One of the most extreme and severe types of hemorrhoids is the thrombosed hemorrhoid. Thrombosed hemorrhoids are usually extremely painful but luckily most dont need surgical removal. Thrombosed hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids which have clotted inside the anal canal. Thrombosed hemorrhoids can be soft or hard and form in the vein which runs inside the anal canal. Thrombosed hemorrhoids can also occur externally in which case they can be seen, again they can be soft or hard to touch.



Natural cures are now recognized as being one of the most effective cures of thrombosed hemorrhoids. Apart from just curing the condition, they can also provide fast pain relief to hemorrhoid sufferers. Below we have listed 8 tips to help those of you with hemorrhoids:

Take several warm baths in a sitting position (known as a sitz bath) daily " this will reduce pain and clean the affected area. Sitting down can often be very uncomfortable (and sometimes impossible) for sufferers of thrombosed hemorrhoids, in this case try squatting in the warm water for 5 minutes or so.

If it hurts you or if you struggle during bowel movement, softening of the stool may be exactly what you need. You can do this quite easily by eating more foods which are high in fiber such as fruit, beans, vegetables, and cereals.

Avoid dehydration. Stay hydrated by drinking a minimum of 7 glasses of water daily. This is not difficult - you should aim for 10 glasses to ensure hydration. Try drinking 2 glasses immediately when you wake up in the morning, 2 more at morning tea time and lunch time, 2 at dinner time and 2 before going to bed. Its always better to sip the water than drink it quickly.

Apply ice to the anal opening (or affected area). This will reduce the blood flow to the area and will also numb the thrombosed hemorrhoid. Wrap ice in a cloth to apply.

Apply over the counter hemorrhoid creams for pain relief. (NB: Some creams may cause extra irritation to your skin so choose one carefully)

Use Ibuprofen as a pain relief.

Get regular exercise to help speed up your metabolism.

Reduce irritation and pain when cleaning your anus by using extra soft toilet paper or a soft damp towel.
