Well, quite possibly it does, but since Venapro is a homeopathic hemorrhoid remedy, it is not approved by the FDA meaning that it has not under gone the rigorous testing that is required by the FDA for traditional medicines. According to the official Venapro website, the ingredients are as follows – Horse Chestnut, Arnica, Fluoride of Lime, St. Mary’s Thistle, Stone Root, Witch Hazel, Muriatic Acid, Krameria’Mapato, alcohol and purified water.

Some of these nutritional supplements have been used for years in homeopathic medicines and may prove helpful to many hemorrhoid sufferers. For example, some studies have shown that horse chestnut does work to reduce swelling and therefore would naturally provide some hemorrhoid relief. In addition horse chestnut also may improve and strengthen vein walls leading to a reduction in hemroid flare ups. Many of these ingredients are thought to exhibit similar properties to the horse chestnut, improving veins, reducing swelling, improving circulation, and just generally reducing hemroid symptoms. According to the Venapro website, the alcohol and purified water are used for preservation and serve no medicinal purpose.

The Venapro website contains this usage information:

Summary

Unfortunately our society has pushed homeopathic medicine to the back burner sometimes to the point that it seems in favor of big pharmaceutical companies. Since “medicines” are closely regulated and controlled by the FDA, Venapro can’t make any health claims. This is to stop the wholesale practice of scam artists hawking miracle cures like back in the Old West when scam artists would roll into town purporting to cure all manner of diseases with people “miraculously” being cured of blindness, physical ailments, and general malaise. This lack of testing doesn’t necessarily mean that Venapro doesn’t work – maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. I can’t say with any authority that Venapro is a miracle cure for hemroids because even Venapro can’t make that claim. My only advice is to discuss it with you doctor. And please be advised that even natural homeopathic medicines can have side effects and interact with any prescription medications you are taking, so this really does need to be discussed with your doctor.

Hemorrhoid surgery has come along way from the surgeries of the recent past. Most hemroid surgery used to involve the actual cutting of the hemorrhoids to remove them from the body, this is called a hemorrhoidectomy. Because this technique may result in long term problems, pain, and a slower recovery, more advanced techniques have gained favor resulted in less discomfort and a much quicker recovery time. The hemorrhoidectomey is still used today, but only for more serious conditions.

Here is a list of some of the most common hemroid surgery options available:

Rubber Band Ligation – A tiny elastic band is wrapped tightly around the hemorrhoid so that the blood is cut off and then the hemorrhoid is just naturally removed from the body.

Hemorrhoidectomy – This procedure is exactly what it sounds like, a surgery to remove the hemorrhoid. This is usually only used in the worst cases because the recovery is very painful and it might cause incontinence problems down the road.

Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy – This is usually performed on prolapsed hemorrhoids and not external hemroids. It is very similar to the rubber band ligation in that it cuts off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid so that it can be simply removed.

Sclerotherapy – An injectable irritant (sclerosant) is injected into the hemorrhoid itself and this causes the veins to harden and then the hemorrhoid shrivels up and dies.

Doppler Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation – During this procedure, an ultrasound (Doppler) devise is used to find hemorrhoidal arteries which are then cut off with a small stitch. With this treatment, there is less discomfort and possible complications than with surgery and the process is very quick and easy.

Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH) – A stapler is used to move the anal cavity tissue in such a way that blood supply is cut off to the hemorrhoid and it shrinks, this usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. This is   less painful than a hemorrhoidectomy because it is done in the area with no pain sensors; it also has a faster recovery time and less possible complications.

These are some of the most common surgical hemorrhoid treatment options, but there are several other surgical hemroid treatment options that your doctor may discuss with you. Only in the worst hemorrhoid cases is it necessary to have surgery and with any luck you will be able to control your hemorrhoids without the need for surgery. Usually simple lifestyle changes are enough to manage the condition.
