Internal hemorrhoids are type of hemorrhoids which are not easy to deal with. They don't usually hurt but when they protrude outside the anus, that's when you start feeling the pain. These are the cases when the swollen veins inside are large and bulge out of the anus, and it is called prolapsed internal hemorrhoids. That is why sometimes mistaken as external hemorrhoids. When you have internal hemorrhoids, blood usually comes out during a normal bowel movement.
Treating internal hemorrhoids can be done in various methods, depending on which hemorrhoid treatment you would want to or your doctor's advice.
Here are the different methods on how to get rid of your hemorrhoids:
Rubber band ligation – with this method, a rubber band is used around the base of the hemorrhoids, cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid. The band cuts off circulation and causes hemorrhoids to shrink and eventually dies. In about a week it will just fall off.
Sclerotherapy – this method is similar to rubber band ligation but it uses chemical solution injected into the vein within a hemorrhoid. The chemical solution cuts off the hemorrhoid's blood supply.
Infrared light – infrared light is used to inhibit blood circulation to a small and bleeding hemorrhoids. This will cause hemorrhoids to shrink.
Laser coagulation – a new method that uses electric current to trigger chemical reactions that cuts off blood supply in the hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoidectomy – this method literally removes hemorrhoids using a scalpel or laser. When all other hemorrhoid treatments fail, surgical removal of hemorrhoids is recommended.
Before you reach this point or condition, preventing any types of hemorrhoids to appear is recommended. Start changing your diet now and a lifestyle change is a good way to start with.
