Product Overview

Avatrol is our #1 choice, with an almost perfect rating from both eBay and Amazon users it was a clear cut winner. Avatrol contains a unique blend of natural ingredients that is designed to promote better circulation, improve gastrointestinal health, strengthen vein health and minimize constipation, all of which are beneficial for treating and preventing hemorrhoids. The active ingredients of Avatrol also help to minimize hemorrhoid swelling and reduce pain so that you can get back to enjoying your life as quickly as possible.

This products costs $45.95 for a one month supply (30 pills), so this one month supply would allow you to only take 1 capsule per month rather than 2. One capsule is the minimum recommended dosage and 2 capsules is the maximum. The product label states that 45-60 days of continuous usage may be required for optimal results, but it doesn’t say if this with 1 or 2 capsules per day. It would be nice if the one month supply of Avatrol came with 60 capsules instead of only 30, this would allow for taking the maximum dosage and make it more economical, however, Avatrol has very excellent ratings and customers report being very happy with the results, so the higher price tag is warranted.

The Active Ingredients of Avatrol Nutrional Supplement

Horse Chestnut:  Horse Chestnut has been in use for years as an herbal remedy, historically it has been used to reduce fevers, as a cough remedy and to reduce pain and inflammation. It helps promote better circulation, which makes it beneficial in treating varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Horse chestnut can be found in both internal supplements and topical ointments.


Arginine:  Arginine helps your body’s cells produce nitric oxide which helps to relax muscle spasms. Relaxing of the anal sphincter can help reduce the risk of potential complications such as strangulated hemorrhoids (this is when a hemorrhoid falls out of the anal canal (prolapse) and gets trapped there when the sphincter muscles contract).

Oat Straw:  Oat Straw is a fiber that helps promotes softer, healthier stools and easier bowel movement, making it ideal for treating hemorrhoids. It’s often used to treat high blood pressure, obesity, varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Oat Straw is also used to treat digestive issues such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis and gastritis.




Cascara Sagrada:  This bark has minor laxative properties that help control minor constipation; it also helps produce softer stools and easier bowel movements, all of which are necessary for both the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids.





Bilberry:  Bilberry is used to promote tissue health and is often recommended for the treatment of varicose veins and hemorrhoids. In Germany, it is traditionally used to treat mild diarrhea which can also help reduce the risk of hemorrhoids.




Butcher’s Broom:  Butcher’s Broom is a root used to treat circulatory problems; this makes it ideal for the treatment of hemorrhoids as well as other circulatory issues such as varicose veins and thrombosis (blood clotting). It also helps to strengthen tissue and veins, both of which are also helpful in treating hemorrhoids.


Mullein:  Mullein can be used both internally as well as topically. It has a variety of properties that make it helpful in the treatment of hemorrhoids. It is demulcent, this means that it forms a film over a mucous membrane which help to relieve pain and inflammation. It is an emollient; this means that it is a skin softening agent. Plus it is also an astringent; this means that it helps to shrink body tissue. Astringents, when applied topically, are soothing on the impacted tissue.

[jbutton color="red" size="large" link="http://hemroidshemroidtreatment.com/venapro/does-venapro-work/"]How It Works[/jbutton]

[/jbox]
When people first become diagnosed with hemorrhoids, obviously one of the first things they want to find is an effective hemorrhoid treatment. Of course this isn’t always that simple. Each case will be unique, so people may experience different symptoms based on the severity of their hemroid condition so determining a blanket hemorrhoid treatment that would work for everyone isn’t practical. Hemorrhoid treatment solutions fall under 4 basic categories – natural hemorrhoid treatment, medicated treatment, surgery and last, but not least, prevention. This article will explain each one so you can determine which will be the best hemorrhoid treatment for you.

Natural Hemorrhoid Treatment

Natural hemorrhoid treatment is trying to control your symptoms without the use of drugs or prescription medications, usually using simple lifestyle changes or herbal creams or supplements. Preventing hemorrhoids would fall under this category, but because it is so important, I chose to give it its own category, so this will be discussed later in this article. Natural hemroid treatments can be very effective for people with people with minor symptoms who are willing to make some simple changes.

Here is a list of some of the options you can try:

• There are some natural supplements that also work as natural vasoconstrictor which means they actually help to improve the veins by making them stronger. Popular ingredients in these supplements include Butcher’s Broom and Horse-chestnut extract. Many commercially made supplements can now be found on the market with these ingredients, for example both Avatrol and Venapro contain Horse-chestnut.

