Get Rid of Hemorrhoids | Hemorrhoid Remedies You Can Try on Your Own at Home

There are several steps you can take at home to ease the discomfort caused by hemorrhoids:

Take a sitz bath two to three times daily for 15 to 20 minutes. Sit in warm water, covering just your hips and buttocks. This can help reduce itching and irritation. You can take a sitz bath in a few inches of water in a regular tub, but small tubs that fit over toilet seats are also available for this purpose at pharmacies. Following a sitz bath, gently pat the area dry to avoid further irritation.

Use ice packs on the area to relieve swelling and pain.

Don't push too hard or strain while passing a bowel movement.

Clean your anus after each bowel movement by gently patting (rather than wiping) with moistened pads, such as baby wipes. Using hard, dry toilet paper, which may contain fragrance, can cause further irritation.

Keep the area clean by bathing or showering daily with warm water. After bathing, gently pat the area dry. You can even use a hair dryer to dry the area.

Sit on cushions rather than hard surfaces to help lessen the swelling of hemorrhoids and keep new ones from forming.
