Anyone at any time could experience a hemorrhoid flare up. For those that experience an occasional hemorrhoid problem there are many over the counter remedies that can provide a person with some comfort. For those who experience a more serious level of hemorrhoid problems the pain can be excruciating and can make it difficult to sit or stand. Since hemorrhoid problems stem from constriction of the blood vessels in the anal region, this problem can become quite serious. Even though it may seem like a simple rash or inflammation, it is actually something that (if it continues to happen) will need medical attention.
There used to be limited options available for those who experience hemorrhoid flare-ups, and even less options for those who have had more serious hemorrhoid problems. Hemorrhoid treatment is available in over the counter medication and herbal forms, but these provide only minimal relief to those with light cases of hemorrhoids. For those with more serious problems, like those who have to sit on inflatable donuts to prevent further aggravation of their condition, it is time to consider a more permanent treatment.
While many think that surgery is the only option for serious hemorrhoid problems, this is not true. As a matter of fact, surgery should only be considered as a last resort. There are many other solutions available for those suffering from hemorrhoids, and none of them involve surgery.
Up until recent years, one of the most common forms of treatment has been rubber band ligation. This process is mildly effective for external hemorrhoids, but it has never been a successful treatment for internal hemorrhoids. Lately more successful treatments like heat, laser, and coagulation therapy have risen to take its place.
Infrared coagulation therapy offers patients a simple way to reduce their hemorrhoids in just a few outpatient procedures. This process uses an infrared light to coagulate the blood, which causes the vessels leading to the hemorrhoids to shrink. Because there is no blood going to the hemorrhoids, they recede and vanish. Additionally, the recovery process for this operation is very short: most people are back to their normal routine immediately, and must only wait a few days to return to heavy activities like lifting.
Which treatment a patient should use is dependent on their particular case of hemorrhoids. The seriousness of the condition, the frequency of the flare-ups, as well as the age of the patient will all need to be taken into consideration in order to choose the best treatment. Consulting a doctor on these matters will help determine which treatment options are best for someone who has trouble with hemorrhoids.
