Introduction on Hemroids / Hemorrhoids Relief Centers

Hemorrhoid relief centers are a relatively recent invention of the medical industry.

Hemorrhoid relief centers were specifically created to address the rising numbers of hemorrhoid sufferers in industrial and post-industrial countries. Industrialism creates more hemorrhoids because it allows people to live more sedentary lives. Before then, we didn’t need specialists to treat the rare cases that popped up from time to time.

Since then, however, the pain and suffering hemorrhoids inflict have created a demand for hemorrhoid relief centers and hemorrhoid specialists.

However, are hemorrhoid relief centers worth the money?

That really depends on the severity of your hemorrhoids, the level to which they’re interfering in your daily life and your current overall health condition.

The vast majority of hemorrhoid cases can and probably should be treated at home, rather than in a hemorrhoids relief center.

If home treatments don’t work or if you and your family cannot cope with the anxiety or demands of home hemorrhoid treatment, then a hemorrhoids treatment center may be worth looking into.

What You’ll Find with Hemorrhoids Relief Treatment Centers

At first thought, you would expect hemorrhoids relief centers to be one stop shop for all your hemorrhoid needs, just as a supermarket center or complex meets all your daily living needs. However, hemorrhoids relief centers appear to be primarily set up by doctors, and therefore are very medically constrained in what they actually do.

The vast majority of hemorrhoid relief centers we’ve been able to find are “one horse wonders”.

In other words, the hemorrhoid relief centers specialize in one and only one form of hemorrhoid treatment. Most offer infrared coagulation, with latex banding or injection coagulation coming in around the edges.

In all of the hemorrhoid relief centers we looked at, with their published literature so far to date, we haven’t found a single indication of what sort of hemorrhoids the hemorrhoids relief centers preferred method might be good for.

Infrared coagulation, injection coagulation, latex banding and laser coagulation only work for internal hemorrhoids.

External hemorrhoids can only be surgically treated with a full hemorrhoidectomy, which usually requires a full surgical theater in a hospital.

I personally find it a little odd that none of the hemorrhoid relief centers I’ve found and researched don’t state that clearly in their introductory material.

If you suffer from an external hemorrhoid and a given hemorrhoid relief center only offers one of the internal procedures, don’t even waste your money on an initial visit.

If you suffer from internal hemorrhoids, prolapsed or not, these hemorrhoid relief centers may be able to help you.

You should investigate any hemorrhoid relief center carefully before you put your trust in them.

The doctors performing the procedures in the hemorrhoids relief centers should be fully certified specialists in proctology, they should be willing to provide you with references and you ought to trust them. If for any reason you don’t, however silly or unfounded your distrust should seem to you, find another doctor with whom you get along better.

Hemorrhoids relief centers should be able to identify the causes of your hemorrhoids

Any hemorrhoids relief center should be upfront with you about the causes of hemorrhoids.

If you suffer from Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome or any other health condition that leads to hemorrhoids, you’ll often have problems permanently curing hemorrhoids until that underlying health condition is either managed well or healed.

The hemorrhoid creating conditions you can control are found within your lifestyle.

If you are prone to hemorrhoids, you will have to eliminate any and all lifestyle hemorrhoid causes before you’ll stay hemorrhoid free over the long term. This may include a diet change, getting more exercise, eliminating constipation, improving your circulation, changing what kind of underwear you use and about a dozen other factors.

If a hemorrhoids relief center is not upfront and honest with you about what you’ll need to do at home in order to stay hemorrhoid free, then that relief center does not have your best interests at heart.

Hemroids relief centers are only one option for you to consider

Before you go spending the money on any hemorrhoid relief center, honest or not, you need to know what cheaper options are available.

As stated earlier, the vast majority of hemorrhoids are best treated at home.

Surgical procedures, even mild ones like laser or infrared coagulation, are generally seen as the last resort rather than the first step in hemorrhoid relief strategies.

If you want to explore some potentially cheaper methods of gaining hemorrhoids relief, you may want to check out all of the hemorrhoid home treatments, over the counter external hemorrhoid preparations and hemorrhoid herbal remedies available to you. We have covered just about all of them on this web site.

If you’re not sure whether you have hemorrhoids or if you’re experiencing bleeding hemorrhoids for the first time, then you’ll want to make an appointment with your regular family doctor just to make sure of your diagnosis. However, once you know what’s going on, home, over the counter and herbal hemorrhoid remedies don’t cost nearly so much as any hemorrhoid relief center in terms of money, time or risk.

If you should require a surgical procedure for your hemorrhoids, there are two reasons you may want to shop around a bit, rather than just run off to a hemorrhoids relief center.

• First off, your insurance may not cover a given hemorrhoids relief center or may only cover part of the cost.
• The second reason is that your local hospital may have a specialist on staff who is even more qualified and has the full range of hemorrhoid treatment options at his or her disposal instead of just providing one procedure like hemorrhoid relief centers do.

Hemorrhoids relief centers in Conclusion

If your hemorrhoids will respond to a particular surgical hemorrhoids procedure, and you have a reliable hemorrhoids relief center in your area that does said procedure, it may be worth your time.

Any good hemorrhoids relief center will be highly qualified on their particular procedure, which is sometimes better than a proctologist that has more rounded experience in multiple procedures.

However, think carefully, think twice, ask your regular family doctor’s opinion, and make the best health decision for you.
