Did you know that one in 20 Americans experience hemorrhoids at some point in their lives? This fact comes from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)1. This high number shows how common and painful this condition can be. But the good news is, there are many natural remedies that can help ease the pain at home.
There are several ways to relieve hemorrhoid pain at home. Taking warm baths regularly can lessen the discomfort2. Eating more fiber makes your stools softer, which makes going to the bathroom easier2. Also, using hemorrhoid creams with lidocaine or witch hazel can calm the pain and itchiness31.
Other helpful habits include drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly. Water makes stools softer, so they’re easier to pass2. Exercise helps your bowels work better and lowers the risk of getting hemorrhoids2. Using cold compresses can also reduce swelling and pain for a while1. Wearing cotton clothes and using unscented soap can stop more irritation. Going to the bathroom when you need to can prevent problems, making it easier to manage hemorrhoid symptoms.
