Treatment Options for Internal Bleeding Piles

Dietary Changes

Adjust your diet to soften stools, reduce irritation, and minimize bleeding:

  • Increase Fiber Intake: Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help prevent constipation.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications

These can ease bowel movements and reduce strain:

  • Stool Softeners: Use products like docusate sodium.
  • Fiber Supplements: Consider psyllium husk or methylcellulose if needed.

Topical Treatments

Relieve symptoms such as itching and inflammation:

  • Hemorrhoid Creams/Ointments: Look for products with hydrocortisone or witch hazel.

Medical Procedures

If conservative measures fail, your doctor may recommend:

  • Rubber Band Ligation: A band is placed to cut off the hemorrhoid’s blood supply, causing it to shrink.
  • Infrared Coagulation (IRC): Uses infrared light to coagulate blood vessels.
  • Sclerotherapy: Involves injecting a chemical solution to shrink the hemorrhoid.

Surgical Intervention

In severe cases, surgical removal might be necessary:

  • Hemorrhoidectomy: The hemorrhoid is surgically removed to alleviate symptoms.
