How do you get rid of hemorrhoid's with out surgery?

Answer 1

As the original article states, increased water intake and increased fiber are critical, especially insoluble fiber, although soluble works as well. WebMD has a good explanation of the differences and the types of food in which they can be found. If you don't have the time or appetite to eat healthy and increase your fiber, you can take supplements in the form of pills or powders. Be aware of those that also include stimulants, and avoid them if you're not suffering a serious bout of constipation.

One thing the article doesn't address is posture when evacuating. The western toilet can be found all over the world, but the locals in most Eastern and Middle-eastern countries squat rather than sit. Sometimes there will be convenient indentations in the floor for your feet, sometimes there will be a wall to rest your elbows. This is a much more anatomically suitable way to go. One doesn't need a squatty (what my friends and I called the bathroom with just a hole in the floor) to squat. It can be done on top of the toilet seat. The only problem is you pretty much have to remove your pants.

In this position it is also possible to apply pressure to the area outside the anus to help massage the waste out, especially if you're constipated. Doing this reduces the need to strain, which causes the ruptures and inflammation to begin with. Don't be embarrassed. There's nothing pleasurable about it except for the relief of not feeling like you need (or you're getting) an episiotomy to take a dump.

Lastly, change your cleansing habits from dry toilet paper to moist towelettes. This is much less harsh on the area. If it is enflamed, you'll want towelettes moistened with witch hazel. At home you can just keep a bottle by the toilet for soaking your wad of toilet paper.
