Chili Peppers

It has been found that when you eat a lot of chili peppers that you can get a burning sensation in the rectum or anus. It is best to avoid eating too many peppers, especially if you have an advance case of hemorrhoids. Peppers are actually good for blood circulation and for healing ulcers. It is always the excess that creates problems in your body.

Here are some additional foods to avoid, which cause constipation.

• Coffee

• Alcohol

• Bad Fats

• Animal products

• Red meat

Foods you should be eating to help relieve hemorrhoids

A high fiber diet obtained from raw fruits and vegetables is what you need to eat for eliminating and for preventing constipation.  When you don’t have constipation, you won’t have hemorrhoids.

The amount of fiber you should be eating is 25 35 grams per day.  Most people only eat about 8 – 12 grams per day.

If you have not been eating a lot of fiber, you need to add fiber slowly to your diet, especially if you add it by using bran. Increase your use of bran or other bran cereals over a couple of weeks.

If you add fiber to your diet with fruits and vegetables, you can add them freely without much problem. However, since your stomach will not be use to it, you may experience more gas for a week or two.  You can compensate for this by taking digestive enzymes to help you digest the extra produce.

The following list of juices and fruits are good for helping cure or relieve Hemorrhoids.

Juices

Juices are good for hemorrhoids but especially dark berry juices mixed with equal parts of apple juice. The dark berry juices to use are, Cherries, blackberries, blueberries. These berries contain “anthocyanins” and “proanthocyanidins” which reduce hemorrhoidal pain and Swelling by toning and strengthening the hemorrhoid veins.  Drink at least one glass of this juice mixture each day.

Cantaloupe

Cantaloupes are one of the best foods you can eat.  It has a

good source of vitamins and minerals.  It has a high beta-carotene

level and has anti-clogging properties.

Red and Black Currant Berries

Currants are high in Vitamin C, rutin, and minerals. This

makes their juice valuable in clearing hemorrhoids. The also

have a small amount of the fatty acid GLA, which produce

prostaglandin that control body pain.

This juice is also good for cleansing the liver and blood.

Good liver function is necessary for maintaining a healthy

colon, rectum and anus.

Drink 1 –2 glasses a day of red or black currant berries.

Pomegranate Juice

Although pomegranate juice may be hard to find, it is quite

useful in reducing hemorrhoids, because of its strong

astringency.  Saturate a cotton ball with pomegranate juice

and push it slightly into your rectum.

If you have pinworms, the tannins in pomegranate juice will

help you get rid of them. You can also drink the juice.

During the summer I have on occasion found pomegranate

juice at a farmers market. It is slightly tart but it is easy to

drink.  However, it’s hard to drink more than a glass full without

getting a stomach upset.

Oranges and bananas

Eat 2-3 oranges and 2 bananas a day. Oranges provide

vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and fiber. Bananas provide

minerals that help to strengthen tissue and have plenty of

fiber.  Bananas can also be steamed to give more relief and even

eliminate hemorrhoids.  Steam two not quite ripe bananas with their peel until they are soft. Eat two in the morning and two in the evening.

Papaya

Papaya is an excellent fruit to eat. It has good mineral

content, fiber, and has enzymes to digest protein.

These are the fruits and juices to use to for relieving hemorrhoids.  Adding more vegetables to your eating habits is also important to get more fiber.  These fruits, juices, and vegetables will help you keep regular and provide pain and inflammation relief for your hemorrhoid symptoms

Excessive straining, rubbing or cleaning the anus may worsen symptoms. In most cases, the symptoms of hemorrhoids will only last a few days. Not every one with hemorrhoids will experience symptoms.

Types of hemorrhoids

The type of hemorrhoid depends on where it occurs. There are two types of hemorrhoids: internal and external.

External hemorrhoids develop around the rim of the anus. External hemorrhoids cause most of the symptoms associated with hemorrhoids (pain, burning, and itching) because the skin around them is very sensitive. If an external hemorrhoid becomes strangulated (cut off from blood supply), a clot can form in it and become an excruciatingly painful thrombosed hemorrhoid. Thrombosis of an external hemorrhoid causes an anal lump that is very painful and often requires medical attention.

Internal hemorrhoids develop inside the passageway of the anus. Internal hemorrhoids are often present without causing any discomfort or even awareness of their presence. Internal hemorrhoids are usually painless, although they sometimes cause discomfort and bleeding if a hard stool rubs against them during a bowel movement. Internal hemorrhoids also may prolapse outside the anus, where they appear as small, grape-like masses. These can be painful. A prolapsed hemorrhoid will go back inside the rectum on its own, or you can gently press it back into the anus with your fingertips.

Internal hemorrhoids are classified by the degree of tissue prolapse into the anal canal:

• First-degree - hemorrhoids that bleed but do not prolapse
• Second-degree - hemorrhoids that prolapse with straining or defecating and retract on their own
• Third-degree - hemorrhoids that prolapse and require manual reduction
• Fourth-degree - hemorrhoids that chronically prolapse and, if reducible, fall out again

Mixed hemorrhoids are confluent internal and external hemorrhoids.

Prevention

You often can prevent hemorrhoids by preventing constipation and straining to have bowel movements. Some of the following diet and lifestyle changes may help you to soften the stool, and avoid the straining that can lead to hemorrhoids:

• Include more fiber in your diet - fresh fruits, leafy vegetables,  and whole-grain breads and cereals are good sources of fiber.
• Drink adequate amounts of fluids - 6 to 8 glasses of water daily.
• Exercise regularly
• Do not strain or sit on the toilet for long periods of time. Straining for more than 5 minutes can be harmful. Try not to stay on the toilet any longer than necessary.
• Use a soothing wipe, such as baby wipes or witch hazel pads, to clean after each bowel movement and to ease the pain.
• If your main job activity is seated, always stand or walk during your breaks. Make it a point to stand and walk at least 5 minutes every hour and try to shift frequently in your chair to avoid direct rectal pressure.
• Avoid heavy lifting, which puts pressure on the anal opening.

Treatment

A number of surgical methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of hemorrhoids:

• Rubber band ligation - A rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum. The band cuts off circulation, and the hemorrhoid withers away within a few days.
• Sclerotherapy is one of the oldest forms of treatment. A chemical solution is injected directly into the hemorrhoid or the area around it. This solution causes a local reaction that interferes with blood flow inside the hemorrhoid, making the hemorrhoid shrink.
• Laser or electro-coagulation techniques - Both techniques use special devices to burn hemorrhoidal tissue.
• Cryotherapy uses cold temperatures to obliterate the veins and cause inflammation and scarring. It is more time consuming, associated with more posttreatment pain, and is less effective than other treatments. Therefore, this procedure is not commonly used.
• Hemorrhoidectomy - Occasionally, extensive or severe internal or external hemorrhoids may require removal by surgery known as hemorrhoidectomy. This is the best method for permanent removal of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidectomy is the treatment for severe third-degree and fourth-degree hemorrhoids.

Sclerotherapy, ligation, and heat coagulation are all good options for the treatment of hemorrhoids.<br><br>
