Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid. The Causes, Prevention & Medication

By Santos Mccoy

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids occur when the blood supply of an external hemorrhoid is cut off, so resulting to strangulation and formation of blood clot inside it. These clots are found inside the veins, often just under the skin and develop over time . They are customarily located outside the anus and can be truly painful.

Piles are way more agonizing in patients who have a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. Thrombosed means blood-filled and external haemorrhoid are those found in the area of the anal sphincter. A hemorrhoid becomes thrombosed after its blood supply is cut off.

Surgery is generally indicated by a doctor in patients troubled with a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. Though momentarily thrombosed haemorrhoid may make a response to cortisone creams, the discomfort typically returns, as the cortisone treatment only relieves the discomfort momentarily.

It is usually better to prevent a condition than to treat it. A thrombosed external hemorrhoid can be avoided by stopping constipation, hard stools, straining during defecation, and eating a high fiber whole grain containing diet. Many effective fiber additions will be available at most chemists on an OTC basis. Besides this, you may go in for stool softeners such as Colace or Senokot.

Since a thrombosed external hemorrhoid develops steadily, taking the above early action will help you to prevent this unpleasant condition. The cream contains hydro-cortisone which besides its shrinking action also eases itching, agony, and burning related to these hemorrhoids. Are you wanting surgery on a thrombosed external Hemorrhoid?

That depends, some doctors have told folks who employed the thrombosed external Hemorrhoid treatment below that surgery was the only way. For myself and others who were told this all I am able to tell you is this treatment worked way better then surgery and is less evasive. When you have this type of surgery you do run the chance of having anal leaking. Yes, a unpleasant and embarrassing condition to have as well as the odor cause from the seepage.
