1 How to recognize the disease at the initial stage?

How long is hemorrhoids treated? It's usually quite long, because patients turn to specialists for help only when things really get bad. Primary manifestations of the disease are often ignored, as non-dangerous. Yes, they can affect the quality of life, but for many, this is not an excuse to consult a doctor for qualified care. Symptoms of hemorrhoids include:

• periodically manifested pain in the anus, localized in the anus;
• itching: first completely invisible, but as the disease develops it grows to unbearable;
• bleeding: the blood is usually bright red, appears either on toilet paper or on linen, sometimes it can be in the feces;
• feeling of discomfort: often this is characterized by external hemorrhoids, because the nodes swollen from the blood, press on the skin and give the sensation of an alien body;
• inflammation of the hemorrhoids: they become plump, very sensitive and react sharply to any touch.

All of the above symptoms, if manifested at the initial stages of the disease, are very rare and not so bad - that's why very few people are involved in prevention, and when problems start, one has to start with a rather complicated and long treatment.

2 How long does the therapy last?

Hemorrhoids with modern means can be cured without problems - the main thing is that the patient really wants to get rid of the disease, rather than throwing the procedure after the primary symptoms pass. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that the time can be taken decently for therapy, and no doctor will give the exact date of the final cure for hemorrhoids.

How many times does hemorrhoids pass? On average, complex treatment takes from ten to fourteen days, but in the last stages of the illness the period of final recovery is pushed back for at least two more weeks.

Usually, treatment begins with a course of medications( provided that a person has promptly consulted a doctor).The further development of events depends on how effective the first stage of therapy will be. Medications taken at this stage, can significantly reduce the inflammatory process in the body, and also eliminate symptoms.

If the doctor decides that medication can not be avoided, a minimally invasive non-surgical intervention is prescribed. There are several methods: sclerotherapy, doping or infrared coagulation. They are used exclusively in the hospital. How long does hemorrhoids treat these methods? Typically, the operation takes a couple of hours, and the recovery is taken a little more than a week( on average - no more than ten days) - then everything depends on the characteristics of the body and the competence of the doctor.

In the case where the nodes are so developed that they do not fit back, and the patient is not able to sit, hemorrhoidectomy is recommended.

This operation can be carried out both out-patient and in-patient. Before the procedure it will be necessary to undergo training, and then use a special restorative technique. This will take about two months( with the most favorable outcome - a month), but with hemorrhoids will be finished.

3 Acceleration of recovery of

Even if a patient had to start with serious treatment, you can significantly reduce the time that he will have to suffer from the symptoms listed above. To do this, it is sufficient to observe a number of simple rules in everyday life:

• to lead an active life: walk more, if possible, play sports;
• do not smoke or drink - or do it in very moderate amounts;
• to eat as balanced as possible - choose a healthy diet, do not gorge on sweet and fat, etc.;
• monitor your own weight, avoiding obesity.

Recommendations by themselves are fairly simple, but not every patient agrees to restrict themselves in taking tasty, but harmful food, and forcing oneself to move. Because of this, even after a successful treatment, the disease returns or develops much more quickly if the symptoms have been successfully ignored. Implementation of the above rules, on the contrary, accelerates the recovery of the body and reduces the time for recovery.

4 Recommended prevention

To never know the "charms" of a given disease, it is better to take care of simple prevention beforehand. The same measures will work if the patient has understood the disease and now does not want to return the symptoms at the first opportunity:

• it is necessary to follow a diet that the proctologist doctor will prescribe. There is usually nothing complicated in it, even allowances are allowed several times a month;
• take preventive medications that prevent symptoms from developing to a noticeable level;
• periodically engage in sports, observe a balance between activity and time spent in peace, whenever possible - engage in active activities that do not require much effort;
• monitor the symptoms, the first few years after the course of treatment regularly( at least twice a year) to visit the proctologist for follow-up visits. After this time, you can reduce the number of visits, if the symptoms themselves have not been shown and if the proctologist allows it.

Prevention will not help if the disease is already pronounced - in this case you need to undergo a full course of treatment and only then think about the measures that will not allow hemorrhoids to develop the next time.

Hemorrhoids - a disease that is certainly unpleasant, but you can deal with it quite quickly: provided that the patient will follow the doctor's instructions and try to follow the rules of a healthy lifestyle.

Initially, no changes will be visible, but the first impression of treatment is deceptive - after a few days patients notice how things have changed. Many can begin to sit quietly and fidget in the chair, the pain even disappears with a serious degree of the disease, and people feel much more comfortable.
