This disease is usually detected in people of working age, however, it can also be recorded in the elderly. Doctors call hemorrhoids a disease associated with the pathology of blood vessels that provide blood supply to the rectum. Under the influence of a number of causes, blood clots and pathological enlargements begin to appear in the veins through which blood flows to the distal intestine. Such changes contribute to the fact that hemorrhoids become already external and noticeable. The classic symptom of this disease is the appearance of hemorrhoids.

The loss of such nodes can significantly aggravate human well-being. At first glance it seems that this problem is only aesthetic. However, this is not at all the case. The danger of hemorrhoidal nodes lies in the fact that under the influence of a number of reasons they can become inflamed and bleed. Prolonged bleeding from such nodules can cause anemia to gradually form in a sick person.

Usually the appearance of hemorrhoidal external nodes is accompanied by severe pain. In case of mild pathology, pain is manifested only when a bowel movement or lifting weights. If the disease is severe enough, then the pain in the area of ​​the nodes may appear at rest.

Enema with potato juice is quite simple. To carry out such treatment at home, you will need only a little cooled boiled water and potatoes. One medium sized potato should be grated. The resulting juice should be squeezed and mixed with pre-prepared water. It is better to do such medical enemas in the evening. After the enema is done, you need to relax and lie down for a while.

Rectal suppositories - a classic way to eliminate the adverse symptoms of hemorrhoids. Making them from potatoes at home is pretty simple. To do this, you need to take one ripe potato. It should be noted that only well-ripened potatoes will be suitable for treatment. If the tuber has areas of green color, then the vegetable is not suitable for the manufacture of therapeutic suppositories.

The fact is that in a young, not yet fully ripe potato there is an extremely dangerous substance for the human body - solanine.Once in the body, it can have a damaging effect on blood cells. Green potatoes are not only not suitable for making potato candles, but also should not be used for making juice or other treatments.

Treat hemorrhoids with potato candles can both men and women. Often, the adverse symptoms of this pathology in women of the beautiful half of humanity occur during pregnancy. Contribute to the development of hemorrhoids a large mass of the fetus and the structural features of the blood vessels in the expectant mother.

Making natural rectal candles is quite simple. Potatoes should be thoroughly washed, peeled and peeled, and cut a small piece out of it, which should resemble a rectal suppository in its shape and contours. For greater similarity during the manufacture of the suppository, it is better to focus on the pharmacy option.

The size of the candle that will be used to introduce the distal rectum should be small. Thus, the width of the suppository should be approximately 1.5 cm, and a length of about 3.5 cm. It is worth noting that all edges of the prepared candle should be rounded. There should be no sharp or uneven ends in the suppository, otherwise pain can appear when it is inserted into the rectum.

Once such a natural suppository has been made, it can be used. It is better to carry out such a medical procedure in the evening, before bedtime. If possible, before the treatment should empty the bowels.

Care should be taken when introducing a rectal suppository. Do it better on the side, in a relaxed state. It is better to introduce a rectal suppository slowly. On average, the depth of introduction should be about 4-5 cm. Do not enter the candle too deeply, because it will not affect the final result.

To reduce the resulting friction during the introduction, vegetable suppository should be lubricated with a small amount of oil. For these purposes, it is better to use sea buckthorn, as it contains active components that help the healing of mucous membranes and reduce hemorrhoids. However, if sea buckthorn oil was not at hand, you can use any other.

After the rectal suppository has been injected, you need to get some rest. Candle can be left in the rectum. During the next bowel movement, she will independently leave the body with feces. If the candle falls out of the rectum earlier, then you should not worry about this either. It takes only a few hours for all the active ingredients contained in the potato to work.

Care should be taken when carrying out treatment with potato candles. Duration of treatment can be 2 weeks.

Many people say they do not want to use rectal suppositories to eliminate adverse symptoms. In this case, they can make compresses from potatoes. They help reduce pain in the hemorrhoid area, and also help to reduce the progression of the disease. Already after the course of such therapy, a person suffering from hemorrhoids, especially those that occur with the prolapse of nodes from the rectum, feels much better.

Such potato compresses quickly help with mild disease. If the disease develops quite hard, then it will be rather difficult to cope with the symptoms that have arisen only through the use of potato lotions. In this case, it is necessary to conduct complex therapy using several means at once.

Make a potato wrap is simple enough. To do this, take a couple of small potatoes and grate them. Apply to the area of ​​the hemorrhoid can be directly grated potatoes themselves.

For better fixation to the body, a potato wrap should be fixed with a sticky adhesive. In order for all active ingredients contained in the rubbed potato mass to penetrate to the site of the lesion, it is required to leave a compress on the body for several hours. You can perform this procedure at night. In the morning, the compress should be removed, and the area of ​​application should be washed with water.

Grated potatoes are a great way to reduce inflammation. Quickly help to "remove" the adverse symptoms of lotions made from pre-chilled potatoes. It is no coincidence that supporters of traditional medicine note that before starting the preparation of compresses, it is better to put potatoes in a refrigerator for a few minutes.

Using potatoes to treat rectal pathologies can help get rid of adverse symptoms. So consider the adherents of traditional medicine. Doctors are skeptical about this method of hemorrhoids treatment. Reviews from the use of potato candles and lotions are also controversial. Quite a lot of people say that such treatment only contributed to a reduction in the intensity of the symptoms that appeared, however, it did not lead to full recovery.

Proctologists note that hemorrhoids are a pathology that requires proper attention. Uncontrolled treatment of this disease at home often leads to the fact that it is actively developing. Also, such independent therapy may contribute to the fact that the disease will "give" complications. Any treatment should be effective, so you should competently do the treatment procedures.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account the dynamics of one’s own state. So, if a person after a course of treatment with potatoes did not follow the improvement of his state of health, he should gather his strength and turn to a qualified specialist, a proctologist.
