Yes I believe that the diet is important, such as the requirement for fibrous food. But I did want to mention that water intake was important as well. Just to make sure that the fibrous food moves easily though the gut, etc.

Home treatment of hemorrhoids usually provides relief within a few days. The best hemorrhoid home treatment is based on knowing how to shrink hemorrhoids. Here are some things that help:

Sitting in a warm bathtub several times a day for 15-20 minutes.

Applying ice packs to the rectal area for 15-20 minutes two or three times a day

Keeping the rectal area clean and dry. Avoid soap, which is drying. Cleanse the area with plain water and gently pat dry or use a blow dryer set on low.

Using wipes or moistened toilet paper after a bowel movement instead of dry paper.

Whenever possible, it’s best to manage health conditions with quality, effective natural products. They are gentle, well tolerated and have fewer side effects than traditional medications. Even acetaminophen and ibuprofen-which many people take for home treatment of hemorrhoid pain-have severe and sometimes fatal side effects if you don’t use them carefully.

I like to mention some of the surgical treatments for hemorrhoids..

Internal hemorrhoid ligation – a tight band is placed around the base of a hemorrhoid, cutting of circulation to and killing the tissue in approximately seven days.

Sclerotherapy – a chemical solution injected into the vessels reduces swelling. A similar treatment is used for varicose veins in the legs.

Infrared coagulation – hemorrhoidal tissues are burned away.
Hemorrhoidectomy – traditional or laser surgical removal is necessary when other measures have failed or recurring clots and bleeding become an issue.

Cryotherapy – freezing with liquid nitrogen is rarely used anymore due to resultant pain as opposed to other methods of hemorrhoid treatment.

Laser treatment is another option. Lasers are used to shrink the hemorrhoids.

A Sitz bath originated in Europe a long time ago,the name comes from a German word “sitzen” which means “to sit” in English. Nowadays, sitz baths are used as a form of pain relief and local cleansing for people who suffer hemorrhoids. Do not use HOT water as this will have exactly the opposite effect of what you want sitz bath is a form of bathing where the bottom and hips are immersed in warm or cold water for a period of time, 15 – 20 minutes is ideal. Long Sentence sitz baths are best for cleansing the area while cool sitz baths help to ease swelling and can even help with constipation.A simple trick is to add salt, or baking soda to the water and allow yourself to soak in the water, this trick works to clean the affected area as well as relieving pain.Don’t add soap to the water as this can be irritating if you have any type of anal infection or irritation,afterwards dry the affected area with a soft towel.