• You may want to try warm sitz baths lasting for 15 minutes twice a day to help relax the veins around the anus. Sitz bath “tubs” are actually small water containers designed for just this purpose. They are used to submerge the genitals and anal area in a soothing bath and are used while sitting. Sitz baths are also used after child birth, for vaginal relief, and general discomfort resulting from infections of these delicate areas.

• Cold compresses to numb the area and reduce swelling may also be effective. To me this sounds very uncomfortable, but so are hemorrhoids, so I imagine it’s all relative.

• Hydrotherapy with warm water may also work in much the same way as a sitz bath, both soothing the area and relaxing the enflamed blood vessels. Hydrotherapy could be done in a hot tub, a jet tub, with a bidet, or an extendable shower head.

• Externally applied moisturizers can help to reduce dryness and provide some relief from symptoms. Externally applied herbal remedies can be readily found and are even made commercially now days. These herbal medications serve multiple purposes, they help to reduce inflammation by naturally reducing blood flow to the impacted area and they also help to alleviate symptoms. Some popular herbal “medicines” include Aloe Vera and witch hazel.

Medicated Hemorrhoid Treatment

If you find that you can’t control your hemorrhoids through natural means or with changing your diet, then you may need to resort to more drastic measures. This is especially true if you have a particularly bad case of hemorrhoids or if your symptoms are beginning to impact your day to day life. Over the counter hemroid medications such as Preparation H can be readily found at most drugstores. Another type of medicated treatment is available only from your doctor by prescription and is usually in a cream or a suppository form. Whether you would use a cream or a suppository is usually determined by whether your hemorrhoid is internal or external. Both the over the counter version and the prescription version contain similar ingredients but the prescription only version is much stronger. It has more corticosteroids which help with the pain, itching, and swelling. Common prescription medications include Anusol HC and Proctocort.

Hemorrhoid Surgery

Most people will never require hemorrhoid surgery. Only when people have a lot of smaller hemorrhoids, a very large hemorrhoid or very painful symptoms is surgery ever required. Hemorrhoid surgery has also come along way with a lot of surgeries being done on an outpatient basis with a minimum of discomfort and fast recovery times. In the past, an actual cutting surgery was done to surgically remove hemorrhoids, this is a hemorrhoidectomy. Now days, hemorrhoidectomies have fallen out of favor and are only used in extreme cases. Most of the newer methods used today don’t involve any cutting, many of them involve cutting off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid so that the hemorrhoid dries up and naturally falls off, this is done with rubber bands, lasers, and staples.

Hemorrhoid Prevention

Of all the categories, this is the most important because even if you are using the methods above, hemorrhoids is a conditions that is prone to flare ups. Usually if you have hemorrhoids, even if you control the symptoms or have them removed, they have a tendency to reappear. It’s our goal to prevent you from even having hemorrhoids in the first place, but if it’s too late for that, then we hope to help you prevent further flare ups. The single best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to avoid straining while using the bathroom and best way to do this is to eat a lot more fiber. Fiber will soften your stools and reduce straining. Both of these things will help reduce any current symptoms you may have and also prevent hemorrhoids right at the start. Losing weight, exercise, and avoiding prolonged periods of sitting can also help you prevent hemorrhoids. Obviously you can’t control all aspects that contribute to hemorrhoids such as pregnancy, aging, and genetics but we can try to better manage what is within our control.

Summary

I hope I’ve answered any questions you had about finding the best hemorrhoid treatment. For more information about what causes hemroids, hemorrhoid relief, thrombosed external hemorrhoid, bleeding hemorrhoids, 3 common mistakes and diagnosing hemorrhoids please click on the highlighted links to be directed to the appropriate article. Here’s the link for a clinical diagram: hemroid picture. Sometimes people have a hard time with the correct spelling of hemorrhoids, so they often land here accidently while searching for the term hemmoroids or some other misspelling, so to help reach more people I wrote this article: Hemmoroids, Hemroids, Hemmorrhoids, Hemorrhoids.

As with any medical condition, it’s always advisable to discuss your symptoms and hemroid treatment options with your hemorrhoids doctor. Even natural medications can have side effects or interact with your prescription medications so do your own research, but talk with a doctor too. Also keep in mind that properly diagnosing hemroids is important, it can be tempting to self diagnose, but this is never recommended. It’s important to rule out other colorectal disorders that can have symptoms that may on the surface appear to be hemorrhoids, but may potentially be more serious. For example, colon cancer can also cause anal bleeding and pain, this is why talking with a hemorrhoid doctor is so important.

Natural Hemorrhoid Treatment Solutions:

Natural topical astringent: Witch hazel.

Externally applied hemorrhoid topical balm: Aloe Vera.

Using an ice pack on an external hemorrhoid for 15 minutes to reduce swelling and relieve itching.

