1 What causes pathology?

Hemorrhoids in men, as in women, arise from varicose veins of the rectum. Provoking factors can be sedentary work, sedentary lifestyle, constipation and excessive straining with defecation, homosexual intercourse.

Expanded veins located in the mucosa form nodes - hemorrhoid cones, which deform the mucosa and cause its large areas to fall into the lumen of the intestine( internal hemorrhoids) or outward( external hemorrhoids).Hemorrhoids are constantly traumatized by calves, which can cause bleeding, and sometimes severe damage and necrosis. In such severe cases, the only effective method is surgery. But if the disease has not yet gone so far, folk remedies can be effective.

2 Applicable ointments and oils

Heparin ointment can be called a folk remedy rather arbitrarily, but, nevertheless, it is used quite often. It is designed to improve blood fluidity, which prevents venous congestion( the same principle is based on the use of heparin ointment for varicose veins on the lower limbs).Under the influence of heparin ointment pains decrease, the risk of complications of hemorrhoids decreases, cones can diminish in size, and small and newly formed - completely resolve.

Such a folk remedy, like stone oil, has wound healing, analgesic and emollient effects, andalso has anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect. It allows you to prevent bleeding, inflammation and necrosis of hemorrhoids, and also helps to reduce pain, normalize defecation. Stone oil is considered one of the best folk remedies for hemorrhoids due to its versatility. It can be used both externally, as an ointment and microclyster, and inside, dissolving in water in the proportion of 3 grams per 2 liters of water. If necessary, you can add honey. It is drunk before meals, with increased acidity - after.

Sea buckthorn oil contains rutin, vitamin C and tannins, which strengthen the vascular wall, prevent bleeding from the hemorrhoids. Also, oil softens damaged skin, accelerates the healing of microcracks and minor injuries, has a moderate antiseptic effect, improves the rheological properties of blood, preventing venous stasis.

The use of ointments and oils in the treatment of hemorrhoids in men is associated with some inconveniences - they treat only the superficial nodes and are ineffective in relation to the deep ones, since it is impossible to introduce the ointment at the required depth. In addition, they make dirty underwear, which does not make the treatment process more convenient.

3 Compresses and home analogues of rectal suppositories

Unlike ointments, compresses do not need to be left on the skin for a long time, after use they can be washed off and quietly worn clean underwear. In addition, due to the fact that they are injected directly into the rectum, they can have a therapeutic effect directly on the deep hemorrhoidal nodes, and not only on the surface. The disadvantage of the method - the sensations during the procedures can be, to put it mildly, unpleasant, and sometimes painful.

One such folk remedy is raw potatoes. It is used in grated form for compresses with external hemorrhoids and cut - for placement in the anus( place it so that it is easy to pull back).Grated potatoes are wrapped in a clean cloth or gauze and applied to the external hemorrhoids. The skin must be thoroughly washed.

There are also more exotic recipes for the use of various anti-hemorrhoids agents in the anus, but they all have one common drawback: finding them in the anus can itself cause inflammatory diseases and injuries, so use them with great caution.

4 Means used inside

The most convenient folk methods for treating hemorrhoids are those that are associated with taking medications inwards. They do not cause unpleasant sensations, do not leave traces on the underwear and make it easier to feel well, leaving your disease in secret.

Dogwood berries, if they are one tablespoon each morning before meals, have a positive effect on the vascular wall, prevent bleeding and venous congestion. They effectively prevent most complications of hemorrhoids, can help reduce cones in size.

Another way to treat hemorrhoids in men at home is the use of decoctions of herbs such as nettles or cowshed. They are used several times a day( different folk guides recommend a different frequency of use).They have general restorative, analgesic and hemostatic effects. Effective for the prevention of bleeding, significantly reduce the risk of necrosis of hemorrhoids.

Garlic and milk are used together in a variety of folk recipes. In some cases, it is proposed to boil a whole garlic head in milk, peeled from coarse skin to a soft state, in others - to press on cold milk pressed garlic, in the third - just to wash three cloves of garlic with a mug of milk. In any case, the combination of the two most useful products, according to folk healers, combine their medicinal properties - garlic phytoncides, which have general strengthening, vasodilating and blood-thinning effects, and nutrients contained in milk that allow better absorption of other medicinal products.

5 Physical exercises

In addition to the use of various medicinal products, traditional medicine offers treatment for hemorrhoids with physical exercises. For example, a "birch" or "candle" is considered useful in this respect - a pose with raised legs above the head and an emphasis on the elbows. In this position, the venous outflow from the lower limbs and pelvis improves, the blood ceases to stagnate in the hemorrhoids, and the cones decrease in size, become less painful and less likely to be traumatized.

Similar to the effect of stretching exercises of the lower extremities and inguinal area - longitudinal and transverse twine, attacks, the slopes of the exercises associated with lifting the legs. Only in this case, we should not forget about the two main rules of stretching - gradualness and good warm-up. If this is not done, then instead of the curative effect, there is a risk of damaging the ligaments.

The most accessible of all physical exercises is walking and running. They improve the blood flow in the pelvic region, including the rectum, slowing down the development of venous stasis and preventing severe complications of hemorrhoids. Walking is effective in case it takes at least an hour every day, running - from half an hour. So hiking to a stop and jogging after a bus of therapeutic value do not have.

For those who work is associated with prolonged sitting, there is an easy way to prevent and treat hemorrhoids - about every hour you need to get up and do a small five-minute exercise complex. For example, walk around the room or do 5-10 sit-ups. It does not take much time and does not distract from work, but it makes life easier for those suffering from hemorrhoids.

Different folk methods can be combined with each other for greater efficiency - this will achieve a better result.

If the doctor has prescribed pills and ointments, it is worth consulting with him about the use of folk remedies, so that the treatment of hemorrhoids in men is the most complete and effective. And, of course, do not delay treatment if there are disturbing signs - persistent bleeding and pain that are not stopped by the usual means, the nodes have become hard or too soft to touch, cyanotic in color.
