Two Types Of Hemroids

There are two types of hemroids, the internal and external hemroids. Internal hemroids are the ones that bleed. These hemroids are hidden and usually painless. The external type is the most painful of the 2 types. External hemroids do not bleed, but if there is bleeding it might be from anal fissures.

In dealing with hemroids there are two things that are important: relief from the pain and discomfort and prevention of re-emrgence of hemroids.

For relief, you can have a warm bath for 10 to 15 minutes. Do this as often as possible to have enough relief. Another source for relief is through over the counter gels and jellies. This too can give relief, but one thing everybody must be aware of is that most of these medications have in them harsh chemicals that worsen the condition instead of curing it. It has been noted too that long term use of these medication is not suggested because they may cause other problems such as damage to the skin surrounding the anal area.
