What is a thrombosed hemorrhoid?

A thrombosed haemorrhoid is also an external haemorrhoid but has a blod clot in it. It is a very painful state of affairs that can get healed of its own within a matter of one week. Nevertheless there is a very high risk of it to recur if it is just left to heal by itself. In spite of this, majority of people would still prefer having to overcome their hemorrhoid immediately rather than wait an entire week to let it be cured naturally.

Commonly a thrombosed hemorrhoid will swell in the anal area but is accompanied by a terrible itching. Should you notice blood oozing with it, then it is most likely that you also have an internal hemorrhoid. Still, one has to know how to properly treat a thrombosed hemorrhoid and what right moves to take.

The treatment process

Various modes for treatment may be used as an approach to address this condition which you may have. Some treatments may require for a doctor to perform an operation on you while there are also some treatments which you can do on your own. Several times, it has been proven that taking a high fiber diet and keeping a good personal hygiene works as an effective method to remove this problem. Since people often do not have patience, they need to have themselves operated and endure the pain of going under the knife.

To obtain relief from this problem, there are lots of things that we can do on our own. The use of topical ointments, warm water baths on the affected area and the avoidance of sitting toilets can give benefits. These things that you can do on your own will in fact help in soothing you from the pain.

These topical creams that are used on hemorrhoids contains lydocaine, which removes the pain. However, along with lessening the pain, they will also help you shrink the thrombosis by degrees and abolishing it after a point of time.

There are various methods which may be used, when speaking of surgery. But the personal diet and hygiene method is the most beneficiary as it prevents the condition from occurring again. Keep in mind that you will still need treatment even if you will select surgery as method for treatment. Actually, any superior operation for a thrombosis will require a longer time invested when compared to a normal process of removal to make it succeed.

Yet, this method of instant hemorrhoid removal is not that much effective and not really that good. This is so because it has been found out that in the condition has returned when the surgery has been done and the wound is healing. Usually, if you get surgery done with the arrival of the symptoms you stand of getting cured easily than if you get surgery done at a later time.

During the surgery, a surgeon may slice the blood vessels and remove the clot which causes the problem. However, in my opinion, nothing beats good food and regular exercise to avoid thrombosed hemorroids.