Switch to a stand up toilet or use a squatting position while using the toilet.

Using natural bulk fiber to have looser stools and reduce straining.

Drinking pure aloe juice is said to relieve hemroid itching and irritation.

Herbal Supplements: Butcher’s Broom is said to control hemroid inflammation and cause veins to constrict which tightens and strengthens the weakened veins.

Horse-chestnut contains an active ingredient which can help strengthen the vein walls which can then support the veins better so they don’t swell up.

Drink chamomile tea several times a day.

People with hemorrhoids brought on by poor circulation may obtain relief by sleeping with their legs propped up.

Summary

Starting hemroid treatment as soon as symptoms become evident is really the key to avoiding complications and the possibility of hemorrhoid surgery.  Success and ease of treatment depends largely on how advanced the condition is, for example whether the condition is a simple Grade I hemroid, or whether it has advanced to a thrombosed external hemorrhoid or bleeding hemorrhoids. Based on the grade of your hemroids, your hemorrhoids doctor can tell you the best way get hemorrhoid relief and make sure that the condition doesn’t get even worse.

Be sure to see a hemorrhoids doctor before you start any hemroid treatment on your own, especially if you have any of the following symptoms, but haven’t been previously diagnosed with hemorrhoids:

• Anal bleeding
• Anal pain
• Swelling at the anal opening
• Anal discharge
• Dark black stools
• A fever combined with bloody stools
• Very thin stools
• Inability to pass stools
• Chronic diarrhea
• Chronic constipation

 

See a hemorrhoids doctor if you have any of the following symptoms and have already been diagnosed with hemorrhoids:

• Severe pain
• Moderate pain that doesn’t get better after one week of treatment
• If the hemorrhoids don’t start to improve
• Hemorrhoids prolapse (fall out of the anal canal)
• If the bleeding changes from bright red to a darker color
• Stools get darker
• If bleeding gets worse

Will I need a colonoscopy?

If you have external hemorrhoids your hemorrhoids doctor may only do a visual exam, but more likely than not you will need a colonoscopy or another type of colon exam. This is especially true if you have internal hemorrhoids, a colonoscopy may be the only way to identify the hemorrhoids.

Why do I need a colonoscopy?

The main reason is so the hemorrhoid doctor can give you a proper diagnosis, there are other colorectal diseases such as colon cancer, polyps, fissures, and fistulas that may have symptoms that are the same as hemorrhoids. It’s important to rule these diseases out as a possible cause of symptoms. Plus, in the case of internal hemorrhoids, this may be the only way that the doctor can see them.  Everyone over the age of 50 years old should already be getting preventative colon screening exams done. This is because the incidence of colon cancer increases as we get older. Early screening and treatment has helped to lower the death rates associated with colon cancer making colonoscopies an important diagnostic tool.

What kind of doctor specializes in hemorrhoids?

Gastroenterologists are doctors who specialize in the digestive system from the mouth to the anal canal. After high school, training includes:

• 4 years bachelor’s degree
• 4 years medical school
• 3 years residency
• 2-3 years fellowship in gastroenterology

If the gastroenterologist specialized in a gastroenterology field like GI radiology, or hepatology, which is the study of the liver and the liver, pancreas and biliary tree, then an additional 2-3 years in the specialty field will also be required. Proctology surgery and gastroenterological surgery are not included in gastroenterology, these are surgical specialties. So, a gastroenterologist isn’t just a hemorrhoids doctor, they are much more than that, they are trained to treat diseases and disorders of the entire digestive system.

Before Your Appointment

Make sure you don’t let embarrassment keep you from getting the answers you have about hemorrhoids. A lot of medical professions recommend making a list of questions and bringing it with you, this way you don’t forget anything. Your doctor has seen and heard it all before, so don’t hesitate to ask her your most embarrassing hemroid questions. If you’re curious about what causes hemroids, natural hemroid treatments, bleeding hemorrhoids, diagnosing hemroids, hemorrhoid relief, Venapro, hemorrhoid surgery or avoiding the 3 common mistakes, now is the time to ask.

Top 10 Causes of Hemroids

1) Constipation or diarrhea: This causes straining during bowel movements which puts stress on the anal wall causing it to bulge out causing a hemroid. Since this is the leading cause of hemorrhoids, this is the best place to start when it comes to hemroid treatment.

2) Hypertension: Due to the increased blood pressure rushing through the veins, the veins in the rectum become stressed which then leads to hemorrhoids.

