Hemorrhoids , it's Sing, Symptoms & more :- Dr.Rajib Biswas says about it.
Tests and procedures to diagnose internal hemorrhoids may include examination of your anal canal and rectum:
Digital examination:-During a digital rectal exam inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum.He or she feels for anything unusual, such as growths.The exam can suggest to your doctor whether further testing is needed.
Visual inspection.Because internal hemorrhoids are often too soft to be felt during a rectal exam,also examine the lower portion of your colon and rectum with an anoscope, proctoscope or sigmoidoscopy.Examine your entire colon using colonoscopy if:
Your signs and symptoms suggest you might have another digestive system disease
You have risk factors for colorectal cancer
You're middle-aged and haven't had a recent colonoscopy
Treatment:-
Home remedies
You can often relieve the mild pain, swelling and inflammation of hemorrhoids with home treatments.Often these are the only treatments needed.
Eat high-fiber foods.Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.Doing so softens the stool and increases its bulk, which will help you avoid the straining that can worsen symptoms from existing hemorrhoids.Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
Use topical treatments.Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day.A sitz bath fits over the toilet.
Keep the anal area clean.Bathe (preferably) or shower daily to cleanse the skin around your anus gently with warm water.Avoid alcohol-based or perfumed wipes.Gently pat the area dry or use a hair dryer.
Don't use dry toilet paper.To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol.
Apply cold.Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling.
Take oral pain relievers.You can use acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) temporarily to help relieve your discomfort.
With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week, if you don't get relief in a week, or sooner if you have severe pain or bleeding.
Medications:-
If your hemorrhoids produce only mild discomfort, Suggest over-the-counter creams, ointments, suppositories or pads.These products contain ingredients, such as witch hazel, or hydrocortisone and lidocaine, that can relieve pain and itching, at least temporarily.
Don't use an over-the-counter steroid cream for more than a week unless directed by your doctor because it may cause your skin to thin.
External hemorrhoid thrombectomy
If a painful blood clot (thrombosis) has formed within an external hemorrhoid, your doctor can remove the clot with a simple incision and drainage, which may provide prompt relief.This procedure is most effective if done within 72 hours of developing a clot.
