Hemorrhoid Treatment

I asked my gynecologist about a hemorrhoid label had in a year, and said she will not disappear by itself and the only way to get rid of it is surgery. Is this true? It is not painful, but I feel self-conscious about it. Your doctor is right, should be removed only by a type of surgery, but why be ashamed? Any man or your husband or boyfriend say anything? Even if they did, as normal and will not cause problems, why bother? There are several treatment options available for tags or inflammation of hemorrhoids, not all of them surgically. First, you can try some things myself - probiotic foods (like yogurt), laxatives (not laxatives), go to the wet wipes (unscented baby wipes) instead of toilet paper, fibers, increase the amount of water you drink, bath with Epsom salts Sitting. Avoid using aspirin to relieve pain. If these simple measures do not help, the next step is to consult a doctor about alternatives. Do not use steroid creams or pads / towels, without talking to your doctor - things like cortisone can weaken skin and make the worst hemorrhoids infrared coagulation, often erroneously called "laser" is a nonsurgical treatment procedures. Basically, a doctor inserts a small probe near the bottom of the hemorrhoid tissue inflammation and infrared light used to form a clot. The blood clot cuts blood flow to the tumor, and it narrows. The advantages are that it is relatively easy (done in the office, without anesthesia, as is nervous about the pain - you just feel a little pressure) and very little recovery time or restrictions on activity. The disadvantages are that it usually takes between 5 and 10 treatments 3-5 weeks apart, and you can not see an improvement with the first 1 or 2 treatments. It is also effective in some cases when combined with drug therapy or probiotics used to normalize bowel. It does not work well for people who are on blood thinner rubber band (or Baron) ligation is a bit uncomfortable because the infrared coagulation, and equally effective. The advantages are that it usually requires only one or two treatments, and is widely available. It essentially functions like a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid tissue, waiting to fall on them. Anesthesia is sometimes used, but not always. Hemorrhoidectomy is surgery mentioned to your doctor. It has about a 2-week recovery time, and requires general anesthesia .
