives can lead to irritation, pain, and in some cases, infection. Once the area is clean and dry, it’s time to apply a salve or cream. The top three topical ointments for hemorrhoids include: vitamin E oil, aloe vera gel, and cortisone cream. While the cortisone creams will provide specific instructions on use, the vitamin E capsules and aloe vera gel may not. To use the vitamin E capsules, simply puncture a hole in one end with a needle or pin and squeeze the contents out around the anal area. Spread the oil evenly to complete the process. Application of the aloe gel is similar, using your fingers to apply a healthy amount to the anal region.

Sitz baths are another valuable tool in the fight against hemorrhoids. Not only will the cool water soothe the inflamed veins, it will also reduce swelling. For added relief, try adding a splash of witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to the Sitz bath. These ingredients will numb pain and aid in disinfection.

Farewell, Hemorrhoids
Armed with this knowledge of the most effective treatment, the best cleaning procedures, and the most popular topical ointments, any patient should be able to rid himself of hemorrhoids quickly and easily. However, should these tools not result in relief from hemorrhoid symptoms within a few days, it might be wise to consult a physician as a more serious condition may be present.
