Hemorrhoids? 6 instant tips to relieve it!

Hemorrhoids are a common but often taboo problem that can cause discomfort and pain in everyday life.

Whether internal or external, proper management and relief of symptoms is key to faster healing.

Hemorrhoids are dilated veins around the rectum, often caused by:

Persistent constipation or straining during defecation
Prolonged sitting, for example when sedentary
Increased pressure during pregnancy
Obesity or sedentary lifestyle
Low-fibre diet

Symptoms of haemorrhoids include pain, itching, bleeding or a feeling of swelling around the rectum.

How to relieve haemorrhoids

  1. Use a sitz bath

A warm camomile tea or sea salt sitz bath can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. 10 to 15 minutes a day can already bring spectacular improvement.

  1. Diet rich in fibre

Eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains to prevent constipation and reduce the risk of developing haemorrhoids.

  1. Fluid intake

Drink at least 2 to 3 litres of water a day to soften stools and ease bowel movements.

  1. Natural-based creams and balms

Ointments containing calendula, arnica or aloe vera can help reduce inflammation and speed up wound healing. Feel free to use them!

  1. Improve movement and posture

Avoid prolonged sitting and include 20-30 minutes of light exercise a day, such as walking or yoga, to increase circulation.

  1. Cold compresses

If your hemorrhoids are swollen and painful, a cold compress can provide quick relief. This reduces inflammation and discomfort.

Prevention tips

Avoid excessive straining while defecating. If this is a frequent problem, you may want to use stool softeners or natural laxatives such as prunes.

Keep the rectal area clean and dry to avoid serious infections. Use gentle, fragrance-free wipes or lukewarm water.

Raise your legs slightly when sitting on the toilet, for example using a small stool, to give a more natural angle for defecation.

If your haemorrhoidal symptoms persist for a long time, or if you experience severe pain, significant bleeding or fever, be sure to consult your doctor
