Thrombosed Hemorrhoids

Thrombosed hemorrhoids occur when the veins in the rectum and anal areas become swollen and start to rise and appear in a lump form. The pressure can come from all types of activities and experiences. The blood vessels can begin to split apart causing blood to build up in the lumps and this develops pain and discomfort. The pain can become unbearable and the thrombosed hemroids can flare up and prevent an individual from doing daily activities or going to work.

Thrombosed hemorrhoids are very easy to feel and see and they can be hard or soft. The condition can worsen over time if they are not treated. The blue and green veins become restricted and they can become redder over time.  The most common reasons for thrombosed hemorrhoids are heavy lifting, pregnancy and during and after a bowel movement.

The best way to treat thrombosed hemorrhoids is by eliminating the blood clots in the veins. It can happen naturally at times and the blood clots can loosen up themselves. If they do not disappear over this time then a visit to the doctor should be organized. A doctor can perform a procedure where they will cut above the hemorrhoid area and squeeze the blood clot out. It is better to have this procedure performed as soon as you are experiencing the symptoms of thrombosed hemorrhoids.
There are also alternative treatments for thrombosed hemroids. These natural remedies can be performed at home and in your own private time. Try taking warm baths for instant pain relief. Lotions and creams can help diminish the pain and help get rid of the inflamed hemorrhoid. Inflamed hemorrhoids can become even more painful when rubbed or scratched. It is a good idea to wear loose clothing during this time. Individuals can prevent this condition by eating a healthy diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. They can also help themselves by drinking more water to prevent build up in the bowel, therefore leading to constipation.

Constipation can lead to the development of a thrombosed hemorrhoid. It can add strain to the bowel and increase the pressure in the anal canal. Some other ways to ease the pain of this condition can be the use of ice to numb the area, or a cold compress. Try placing some witch hazel onto the cold compress. This product is primarily used for sprains, bruises, cuts, and general healing. It is herbal based remedy that has been used for years. You can also try putting Aloe Vera on the affected areas for a cooling feeling and extra pain relief.

If you try all of these methods and you are in incredible pain still, you should talk to a health care professional. They will be able to direct you to the right person for treatment and help. Normally, hemorrhoids do not last for a long period of time, but there have been cases where they have lasted up until three to four months. If you are having a lot of concerns then check with your doctor.
