For many, even the idea of speaking with a physician is too uncomfortable. Arm yourself with the knowledge in these tips for dealing with hemorrhoids.

A great tip for your painful hemorrhoids is to avoid using regular toilet tissue. This is important because the friction of even soft tissue will only aggravate your hemorrhoid and cause more pain. Try using baby wipes or any other pre-treated wipe that will not cause too much friction.

There are many things a person suffering from hemorrhoids can do to alleviate the discomfort. One good way to reduce the symptoms is to use a sitz bath or sit in a tub with warm water several times a day for about ten minutes. Using an ice pack can also reduce the swelling and give you some relief.

When struggling with the symptoms of hemorrhoids, you can try the ointments or creams that are available at stores. These creams and ointments will not cure your hemorrhoids, but they will help make the symptoms more tolerable. You should not use the creams or ointments for longer than a week.

When you are sitting for extended periods of time and are not getting enough physical activity on a regular basis, you are making yourself more susceptible for developing hemorrhoids. Exercising as frequently as you can in addition to a well balanced diet puts you at a lower risk for developing hemorrhoids as you age.

A great tip for your painful hemorrhoids is to try using aloe vera on it. This is a great plant that has a wonderful soothing feeling and will also tame your inflammation. It may benefit you to have an aloe vera plant on hand in case you ever need one.

If you have a very firm chair at work, bring a cushion to sit on during the day. This cushion can reduce the amount of friction that you have on your skin, which can limit the sores that you acquire. Find a soft gel cushion to sit on while at work.

To treat existing as well as prevent new hemorrhoids from forming, every time you have a bowel movement, use any of the readily available over-the-counter hemorrhoid wipes or pads to gently cleanse yourself after wiping. The pads are treated with witch hazel and provide instant relief from pain and itching as well as help to shrink hemorrhoid tissues.

Over the counter creams and ointments are one of the more affordable options for relief from the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids. Look for soothing ingredients to treat different symptoms. Ingredients like hydrocortisone will reduce itching and swelling, while local anesthetics will provide effective, but temporary relief from pain and soreness.

Avoid sitting for long periods of time. Prolonged sitting can irritate hemorrhoids, make them more inflamed and delay healing. Try to stand as much as possible, use a doughnut pillow or lie on your side or stomach to avoid needless pain and to allow your hemorrhoids to heal in a timely manner.

If you are suffering from this problem you will want to maintain even better hygeine than normal. Think about investing in some type of wet toilet paper instead of using the normal dry one, and also be sure to clean very well twice or even more times during every day.

You may think that you are alone in this problem and that it is something to be embarrassed about, but it actually occurs in almost half of all adults by the time they reach middle age. Their are many products available which can help greatly with this issue available over the counter because it is so common.

If you find yourself eating a lot of processed food, you are most likely, not getting nearly enough fiber which is leading to constipation and a variety of other issues with regards to hemorrhoids, whether you have them or are just starting to develop them. Make sure that you consume enough fiber to keep your body regular.

Sleep is integral if you want to reduce the pain from the hemorrhoids that you have. Try to aim for at least seven hours of sleep every single night to help your body to restore its natural functionality.
