Some home cures for hemorrhoids (Physicians recommend home treatments in all but the most severe cases):

• You can reduce swelling by using ice packs for 5 to 10 minutes a couple of times a day, and also soak in warm water several times a day.
• Do not force your bowel movements, and don't strain while trying to clear the bowels
• After clearing the bowels thoroughly pat the area (do not rub) with some medicated pads or even damp toilet paper. Do not use strong soap / cleansing products. Dilute the cleaning products with some water.
• Petroleum jelly and tropical creams can prevent mucous from irritating the hemorrhoids
• Wear loose fitting clothing and cotton underwear
• Take stool softening pills or fiber supplements to help create gentler and easier bowel movements
• And the most important home cures for hemorrhoids: eat healthier fiber based diets and drink lots of water

If you want to prevent hemorrhoids from reoccurring it will be necessary to make some lifestyle changes with regards to both diet and exercise. Increase your fiber and water intake.

Some people suggest that surgery offers permanent relief from hemorrhoids, but hemorrhoids are notorious for recurring. Not to mention, surgery is an unpleasant and painful process. Surgery can also weaken bladder and bowel control.
