Help hemorrhoids.?

Issue
Okay, I think I have a hemroid that just appeared 2weeks ago.. :( I wanted to know if Vitamin E Oil will help rid them? And can someone please explain the rubber band method in detail? Please and thank you.

Best Tip

From searching Google, it looks like the Vitamin E oil thing is new agey alternative/complementary medicine. I can't recommend it, but here's one link

As for rubber bands, I've had the procedure and it was not very painful. They drug you before the procedure so you can't feel it, and there was very little pain afterwards.

Here's more info:
"Rubber band ligation is a procedure in which the hemorrhoid is tied off at its base with rubber bands, cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid.

To perform the procedure, a doctor inserts a viewing instrument (anoscope) into the anus. The hemorrhoid is grasped with an instrument, and a device places a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid then shrinks and dies and, in about a week, falls off.

A scar will form in place of the hemorrhoid, holding nearby veins so they don't bulge into the anal canal.

The procedure is done in a doctor's office. You will be asked whether the rubber bands feel too tight. If the bands are extremely painful, a medication may be injected into the banded hemorrhoids to numb them.

After the procedure, you may feel pain and have a sensation of fullness in the lower abdomen, or you may feel as if you need to have a bowel movement.

Treatment is limited to 1 to 2 hemorrhoids at a time if done in the doctor's office. Several hemorrhoids may be treated at once if the person has general anesthesia. Additional areas may be treated at 4- to 6-week intervals." Source(s): http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/...
