5 Quick Tips to Alleviate Hemorrhoids

More than 10 million Americans suffer from hemorrhoids and 3 out of 4 people will develop them at some point in their lives. Here are some quick and easy tips to relieve some of the side effects of hemorrhoids.

Stay well hydrated and eat a high fiber diet with bran, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Fiber helps soften your stools and decrease your risk of constipation.
If needed, start using a stool softener.
Use baby wipes or Tucks Pad’s after each bowel movement. To a hemorrhoid, toilet paper is like applying sandpaper to your behind. This “sandpaper” cleansing after you have a bowel movement increases irritation and causes discomfort or pain as well as bleeding.
Apply topical ointments like witch hazel, Balneo cream, or Preparation H to relieve itching and burning.
Take a 20-30 minute bath to not only relax you, but to clean.

“Dr. Kass, thank you very much for the professional courtesy towards my EVLT procedure.

I also wanted to let you know how much I respect your expertise in treating my varicose veins and I can tell that you are highly trained and skilled. I also respect how well you fielded all my questions and took the time to answer them as well. I will continue to highly recommend you and your staff to anyone who may need your services.

“Hi Bonnie, I just wanted to let you know that the last vein zapping/bruising treatment did the trick, and the last of those stubborn veins are finally gone! It is such a thrill to me now to not have those darn veins on my nose to cover up! I just want to thank you for all your extra care and effort you gave me, it is so much appreciated! I hope those veins stay away for a while, but at least I know where to go when they come back! Thanks Again!”
