🤫 Let’s Talk About It: Hemorrhoids!
It’s a topic many avoid, but the reality is, hemorrhoids are incredibly common! According to Mayo Clinic, 1 in 20 individuals deals with them, and up to 50% of adults over 50 have experienced at least one.
Did you know hemorrhoids are actually swollen veins, much like varicose veins? At The Vein Institute, we provide the vascular care you need, including diagnosis and treatment for stubborn hemorrhoids. If you’re tired of the pain and discomfort, we may suggest an infrared coagulation procedure for painless relief.
Managing Mild Hemorrhoids at Home (Lifestyle Tips!):
Fiber Up! 🍎🍞 Softens stools and reduces straining. Find it in fruits, veggies, whole grains, or supplements. Introduce slowly!
Take a Warm Bath 🛀 A sitz bath (or your regular tub with ½ cup Epsom salts) for 15 minutes can soothe discomfort. Pat dry afterward!
Stick to a Schedule ⏰ Regular bathroom habits can prevent constipation and straining.
Avoid Prolonged Sitting 🚗💻🚽 Too much pressure on those veins can worsen hemorrhoids. Stand up and move around hourly!
Exercise Regularly 🚶♀️💪 Helps combat constipation, prevents prolonged sitting, and aids weight management.
When to Seek Help:
Lifestyle changes are great for prevention, but if you have a stubborn hemorrhoid now, Infrared Coagulation (IRC) can quickly eliminate the problem by painlessly coagulating the blood in the veins through heat energy.
Don’t suffer any longer! Get the relief you need.
