BOWEL MOVEMENT WITH BLOOD: TREATMENT
The main course of treatment for hemorrhoids is getting off your butt—both literally and figuratively. You should start exercising, and don’t sit for more than an hour at a time if you can help it. You should also eat a diet that is high in digestible fiber such as cereals and bran but low in nondigestible fiber such as nuts and popcorn. You can also use a stool softener such as Colace two or three times a day, especially if the stool is hard, and use premoistened Tucks pads after a bowel movement to help soothe the area. Preparation H or Anusol in cream form or suppositoties will help shrink the hemorrhoids. Your doctor may also give you a prescription for a suppository containing cortisone, which will help reduce the swelling.
If your hemorrhoids tend to recur, your doctor may want to remove them surgically with a laser or by rubber banding them, a procedure in which a band is placed around the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply so that it falls off. Or he may opt for traditional surgery.