3) Pregnancy: Because pregnant women’s bodies are under a lot of different stresses, hemorrhoids can be a problem both during pregnancy and then after the birth. During pregnancy, a woman’s body has an increase in progesterone which relaxes the blood vessels and also can slow digestion down which leads to straining during bowel movements. During the birth itself, the actually strain of pushing the baby through the birth canal can put undo stress on the anal area also resulting in hemroids after the birth. Also, because of the huge hormonal stress that the body is under during pregnancy, hypertension can develop which can then sometimes lead to constipation.

4) Obesity: Poor muscle tone and bad posture cause strain on the rectal veins which can then lead to the formation of hemroids.

5) Alcohol or Caffeine: Use of both in excessive amounts can lead to diarrhea which puts strain on the internal veins. In addition, alcoholism can cause liver problems which then leads to hypertension another cause of hemorrhoids.

6) Age: A general loss of muscle and tissue elasticity is lost in the aging process and although it is entirely natural, it can lead to hemroids.

7) Anal sex: Of course any penetration of the anal cavity has the potential to strain both the walls and the vessels of the anal cavity.

8) General straining: Any activity that causes the anal muscles to strain can potentially cause damage or stress by increasing pressure on the rectal veins. This includes weight lifting, biking and strenuous workouts.

9) Poor diet: Lack of fiber can lead to constipation and straining which are a major contributor to hemorrhoids. In fact, in the US, straining while passing stools is the leading cause of hemorrhoids.

10) Genetic: Some people are just born with a genetic predisposition to weak rectal vein walls and/or valves.

Summary

Now that you know what causes hemorrhoids, visiting a doctor should be the next step. Although this is usually not a serious medical condition, it’s still important to visit a hemorrhoids doctor because diagnosing hemroids should be left to the professionals; your colon health is nothing to take for granted. Here’s a hemroid picture to give you a quick view of the area that your doctor will be viewing. After diagnosing, you can then work out a treatment plan with your hemorrhoid doctor, he can advise you on natural hemroid treatments and Venapro.

Any discussion about bleeding hemorrhoids must first begin with a discussion about the two main types of hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids. These hemorrhoids are exactly what you might guess from the name alone, internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids located within the anal cavity and external hemorrhoids are ones that are located at the opening of the anal canal.

Both of these types of hemorrhoids can become bleeding hemorrhoids and vary in their severity. In the case of internal hemorrhoids, bleeding may be the only symptom present. With a bleeding hemorrhoid, you may notice blood on your tissue paper, in the bowel, or covering the stool itself. Because internal hemorrhoids remain “protected” in the anal canal, they aren’t being subjected to the air, pressure from sitting and rubbing from clothes, so on the whole, they are a lot less painful than external hemorrhoids.

But, just because an internal hemorrhoid isn’t causing you problems doesn’t mean you should ignore it, because left untreated, an internal hemorrhoid can turn into a more serious condition such as a prolapsed or strangulated hemorrhoid. A prolapsed hemorrhoid is when an internal hemorrhoid becomes so inflamed it is forced out the anal opening and a strangulated hemorrhoid is when this prolapsed hemorrhoid then becomes trapped there due to the contracting of the sphincter muscles. Both of these conditions are more serious than a simple than a bleeding hemorrhoid so it’s best to start treating your hemorrhoids immediately.

External hemorrhoids are also prone to be bleeding hemorrhoids, but unlike with internal hemorrhoids if you have external hemorrhoids you’ll have a lot more than bleeding to contend with. External hemorrhoids are more painful and annoying. Common symptoms are bleeding, itching, and pain. In some cases, the external hemorrhoid can actually be seen and felt as a small swelling near the anal opening. The thrombosed external hemorrhoid is one of the most painful types of hemorrhoids, this type of hemorrhoid occurs when a blood clot forms in the hemorrhoid. The pain can be very intense, plus this hemorrhoid looks pretty scary, it gets black and blue because the blood clot can be seen under the skin.

If you think you have bleeding hemorrhoids, it is very important to see a hemorrhoids doctor immediately. Any sign of anal bleeding warrants a complete medical exam and this may even include colonoscopy. The reason for this is to rule out any other causes of the bleeding or discomfort, because some serious medical conditions like cancer can also cause these symptoms. It is tempting to just start treating your bleeding hemorrhoids on your own and skip the doctor’s visit, but this is an important step that should not be avoided. Check out what causes hemroids to find out if you have any of the 10 main risk factors for developing bleeding hemorrhoids.

In the case of most bleeding hemorrhoids, they are mostly just embarrassing and annoying and not dangerous in any way. Most bleeding hemorrhoids don’t require surgery and are controllable with simple medications such as Venapro and lifestyle changes. So, start taking control of your health and schedule that doctor’s appointment today. The sooner you start hemroid treatment, the sooner you can start to feel better and avoid further complications.
