Relapse is inevitable?
Why is it difficult to get rid of hemorrhoids once and for all and in what cases is it possible?
Hemorrhoids are usually chronic, although this does not mean that bumps and pain will constantly disturb the patient.
Often the course of the disease is characterized by a change in the stages of remission and exacerbation due to the impact of provoking circumstances.
Many specialists are not optimistic about the complete cure of hemorrhoids.
In their opinion, weak venous walls, which cause their expansion, are an irreversible process. In other words, if a person at least once suffered from hemorrhoids and cured him, sooner or later a relapse will occur.
Doctors believe that conservative therapy can not help in this situation, and to get rid of hemorrhoids quickly and forever is possible only through the operation. But, many proctologists do not adhere to such a categorical opinion.
Often, patients who are confronted with a disease manage to get rid of hemorrhoids forever.
For example, this applies to pregnant women who develop the disease not due to the existing varicose veins, but because of a whole set of factors that are manifested only during the expectation of the baby.
If the case is not started, then there is no need to urgently run to the surgeons, you can resort to the use of various therapeutic agents, and first of all, make significant adjustments to the diet and lifestyle.
A timely treatment allows you to achieve a persistent, and sometimes lifelong state of remission.
Much depends on the neglect of the disease
Before embarking on the treatment of hemorrhoids, you need to determine its stage and form.
The most common disease is acquired character, but there is also an innate disease. A baby can become the owner of this trouble not because of malnutrition or frequent constipation, but because the venous walls are very weak.
The disease can be acute or chronic.
In the first case, there are symptoms such as small cones and pain during defecation, which can appear immediately after constipation, and then disappear.
The most common chronic form of hemorrhoids: the first constipation or any other intestinal problem can return the disease.
There are 4 stages of hemorrhoids.
The main differences are the size of the cones and the intensity of the pain:
- The initial stage of - the appearance of a cone is not a mandatory feature. Pain and burning are more common after visiting the toilet. Or there may be several small hemorrhoid nodules quickly returning to the site after defecation. This stage of hemorrhoids can be cured very quickly, but patients often ignore the problem until acute pain occurs.
- The second stage of characterizes the loss of hemorrhoids, which after a short period of time are re-directed.
- The third stage of is accompanied by the appearance of larger nodules that are noticeable during walking and sitting, pain and a burning sensation in the anus. Remove nodules can be by using special candles or by self-correction.
- The fourth stage of the is the heaviest. There are severe bleeding, cones can not be corrected on their own, and the nodes are large and painful.
What will help get rid of the disease?
Methods of treatment should be chosen by the doctor depending on the stage of the disease, which, as indicated above, four. Conservative therapy is being used from the first stage. In this case, the patient can get rid of the disease completely, if he clearly performs the medical appointment.
In the I-III stages of hemorrhoids, the use of minimally invasive procedures is recommended.
The most common means of treatment of I-III stages of hemorrhoids include:
- application of Long's method against the background of resection of the rectal mucosa;
- regular drying;
- desarterization of the hemorrhoidal node;
- ligation of the node using latex rings.
IV stage can not be cured without serious surgical intervention.
During the operation, excision of the nodes occurs, and if there is a thrombosis of the external node, the doctor conducts the removal of blackened cavernous bodies.
Get rid of external hemorrhoids
Treatment of external hemorrhoids is focused on removing inflammation in the node and eliminating swelling and pain.
For this, a number of antihemorrhoidal medications are used, each of which must have the following actions:
- to relieve inflammation, swelling and itching;
- to eliminate pain syndrome;
- to dilute the blood, which in turn will prevent thrombus formation( such an effect is characteristic of heparin).
The composition of ointments and suppositories also includes substances that contribute to the rapid healing and elimination of infection.
The specificity of external hemorrhoids is that patients prefer ointments, since their use is less painful than the use of candles.
When thrombosis when using a local remedy, it is necessary to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and venotonic agents.
And if the therapy does not give the proper result, we need to move on to more cardinal measures, namely, opening and removal of the clot.
In general, the treatment of external hemorrhoids can be conservative or surgical. Extreme caution must be observed when treating a pregnant woman, because you need not only to cope effectively with the symptoms, but also not to harm the child.
How to handle internal nodes?
If it is an early stage of the disease and a small amount of internal nodes, then it is possible to get rid of hemorrhoids quite quickly, one of the conservative means.
In addition, you can get rid of the disease with the help of folk remedies or medications.
Among drugs, preference is given to creams and suppositories. In addition, it is worth using some venotonizing agent. This leads to strengthening the venous wall, and also does not allow the formation of new and grow old nodes.
Internal hemorrhoids can be treated with folk remedies.
For example, candles made from such natural products as potatoes, honey, propolis, lard, and scarlet leaf not only relieve pain, but also heal the mucous membrane.
Decoction of chamomile or calendula, sea buckthorn oil, water extract of propolis, clay, as well as beet and potato juice can be used for microclysters. An ointment tampon based on birch tar also nicely eliminates the problem.
If the application of conservative measures did not lead to the desired result, then it is worth moving on to minimally invasive methods: sclerotherapy or infrared photocoagulation.
Hemorrhoids II-III stage requires the use of latex ring ligation and cryotherapy, as well as ligation of vessels feeding the node.
