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.
Disclaimer: Always consult a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
