What should I do if my hemorrhoids hurt?

Hemorrhoids are one of the diseases that people least want to suffer from, because of their hidden location and the pain caused by the disease are unbearable. It is said that nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids. The reason for the widespread occurrence of hemorrhoids is that people in today's society have disordered diets, love spicy food, and have bad habits such as staying up late, drinking, smoking, etc., which make hemorrhoids "occurable". The pain of hemorrhoids is also very unbearable. So, what should I do if the hemorrhoids hurt?

First, what should I do if hemorrhoids hurt? Clean your anal area thoroughly after every bowel movement. Wet unscented toilet paper and wipe gently to avoid further irritating the skin. If you have sensitive skin, you can use baby wipes. Take a warm bath. Fill the bathtub with warm water until the water level reaches 10 cm. Slowly sit in the bathtub, bend your knees, relax your body, and soak for 15 minutes. This position allows the anal area to be immersed in warm water as much as possible, helping to relieve pain and soothe skin irritation. Add a little Epsom salt and stir well until dissolved. Epsom salts can shrink and/or soothe hemorrhoids when applied topically in creams or ointments. This helps a lot in the healing process. These creams, available over the counter at your local pharmacy, include: Corticosteroid creams that contain low doses of steroids to help reduce pain and swelling. [Creams containing lidocaine can help relieve pain. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic.

Second, apply a warm, wet tea bag. Sitting on the toilet and applying a tea bag can provide some relief to hemorrhoids. The warm tea bags have a soothing effect, and the tea contains tannins, which are natural astringents that help reduce swelling and relieve pain. Use witch hazel. Soak a cotton ball in undistilled witch hazel and gently apply it to the hemorrhoids. As we all know, witch hazel is rich in tannins, which are very effective in reducing swelling and relieving pain. You can also buy medicated wipes that contain witch hazel. They usually come wet and can be used instead of, or in addition to, toilet paper.

What should I do if I have hemorrhoids and it hurts? Be prepared to prevent hemorrhoids from the beginning, and you won't have to worry about treating them. Try to do all the steps listed below to avoid being tortured by hemorrhoids. Drink 8 glasses of water every day. Drinking plenty of fluids will help you.
