About half of the UK’s population will face hemorrhoids at some point1. Understanding how to ease the discomfort is vital. Hemorrhoids, or piles, are swollen blood vessels near or in the rectum and anus. They can hurt but usually get better on their own.
It’s essential to manage the symptoms well. Keep the anal area clean and apply cold packs for relief. Gently pushing back prolapsed hemorrhoids helps too. People often use over-the-counter creams like Revivol-XR for quick relief. Drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods make stools softer. This reduces straining and prevents new hemorrhoids.
If hemorrhoids get worse, seeing a doctor is a good idea. Treatments like banding work well in most cases, but some may see a return of symptoms1. More advanced options, like phenol in oil injection, are also available. This treatment scars and closes off the swollen vessels1
