As compared from before, treatment of hemorrhoids (relief from piles) are now easier and faster thanks to the advancement of medical technology. Of course, natural and traditional methods still exist. But if your hemorrhoids get severed, a surgery may be necessitated to remove such. You may use ice packs to reduce the swelling. The ice pack must be wrapped with a cotton fabric and hold it in your anus not allowing it to directly touch. In this way, a soothing sensation will be felt. You may also apply superficial creams like petroleum jelly, relief creams, cortisone creams and suppositories on the inflamed area. These will help you heal faster. Just do not forget to apply these creams very gently so that you wonβt hurt yourself.
You may also use towelettes or wipes to clean your anus after excretion by gently patting it and not wiping it. Remember that prevention is always better than cure so always to take care of yourself.
