Get Help For Your Hemorrhoids

Published on by Western Herbal and Nutrition, IncLeave a comment

There are several options for treating hemorrhoids based on the severity of the condition and your budget. If you have been diagnosed with hemorrhoids, you doctor may recommend one of the following outpatient surgery options:

  • Sclerotherapy
  • Rubber Band Ligation
  • Hemorrhoidecotomy
  • Over the counter options

Each procedure has advantages and disadvantages that may or may not be covered by your health insurance.

Rubber Band Ligation

A very common outpatient procedure for treating minor cases of hemorrhoids. Your doctor or specialist will place a small elastic band around the base of the hemorrhoid. This cuts off the blood flow and helps shrink the hemorrhoid. The process may be repeated several times over a six to eight week period. Side effects can include immediate pain or tightness, bleeding or infection.

Sclerotherapy

A procedure for smaller or less severe cases of hemorrhoids that may not be treatable by Rubber Band Ligation. Your doctor will inject a hardening agent at the site. This will reduce the blood flow and ease the condition. Acute pain is possible if the injection is not done at the appropriate location

Hemorrhoidectomy

In some severe cases of hemorrhoids, your doctor may recommend surgical removal. This procedure does not typically require a hospital stay, but does require anesthesia, painkillers and a 7 to 10 day recovery period before you can get back to work.

Over the Counter Products

For many, the cost and potential side effects of these procedures is daunting and in many cases unnecessary. There are several hemorrhoid creams and suppositories available over the counter, but these products usually only address the symptoms and not the cause.

Hem-Relief for Hemorrhoids

For those looking for an inexpensive option that addresses both the cause and symptoms, we highly recommend a natural dietary supplement. Hem-Relief is a popular option that is scientifically formulated to help relieve both internal and external hemorrhoid flare-ups. Prepared from premium quality natural ingredients containing a full biochemical spectrum that insures the highest potency for effectiveness. Read More

Why Topical Remedies Can’t Solve Hemorrhoids

Published on by Western Herbal and Nutrition, IncLeave a comment

Topical solutions by and large are ineffective for treating Haemorrhoids. The best of creams or ointments may bring some temporary relief or easing of symptoms, while some may actually make matters worse. Suppositories, medicated wipes, and even cryogenic devices may be well intended but often end up irritating this most delicate tissue. The reason is quite simple; haemorrhoids are not just a topical problem.

Many doctors treat the issue as if it was just a slight affliction that can be chased away with some steroid based cream or use of suppositories. Worse still, many doctors seem to dismiss how exceedingly painful and debilitating haemorrhoids (piles) can be. Very likely you may have discovered all this already for yourself. You would not expect a cream to completely solve Arthritic complaints, nor should you expect a cream or topical application to have long term merit for solving haemorrhoids, whether they be internal or external.

Pregnant women may suffer from hemorrhoids.

What causes hemorrhoids?

Published on by Western Herbal and Nutrition, IncLeave a comment

Pregnant women may suffer from hemorrhoids.Hemorrhoids are a painful affliction that many Americans suffer from. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, 75 percent of Americans have hemorrhoids at some point in their lifetime. As we get older, we are more likely to have to deal with these painful varicose veins. Sometimes they go away on their own, but other times, hemorrhoids can require the use of a hemorrhoids natural treatment. These can range from diet changes to including the herbal supplement Hem-Relief in your daily routine.

So, what causes the painful itching associated with hemorrhoids? There are actually many factors that may be at play. It’s not uncommon for pregnant women to develop hemorrhoids. This is due to the uterus putting pressure on different parts of the body. As the blood flow slows, veins may become swollen. Another cause of hemorrhoids during pregnancy is the body’s increase of a hormone called progesterone. This allows veins to relax, which can also lead to swelling. Pregnant women often deal with constipation as well, which can act as a trigger for hemorrhoids.

If you have a diet that is low in fiber, you may have frequent hemorrhoid issues. Since this often results in constipation, you might be straining during bowel movements. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are all great sources of fiber to incorporate into your diet. You will also want to make sure that you are consuming at least eight glasses of fluids a day to avoid sitting on the toilet for long periods of time – another hemorrhoid trigger. Certain medical conditions such as liver disease and obesity can also result in lingering symptoms.

Have you suffered from a hemorrhoid in the past? Are you currently suffering? Stop the pain that just won’t go away without a surgical procedure. In order to strengthen the damaged tissue, use Hem-Relief as a natural remedy for your pains. You will find that this is useful for both internal and external hemorrhoids.

Fiber can help alleviate and prevent hemorrhoid outbreaks.

