PLS hep! Embarrassing question, Is there a home remedy to cure hemorrhoids?
This is a sensitive subject, so Please only serious answers, I had mine for about a year or two, they are not as bad as my cousins they also suffer from them. I use Preperation H only when they irritate.
My cousin had one removed by a band?? she says it’s painful so I wanna do something to take care of it before it gets worse.
Oh and is true to stay away from thongs?
Any tips would be appreciated:)

I have the definative solution for you as my wife had hemorrhoids before and i was looking for a natural home remedy for her about a month or two ago. The product is called h miracle which i found at this site http://www.bestnaturalhemorrhoidstreatment.com/ and it worked quite well for my wife. I think that is just what you need.

A thing is not a good idea if you are a sufferer.
As to home remedies. The ancient romans used honey to great relief. No pun intended.

Thongs are bad. Wear cotton too. no straining. more fiber in diet.

…Avoid constipation. Eat more fiber. Try otc suppositories like Prep. H or generic. Use sitz baths.
None of these maneuvers will "cure" hemorrhoids but you need to be checked.

Hemorrhoids are swollen, inflamed veins around the anus or lower rectum. There’s no "cure". You manage them or remove them. Nothing in between. "Banding", which is actually ligation, is one means of removal, is an outpatient procedure and is used to treat smaller hemorrhoids. A rubber band is placed around the hemorrhoid to cut off blood flow. The hemorrhoid tissue dies and drops off. Larger ones require surgical excision.
Anything that further irritates the inflamed tissue should be avoided. Thongs, if they bother you, prolonged sitting (this doesn’t cause them but can worsen existing ones), constipation. Make certain you have adequate dietary fiber in you diet and avoid foods that you know cause you diarrhea. Drink 2-3 liters of water each day. Get more exercise even if it’s a 30 minute walk twice a day. Avoid straining to have a bowel movement but don’t spend excessive time sitting on the toilet (reading). Other contributing factors are obesity, pregnancy, aging, chronic use of laxatives and possibly genetics.
If you seem to experience frequent or chronic constipation, follow the advice I’ve already given you and ask your doctor if it would be advisable to add a stool softener for a short while.
