There are different levels of hemorrhoids and each level requires its own treatment, but it is easy to treat hemorrhoids at home. Level or grade one hemorrhoids are not always noticeable. Sometimes they go away before the person even knows that they exist. The only way to know that you have grade one hemorrhoids is to find blood in your stool.

Stage One Hemorrhoids

The treatment of grade one hemorrhoids is very simple. A small change in diet should do the trick. If you know what caused your case of hemorrhoids, then preventing that from happening again will also ensure that you don't have another flare-up. Drinking water instead of caffeine or alcohol is a great start. The water will help to lubricate your digestive tract and help your food to flow more easily through your body. It is also important to up your intake of high fibre foods to help with this process. All of this will help to re-balance your digestive tract and improve your digestion.

Stage Two and Three Hemorrhoids

If you discover that you are suffering from grade two or grade three hemorrhoids, then you will want to consider a few other options in your diet change. There are a variety of foods that will help to reduce the bleeding as well as improve your digestion. Figs are especially good for the body and eaten first thing in the morning on an empty stomach will get your body going in the right direction from the start of your day.

Stage Four Hemorrhoids

Grade four, the most severe level, may be the most concerning, but is still very treatable at home. Due to the problem of inflammation and irritation, you will need to consider soaking the affected area at least four times a day. There are topical lotions and cold presses that you can make at home and can apply to the affected area which will help to ease the inflammation. Camphor, Witch Hazel and even Aloe Vera are excellent choices.