Fiber’s role in hemorrhoids treatment and prevention

Published on by Western Herbal and Nutrition, IncLeave a comment

Fiber can help alleviate and prevent hemorrhoid outbreaks.Hemorrhoids are painful, inconvenient and embarrassing – there’s no beating around the bush on this sensitive topic. This malady is bad enough in and of itself, but it also suggests larger health problems related to the digestive system and overall health. If you suffer from this problem, you may be in search of hemorrhoids treatment to alleviate your pain and stress. However, prevention is key in pinpointing the true reason behind your condition. One of the main culprits? A lack of dietary fiber.

Fiber’s role in digestion
Dietary fiber is a digestive star. As a preventer of constipation, fiber allows your body to go through the movements of digestion seamlessly.

According to the Mayo Clinic, dietary fiber doesn’t break down in the body like fat, carbs or proteins do. Instead, it passes through your body, and takes waste along with it. Fiber’s passage through the digestive system promotes healthy and regular bowel movements, relieves constipation and helps you keep a healthy body weight.

When you don’t get enough dietary fiber, it can be hard for your body to pass waste through your stomach and intestines. This often results in constipation, stomach issues and hemorrhoids, as well as obesity (which can make hemorrhoids even worse!).

Other health benefits of fiber include lower cholesterol levels, stabilized blood sugar and a “full” feeling, which can curb the tendency to overeat.

How to get fiber into your diet
Some of the planet’s most delicious foods contain high levels of dietary fiber. Fruits and vegetables are a fabulous source of this necessary component of a healthy diet, so snack away on apples, carrots, broccoli, berries and other delicious plants. Health and unprocessed whole grains like oatmeal, barley and whole grain bread are also fantastic sources of fiber.

To prevent hemorrhoids, make sure you are getting your daily recommended intake of fiber. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, men between the ages of 18 and 50 should get about 38 grams of fiber per day. Women of the same age group should get about 25 grams of fiber per day. Younger men and women under the age of 18 should get slightly more fiber than their grown-up counterparts, and those over the age of 70 can get away with consuming slightly less.

Western herbal offers a variety of products for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids. This painful condition is far from inevitable, so invest in your own quality of life by tackling hemorrhoids head-on and eating a diet rich in dietary fiber.

Hemorrhoids search for natural treatments

Hemorrhoids: top trending search for Google

Published on by Western Herbal and Nutrition, IncLeave a comment

Hemorrhoids search for natural treatmentsNowadays, it’s common for people to do an Internet search to learn more about medical conditions, symptoms and possible natural treatments.

A consumer report from the Food and Drug Administration said that in Google’s yearly roundup of popular search words, hemorrhoids were among the top trending health issues in the United States in 2012.

According to LiveScience, Google search data found that interest in searching “hemorrhoids” more than doubled between 2008 and 2013. The term was searched approximately 40,000 a week between 2004 and 2008, the number rose in the middle of 2008 to about 80,000 times weekly. In some weeks in 2013, the search reaches almost 120,000 times.

“My first guess would be that people are becoming more comfortable with the Internet, and they are going to look up more and more things, and hemorrhoids are a common condition,” Dr. Jesse Moore, attending surgeon at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, told LiveScience.

The National Institutes of Health explains that hemorrhoids are swollen, inflamed veins in the anus or lower part of the rectum, and they affect 75 percent of people at some point throughout their life, reported USA Today.

People may be embarrassed to ask their doctors about hemorrhoids
“One of the misconceptions about hemorrhoids is that ‘nobody has it but me,'” Moore told LiveScience. “Actually, everybody has hemorrhoids, but not everybody has symptoms of hemorrhoids.”

ABC News said that doctors believe the increase in searching Google for hemorrhoids could be because people would rather look online than ask a doctor about the condition.

“I’m not exactly surprised that it is something people would rather Google as opposed to discuss it with their doctors,” Dr. Patrick Okolo, chief of endoscopy at Johns Hopkins Hospital, told ABC News. “Even though it is very common and affects anywhere from 14 to 20 million Americans, most people do not discuss it with their doctors for those reasons.”

When too much pressure is put on the blood vessels, hemorrhoids can become swollen or inflamed, leading to symptoms like bleeding or pain. Heavy lifting, pregnancy, obesity and long hours of sitting can cause symptomatic hemorrhoids.

Elizabeth Ward, registered dietician, told USA Today that most people don’t get enough fiber in their diets, which can lead to constipation and cause symptoms.

“When it comes to prevention, think fiber and fluid, but make sure to increase both of these together,” Heather Mangieri, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told USA Today. “Water is essential if you’re eating a higher-fiber diet. And the fact that they can be painful to sit on might be a good thing, since movement is another important prescription for prevention and treatment.”

Treating hemorrhoids
If people are suffering from symptomatic hemorrhoids and want a natural hemorrhoid remedy, they can use Western Herbal and Nutrition’s Hem Relief, which is an effective, holistic treatment option for both internal and external hemorrhoids.
