People suffering from hemorrhoids often think that the sole solver for their problem is by taking some medicine that will end their suffering. This is not true, since the medicine will bring temporary relief to the pain, without curing the disease absolutely. Besides medication, the sufferer of hemorrhoids should also conduct the behavioural changes as well as the dietary changes.

The medication that can be conducted in treating hemorrhoids is by consuming or using some kind of drugs. The first should contain zinc, which is the skin protectant. It can be found in baby diaper rash cream, and it should be applied to protect the delicate skin as well as to relieve itching. The second medication is the suppositories which cannot be used in a long term since it will cause the damage to anal tissue if it is used for more than 7 to 10 days. Hydrocortisone cream is also helpful to help both inflammation and itching.

The other thing that should be done to help the medication is the behavioural changing. As a hemorrhoid treatment and to reduce the pain, apply some ice on the area, and follow with warm, moist towel. If you have the bowel movement, then you should not rub or wipe it, instead, you should use the unscented baby wipes to pat the area down carefully. You should also move around and avoiding sitting or standing in one place for too long. If the symptoms become more painful, then a bed rest will relieve the pressure. Taking bath everyday and switching the perfumed products to the unscented ones will also help the treatment.

The next that will help the medication so that it will not get worse to the next stage of haemorrhoids, such as bleeding hemorrhoids, is by conducting the dietary changing. It will be helpful to consume more fiber in your food, as well as drink as much water as possible to avoid constipation that will worsen the symptoms. Several food are also proved well to worsen the hemmorhoid problem, such as nuts, coffee, all alcohol and spicy food.
