Hemorrhoid Treatment Options - Need Direction?
Surgery is the most severe of approaches, and therefore is recommended to be your last choice when it comes to freeing yourself of hemorrhoids. But if you have been:
a) In pain for longer than 1 week
b) In pain from lots of discomfort
Take my ideas and consider them. This piece presents to you, a thorough explanation on piles and what your options are once the commitment has been made to have an operation.
The Solutions -
Solution/ Information
Rubber Band Ligation: For this operation you are asked to hold your knees on your chest. To begin with, a protoscope will be used to gain entry to the hemorrhoid. Then forceps will be used to wrap the rubber band around the swollen varicose vein. The band causes the hemorrhoid to lessen in size.
Pain Level: 6/10
Time Until Recovery: It takes two to four procedures, done six to eight weeks apart to completely remove the hemorrhoid(s)
Risks: Possible contagions, issues with the band coming off, anal blood loss
Sclerotherapy: In this operation an agent is injected in the swollen varicose vein - often with the aid of ultrasound technology for accuracy. The intention of this treatment is to coagulate the infected vein. A needle or syringle is used to apply a water-based/ foam (respectively) solution to the hemorrhoid.
Pain Level: 4/10
Time To Mend: It will be over in 15/ 30 minutes. Within 3/ 5 weeks the hemorrhoid will close up, reducing in size.
Risks: Skin necrosis. possible allergies, anal bleeding
Cryotherapy:
Extremely cold temperatures of - 196 centigrade are used to preclude bloodflow through the hemorrhoid. It becomes so cold that it's able to break like glass. Cryotherapy gets outstanding feedback from people because it superbly quick and side effects are very rare.
Pain Level: 3/10 - possibly a little tenderness
Time To Heal: Three days to three weeks. Quantity of procedures qualified on how many hemorrhoids you have and how difficult your case is.
Risks: Risks are exceedingly low, however, if a mistake is made liquid nitrogen can be a liability.
Infrared/Light Coagulation: Like cryotherapy this solution is very fast and is generally received well by people. The hemorrhoid is destroyed by a potent laser beam. After the operation, the scar tissue ensures the surrounding veins are held in place.
Pain Level: 3/10 - Dictated on your sensitivity to pain you may feel the slightest twinge or experience a little discomfort.
Time Until Healed: Depends on how many hemorrhoids you have - normally one session per hemorrhoid.
Risks: Accidents are very rare so don't be concerned. Precautions are invariably taken.
Hemorrhoidectomy: This approach is really the last resort because it is the most severe. The next few lines are solely about the hemorrhoidectomy. The reason being, this is the one operation you need a good understanding of Prior to putting yourself forward.
Pain Level: 9/10
Remedial Time: You should be practically healed after two to three weeks.
Risks: Possible infection, pain, bleeding, and an inability to urinate.
What is the Hemorrhoidectomy?
With the right diet and mindset, hemorrhoids can most often be remedied safely and successfully. But...
When hemorrhoids have gotten to the level of persistent bloodloss and acute pain, it's time to take the problem more seriously.
Making use of general anesthetic, the surgery removes 100% of the hemorrhoid in most cases. Subsequently, the new lesion is stitched up to moderate the bloodloss. And finally sutured to link the skin and allow healing to begin. Over the following few weeks healing will take place and the sutures will dissolve away in time.
Once the operation has been carried out your doctor will give you prescription drugs for anguish and most likely helpful ideas on how to naturally help the recovery of your wound.
As In The Following:
- Change your eating habits - Fiber is terribly important, not only after your surgery but much further beyond too. And I recommend drinking 2.5 litres a day (that's what expert nutritionists also suggest).
- Take sitting baths (or special sitz baths) - These are 10 - 15 minute baths taken 2 or 3 times a day or after every BM (bowel movement). Simply pour lukewarm water into your bath and dip your bottom in. Sprinkle salt or baking soda, and essential oils if you get them. This way you can be certain you have kept the area clean and ensure the pain isn't too bad - you may even avert the prescription drugs completely!
Ultimately, the hemorrhoidectomy does create the greatest affliction, and recovery time is the longest. But, it does also award you with the best 'fixitive' solution to never having piles again. I want to make one last comment, however. If you have a sub-par diet AFTER the operation, you give yourself the best chances of suffering once more - no cure is going to help you long-term if your lifestyle works directly against the surgery.
