Hemorrhoid
What is hemorrhoid? Hemorrhoid is defined as a varicose dilatation of a vein of the superior or inferior hemorrhoidal plexus by Dorland Medical Dictionary. Not everyone who has hemorrhoids will have symptoms. Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids usually include bright-red blood covering the stool, on the toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl. External hemorrhoid symptoms may include painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus that results when a blood clot forms.
In most cases, hemorrhoid treatment is focused on:
1. Relieving hemorroid symptoms
2. Relieving pressure by increasing fiber and fluids
3. Modifying bowel habits.
In rare cases, when this conservative treatment is not successful, a hemorrhoid surgery or prosedure may be recommended.
In the treatment of hemorrhoid symptom of itching and pain, a cold pack may applied to the affected area when hemorrhoid symptoms first appear. Tub baths three or four times a day in plain, hot water for about 20 to 30 minutes. Creams or suppositories can be used to relieve itching and pain. Some of these medicines also have an anesthetic that can provide some pain relief.

While surgery, prescription and over the counter medication can bring relief from hemorrhoids, don’t forget that lifestyle, in many cases is the root cause of the problem.
Without addressing the cause no long term cure is possible.
