Can changing my diet cure my minor external hemorrhoids?

hey guys, ive got minor external hemorrhoids and the only symptoms are it just puffed up a bit and it itches pretty bad. This is my second day having them. I was wondering if this will go away for good, if i just use ointment and change my diet, as in drink alot of water, and eat alot of fibers. will it go away if i only change my diet and not give too much pressure while using the toilet?

I've tried every diet known to mankind but nothing worked as good as colon cleanse. I appreciate they say that pills won't work, but they sure worked for me, and they've been showcased on CNN too. There is a free trial happening currently at http://coriws.myslimmingstore.info , why not check it out, what have you got to lose?

Hemorrhoids can cause a lot of discomfort, pain, irritation and scratching. The constant scratching and discomfort can make you irritable and often you make the hemorrhoids worse by scratching constantly. Appropriate hemorrhoids care should be taken, otherwise a mild problem can turn into an extreme one where the treatment and suffering gets more complicated and great. There are various hemorrhoids care methods. They can be preventive, curative and post surgical or post treatment.

Hemorrhoids care and preventive measures

1. Apply affected area with a cold compress directly onto the hemorrhoid. Ask a family member to apply your compress as you lie facedown.

2. Moisten the paper and use it after a bowel movement. The moistened paper is softer then the dry toilet paper.

3. Clean the area well with warm water several times a day.

4. Do not sit for too long as it will make your hemorrhoid worse.

5. Take a Sitz bath 4-5 times a day.

6. Eat fresh vegetables, whole grains and beans. They contain fiber, which helps forms stools and makes larger stools easier to pass.

7. Drink 12 glasses of water a day. This will keep stool loose and easier to pass.

8. Exercise regularly. This will aid your digestion and make moving your bowels less difficult.

9. Do not strain yourself during bowel movements.

10. Don't lift heavy objects that strain the lower body.

11. Buy a doughnut shaped cushion. They are available in pharmacies and medical supply stores and can be useful for hemorrhoid sufferers. Try and sit on it as instructed.

12. Use natural or herbal plant extracts, which aid the natural cure for hemorrhoids

Personally I prefer doing what I can to avoid surgery/chemicals. Of course sometimes you don't have a choice but given a choice I would try everything that I listed above along with a homeopathic solution. Of course not everyone is the same so below are some of the other options out there.

Hemorrhoids care and curative measures

If there is only mild discomfort, the doctor may suggest over-the-counter creams, ointments or pads. These contain witch hazel or a topical anti-inflammatory agent containing hydrocortisone. In combination with daily warm baths, this treatment helps relieve your symptoms. The hemorrhoids may be removed surgically or through other methods in extreme cases.

Three surgical procedures to remove external hemorrhoids are:

a) Laser coagulation- The hemorrhoid is clotted with an electric probe which makes it shrink.

b) Infrared photocoagulation- The hemorrhoid is clotted with infrared light to make it shrink.

c) Hemorrhoidectomy- Complete removal of the hemorrhoid.

Hemorrhoids care and post treatment care

The hemorrhoids care after clinical or surgical treatment includes high fiber diet, drinking lots of water, safe bowel movements, etc. Always take care that the problem does not recur. If there is any discomfort in the region or bleeding or similar problems, get a check up done from your doctor.
